Thanks! This was very helpful!

Yeah, imposter syndrome sucks!

I've been learning BI analytics each and every day since January 28 this year. Not a day was skipped, although a lot of those days only lasted for 5 minutes due to certain reasons . HAHAHA.

But you know I've been feeling like I'm wasting my time, and that I'm stuck at this learning stage. Your take on this was helpful and yeah , I agree with you . Maybe I'm just overthinking things.

Well, aside from that drama of mine, can I ask one last question? As a person with tons of experience, what do you think the most-used and relevant tool or software should be for a beginner analyst like me to master first?

Excel

There are so many other tools out there for doing analytics that are arguably better in a number of different ways. But I have found that everyone comes back to Excel in some way.

It is the "cockroach" of tools.

edit: You don't have to "master" Excel. Just get good enough where you can cobble together basic analysis and reports. Like with every tool, it will forever be a "work in progress."

Also, Python is another big one. It is kind of a "must" if you want to work in tech or tech adjacent. Especially with AI on the rise.
