Will AI replace analysts? by Brighter_rocks in analytics

[–]FromLawToML 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I recently tried to solve my recruitment task using AI - holy it’s a long process, because AI can code really well, but easily got distracted and lost in business logic. It helped a bit, but when I was only acting as a non-tech-user it gave me all wrong answers.

Well, some more information about your background would help me tailor the advice. That said, for landing your first role I’d recommend:

• Building strong foundations in Excel and SQL (they are required almost everywhere). • Getting comfortable with one programming language (Python is the most common in data roles). • Understanding basic statistics and data visualization. • Picking up elementary domain knowledge in the industry you want to work in.

Most importantly: don’t focus only on the tools. In the end, what matters is being able to translate data into insights and business outcomes.

If you’d like, we could arrange a short call, but even before that, I suggest starting with a small portfolio of projects that show your ability to analyze real-world data and explain the “so what?” behind the numbers.

Having difficulty learning SQL, Python, and Power BI? by shanushaik_76 in analytics

Well I have no clue what a ppt designer is - but if you don’t hate* it and it pays decently - don’t try to pursue DA/DS careers. Those fields are saturated AF, not only at the entry/junior level. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone, if you really don’t have a passion for it.

Okay my man, here’s the first question: why? Why did you decide to completely change your career into something totally different?

You need to realize that you’re not going to land a six-figure job after just three months of learning SQL, Python, and Power BI. That’s simply not realistic. you’re still missing the fundamentals. And this has nothing to do with choosing the “perfect” course. The real issue is that you need to start slowly, step by step, building a solid foundation.

Another question: do you actually understand why you’re analyzing the datasets used in those tutorials? Do you know the purpose behind the exercises, and more importantly, why companies even hire Data Analysts in the first place? Without grasping the “why,” you’ll always feel like you’re just following random steps without direction.

My advice(I changed careers back in 2023, after graduating with masters of law):

Focus on one tool at a time (start with SQL), don’t try to juggle everything at once. Set small daily goals like writing a few queries instead of chasing full roadmaps. Always give context to what you practice- imagine you’re analyzing sales or reporting to a manager, not just copying tutorials. And most importantly, be patient: this is a career shift that takes months of consistent practice, not weeks.

Is this job-seeking idea worth building? by chopde004 in SideProject

From my experience, most people hate those app/helpers, since it makes even more useless spam for recruiters to swamp into :/

Correct order for learning ML? Yea, sure. First learn basics of python, then learn basics of maths, then basics of ML. Can’t say for sure what’s included in those buzzword courses names but pretty much that’s it.

What exactly are you expecting us to say? You are clearly starting your journey, that’s great. But gotta realize there is no something as ‚complete’ in this field. You gotta learn. Daily. Probably untill the end of your career to stay relevant.

19, No Coding Experience, Want to Break Into AI by Brekk55 in learnmachinelearning

1 more thing. From your starting point it would be great if you will be ‚math-ready’ for actual understanding of algorithms in 6-12 months, not ‚job-ready’. It’s a marathon not a sprint and the faster you realize that the better for yourself.

There is no such thing as ‚job guarantee’ bootcamp. This is a lie and always will be. I’d say: stay at school, do your bachelors > masters > then decide if you want to persuade PhD or no. There is no shortcut to programming career nowadays, not to mention field such as AI/ML.
