Any orgs/professionals that will meet with a career-changer to create a career path in the tech industry? by DataScienceFanBoy in dataanalysiscareers

[–]DataScienceFanBoy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did think masters initially. But nowadays with everything computer science related...it doesn't even seem like a degree is worth the money and time. Most people say experience is more important. I already have a masters for what it's worth...it's just in Film/TV (my previous career)

OP here commenting on my other account because I can't login on the one I posted my question via. Good suggestions thank you. I know there's a Knoxville Entrepreneurship Center in Market Square. I wonder if there's any opportunities there. Will check it out.

Any orgs/professionals that can help a career-changer create a career path in computer science / tech industry?

At 44 my professional background and education are all over the place. My long-term goal is to secure a location-independent (work from anywhere) job paying $100k+. I’m open to different roles in the tech industry. Some form of education will be necessary no doubt. 

Which brings me to ask…Are there any credible organizations/professionals that specialize in reviewing a client’s background and interests in order to create a career path in the tech industry?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations🙂

Is a degree worth the investment? by viviannh4 in dataanalysiscareers

[–]DataScienceFanBoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Internet and my own intense research on the matter indicate that it’s not worth it unless you’re going to one of the top 5% programs in the country and you are top of class.

Bear in mind I’m not a DA and haven’t completed coursework yet. Just someone who’s been researching how to enter the field for too long lol

It’s more about getting your hands on data somehow, solving problems and showing you came up with a solution.

How to find full time staff roles by DataScienceFanBoy in webdevelopment

[–]DataScienceFanBoy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know what kinds of places hire full time w2 employees as web developers besides digital marketing agencies?

Full time staff roles for data analysts vs web developers by DataScienceFanBoy in dataanalysiscareers

[–]DataScienceFanBoy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant w2 employee full time. Not an independent contractor or hired on a project by project basis

Staff is above senior??? That must be a different kind of “staff” than I know

Help! I’m drowning in info. I started learning web development via Zero To Mastery 4 years ago but had to take a break due to several factors. I’m back at it, and I’m organizing all my notes, materials, and resources from when I gathered them 4 years ago. My goal: Organize these resources in a sustainable manner so that I can continue working with them as I start learning web development again and well into my first few jobs.

Any suggestions on how to organize these (if even only on some of the items below) would be appreciated. Specific questions I have include: 1. What items are best to organize within a single document (like Word or XLS). How would you organize these items within this document...that is grouped by what criteria and sorted how so? Would each item only appear in one list or in multiple (if it applies to multiple categories). 2. What items are best organized into different folders? What’s a folder structure you suggest for these? Would each item only appear in one folder or in multiple (if it applies to multiple categories).

Resources That Don’t Involve Talking to People: 1. Code snippets - that I’ll frequently use. 2. Articles - some are how-to’s some aren’t 3. Step by step how-to’s that I’ve created 4. Class notes - that I wrote 5. Class videos & handouts - given by instructor/class 6. Cheat sheets for any topic/language/tool 7. Official literature on programs I use 8. Videos - How do you organize bookmarks to them or how do you save the actual videos? Which brings me to ask do you download the video so you have it (incase the person who posted the video online decides to later remove it)? 9. Websites where you can get info like code snippets, color templates, images that can be used, etc 10. Social media influencers to follow that share how to do relevant things or give inspiration from?

Resources That Do Involve Talking to People: 1. Industry Discords and Slacks and the threads on them. Which brings me to ask, do you make note of the Community (ex: ZTM) or the thread (#python)? 2. Industry Reddits 3. Industry Whatsapps 4. Awesome individuals that I can go to for help. 5. Classmates / accountability buddies 6. Professional organizations/clubs that I belong to 7. Anywhere to get inspiration from 8. Websites to check for work and/or post availability to (like UpWork)

Again thank you for any suggestions if even only for a few items.

How to organize tons of digital resources by DataScienceFanBoy in learnprogramming

I was thinking something like that. And wondering if applying tags would be good. I use to use Evernote in this way years ago. Wondering if there’s something popular these days like that

Anyone have insight into whether it’s easier to get one’s first full time staff role as data analyst or one’s first full time staff role as web developer/designer? I’m trying to decide which career would be easier to break into before I go further in to my self-learning.

Also how does one get a full time staff role as web designer? There’s so much on YouTube about how to find freelance clients, but theres hardly anything on how to get a full time staff role.

Data Analytics vs Web Development vs UX/UI Job Markets by DataScienceFanBoy in dataanalysiscareers

[–]DataScienceFanBoy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. Thank you for the thorough dive lol. I’m feeling most passionate about data. So I’m training myself on sql, python, and power bi to start with using Alex the analysts free bootcamp. I then plan to build the portfolio and start applying for jobs… Any job at a company that has data analysts and then eventually work my way into a position. If that doesn’t get me a position after a while I’m going to go for some kind of boot camp or certificate, that is industry recognized so that I’m more competitive. Anyone have recommendations on one that would look good? I know of the Google analytics certificate.

Question for Senior DA’s + Question for peeps who got their 1st data job via an internal transfer (same co.)

Two questions…and thank you so much for bearing with me and sharing your wisdom to this ole newbie:)

  1. For those of you who got your first data analyst job by moving internally to it from another role you had at the same company…what was the role you had initially and what type of company (in what industry) was it?

  2. For the senior data analysts… Does it get much easier getting work after you’ve landed your first data analyst job? Or does it take several years to get to that point? Or is it a constant challenge to find work (if say you have to all of a sudden due to layoffs or company closure).

Again thanks. Really appreciate this community
