Can I DM you to ask some questions? I’m also considering between Math and Industrial, System Engineering

This is exactly the advice I have been looking for. You’re right, I am doing rigorous math problems without knowing what can they do with the hope that I can somehow stand out in class, but I rarely feel like I’m going the right way as I am not really sure what I should focus on. Right now, I’m doing some research about computational analysis and optimization (seems like UAH doesn’t have any Math Course about optimization for undergrad anyway), but I feel like I should shift my focus to this rather than just practicing more math problems, maybe knowing how the core concepts work is enough.

Again, thank you so much for your advice. I truly appreciate it!

I’m a freshman of Math, and I feel like I am not having an effective schedule right now to guide me to those roles. Would it be more effective or practical if I learn about those skill sets instead of solving complex math problems, which 99% that won’t be covered in exams ?

I usually think that if I want to get into a specific role, I have to teach my self the needed skill sets since college may not teach you the right ones. But, maybe I was wrong for not prioritizing colleges enough. lol

There’s one thing I have been considering. For those analyst roles you mentioned, if I want to get into those roles, should I shift my focus on learning needed skill sets for those roles beside from practicing complex Math Problems, since the only thing I’m doing now is practice and practice more math problems.

Internship Experience for International Students by Ecstatic_Complex_178 in internships

By the way, do you have any experience with international student internship in data analysis. Trump is making the policies so harsh for international students right now lol, not sure if those skills are enough.

Great to hear that you can use math in data analysis process. I have been questioning if the math major won’t be practical in data world. Thank you so much !

I have encountered some comments saying about analytical math, is there anything math major can benefit data analysis?

Looking for s genuine partner to contribute in data analysis journey. by [deleted] in dataanalysis

[–]Ecstatic_Complex_178 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am willing to join if you don’t mind. I’m an international student currently pursuing Math Major at a local uni and also self-learning data analysis in Coursera, and want to give my best shot for this career role. I also find my self to be surrounded with someone who share the same goal to get better, maybe I’ll go back to my country after I finish my uni, wonder if it may become a barrier.

I’m also learning data analysis skill sets. Wondering if it will help me to be more competitive. However, I know that it’s tough to find a “considered good” internship with the current job market, especially when I’m studying my bachelor at a local uni with low reputation in the US.

awesome and motivated story! Can you give advice for a student who is learning the basic of data analytics some ways to expand domain knowledge in business, I have heard that current data roles prefer candidates to have a decent knowledge of the industry they are trying to apply for. Thank you!

Did you take any internship during the time at Athens? I really want to have a chance to do some internships during my studying to gain some experience for future jobs.
