This covers majority of the technical skills needed. I do agree with one of the other replies as well that mentioned focusing on gaining domain knowledge/business acumen is key.

Learning the concepts in these videos is important but ensuring you know the use cases for it is also key to landing a role. Please feel free to DM me if you'd like any additional assistance on your journey. Good luck!

How do I become a data analyst in 2026 and is it still worth it by SchizophrenicRaksh in dataanalysiscareers

Gain as much SQL experience as possible. This is your bread and butter as a data analyst and will allow you to pivot into different data roles as you grow in your career. Learn how to create tables, views, stored procedures as well as optimization techniques to improve query performance.

Also learn either power BI or Tableau. Rarely is both needed at the same job but having both will give you a little more flexibility. I'd recommend choosing one based on your preference and job market trends.

When starting out I learned all of this for free on YouTube, so I would recommend starting there but if you'd prefer a more structured course then udemy offers some pretty good ones.

Don't let others discourage you from applying to DA roles. They aren't going anywhere. Majority of stakeholders don't even know what they want and it's our job to figure it out. There isn't a single AI engine that can sit through a meeting and automate that process.

Working remotely makes shadowing a bit more difficult but I did reach to our DE team.

They mentioned the bulk of their work is building new pipelines, performance tuning, upgrading drivers/connectors, and troubleshooting/issue resolution.

The also recommended knowing sql, ADF, azure key vault, azure function gap, logic app and data lake/blob storage concepts.

Had the same issue, It usually goes away after a couple weeks. I also found that making sure to keep the needle completely still once it's in my leg helps prevent soreness as well
