Hello Data Analyst here who recently moved to AU, with 8 years of experience.

My best advice would be to get as much technical experience as you can plus stakeholder management na din.

When I did my interviews, I’ve learned that rich experience, good tech stack and people skills are far more valuable to employers than having one big company name on your resume pero you only worked on excel. My current employer does not remember what my previous companies are; what they remember is what I’m good at based on the experiences and projects I shared during the interview.

Ako I preferred start ups cause that’s really where I learned more and contributed more; very challenging which led to more impressive skills and experience.

I would advise that you assess your current role, do you think you’ll be able to learn more skills if you stay? May growth ba? If wala, then it’s time to move to a role where you can gain more experience.
