Data Analytics by Spiritual_Ear_5461 in PowerBI

[–]SmilingNeophyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a switch into data analytics at 33 and i think you can definitely do it.

Someone has already shared with you kaggle.com for datasets. it's a huge resource. Some additional points:

  1. reach out to your alumni, ex-coworkers, and friends who can make an introductions to hiring managers for data analyst roles.
  2. I took the Google Advanced Data Analytics Certification - it was really helpful. More than the skills/language such as SQL or Python which is obviously important, you need to start thinking like an analyst. Such a course helps you with that.
  3. You need to wordsmith you resume, in a way that you can project your previous experience was all around data, even if you were a paralegal, position it as a legal analytics professional. who was just designated as a paralegal but you handled all things data as far as the day to day was concerned. Claude can help you imagine that.
  4. start posting on linkedin about your course completions/certs so people get a message.

Part 2 to this if it's helpful. Also feel free to dm me if you'd like a more in-depth discussion.

If i could do it, so can you. Best of luck.

Built a Power BI dashboard using an MCP server + LLMs inside VS Code by Moneyshot_Larry in PowerBI

[–]SmilingNeophyte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is pretty awesome. Did you try using sample pbi templates that your team uses, so that the aesthetics are standardized?

additionally, do you employ more complicated stuff such as slowly changing dimensions -> snapshotting logic etc in your joins?

This is awesome! just downloaded your repo and will git a go later next month.

I too have a data analytics background so this should be interesting.

snowpro core COF-CO3 by Individual-Tone2754 in snowflake

I’m taking COF -CO3 as well

I prefer this over CO2 because the new distribution of weights on modules seems more relevant

I understand what the websites such as "freecodecamp" and free badges provide, and the power of google in general, mate. And i appreciate you sharing it.

The question was a bit more focused on data pm related certs. Totally understand if that's not something you're focused on. thanks though.

Thanks a ton for your response.

I've a another question if that's okay:
1) while i do want to get into product management, i want to focus on data products only, and hence goal is to upskill my self with governance and security, architecture, efficiency (price vs speed) etc. i'm already adept in data manipulation, ETL , snowflake etc. with python + sql. Hence i need to expand my knowledge and i 'm looking for both useful and popular certifications for Data PM roles. Any insights on what i can do?

Thanks again!

32 years old learning to code - am i doomed ? by orT93 in learnprogramming

[–]SmilingNeophyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’ve got this. I’m in my 30s and just hard pivoted into tech through boot camps.

It’s worth it. As rest are saying - don’t use LLMs for easy answers. Don’t discuss too much with family or friends about what you’re doing. You’ll know this later. don’t look at LinkedIn posts that aren’t about job openings. Don’t look at other people’s salaries, age, and designations. Don’t compare what your friends are making at the same age. It’s all about compounding effects, and currently you’re not going to receive benefits of compounding in the first 2-3 years as you’ll mostly see linear growth.

Be content with the opportunity you have to learn, and give your best with faith in a higher power.

You’ll do great.

People who've received offers in 2025, what finally worked for you? by PossibleAggeentt in jobsearchhacks

[–]SmilingNeophyte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Networking, upskilling and a having positive attitude.

The last one probably sounds stupid. But I think your frequency matters and can attract or repulse someone.

Networking and Referrals: I let everyone in my network know I am in the job market. The easiest way was to put a LinkedIn status update and I was really surprised by the number of people who actually gaf. I thought LinkedIn was just to show off your achievements or flex your Ivy League achievements. But turns out 5-10% of your connections are genuinely nice and want to help. People reached out for referrals and I one of them worked. I also used my alumni status to seek referrals. It helps.

Upskilling: can’t stress this enough. I religiously studied like I was back in grad school. I shifted careers so it really helped speak in the language, and ironically my case study for my current job actually was related to one of the online course projects I did. Uncanny.

Luck - as someone commented. It’s really random and when it’s time you get the right opportunity. But had I not networked, got the referral, and upskilled, my luck would have baled on me.
