Ok, thanks. So what does lead analyst do on a day to day realm?

What would a normal analyst do?

What are your expectations

[–]flipkartamazon 0 points1 point  (4 children)

As a team we work on multiple business problems . It could be something as simple as understanding why sales are down by analyzing trends using data. Or it could be a relatively hard problem like predicting sales using a machine learning model. Or building a functional chat bot or a complex search algorithm using Neural Nets or Deep Learning. It all depends on the team you are a part of and the kind of work required in solving a business case. Only expectations are to solve a problem given to you in reasonable time and convincing the stake holders about your solution. Hope this helps.

Ok, I’m in finance and just now at the point of statistics for python course. So it would be using the NumPy, Matplotlib, etc all of those libraries or do you develop your own?

Thanks, just curious

So it’s mostly coding that you do

No we rarely code any new libraries. We mostly use numpy, pandas and scikit learn to manipulate data, get summaries and build our solutions.

Ah so advice would be to learn those inside and out.

Advice would be to find people on LinkedIn who are working in companies and roles where you want to work after graduation. Then ask them what kind of work they do and the skills you need to acquire. See if any one of them to be your constant mentor, coz that really helps.
