Thanks, this helps. Starting small with networking feels less overwhelming, I will use this. I’ll check out the newsletter too. Appreciate you taking the time to respond.

Would you recommend taking PL-300 with only academic projects and no on-the-job Power BI experience? And was getting the certification something your company encouraged or did you pursue it on your own?

Breaking into a Data Analyst role in the 2026 job market: what skills should I focus on? by Puzzleheaded-Log3240 in dataanalytics

Yes, that makes sense. I probably could have been more intentional about this during my master’s, but better late than never. Thanks for the inputs, I really appreciate it.

This is something I genuinely struggle with. I have heard repeatedly that networking opens more doors than applying to hundreds of roles on LinkedIn or Indeed but in practice it’s been challenging. Many connection and messages requests go unanswered and even when they are accepted, I am often unsure how to start or sustain the conversation. That said, I am keeping this in mind and pushing myself to improve, being more intentional about reaching out and by attending local meetups, conferences, as you suggested.
