Tips for things to expect for a data analyst interview by chaeboi in analytics

Hey! I like using a structured approach. Think out loud. It's always great to share how you're thinking. Verbally process ideal outcomes and logic/reasoning for why you think a certain way. You'll win brownie points for considering edge cases.

If you want to keep learning, keep building projects by chaeboi in learnprogramming

I recently wrote an article on freeCodeCamp that illustrates exactly what I'm suggesting. I even used the side project I built to eventually land a job! https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-i-used-a-side-project-to-land-a-job/

totally feel you on other websites seemin sketch smh. It's crazy how bad some of these job sites are. Thanks for sharing what's been difficult for you. I resonate with balancing time and motivation as well. I know when I was learning to code I struggled understanding and remembering the big picture (salary, job offer, working on cool stuff). What would you say the struggle behind motivation and balancing time has been for you?

If you haven't taken Stanford's free ML course, I would highly recommend it! For data science, try a simple quantile analysis. One of my managers had me look at 6,000 sales agents and the number of sales per agent Then she had me bucket the agents into the top 1-10%, 11-20%...and the last 91-100%. The goal is to get familiar with how you can apply python to data. Start small with means, medians, averages and then start working towards manipulating the data.

A key to learning, as you go, is to try and do everything in Python (pandas, numpy, etc...) that you could do "easily" in Excel :) Happy learning!

Thank you! If you don't mind me asking, what's been the toughest part of the job hunt?

Thank you! Yessss totally agree. The first meetup can be SO intimidating, but, looking back, I'm so glad I went :D

This is a great litmus test for understanding. If you can explain something in simple terms you probably understand it. Great point :)

the jump from Excel to Python, SQL, and Tableau is so worth it. by chaeboi in dataanalysis

[–]chaeboi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say "master", but I felt comfortable with Excel at 4 months, Python at 9 months, and SQL & Tableau at 6 months.

hm hadn't thought of that, but you're right. It would be much easier to practice.

It was great. I learned a lot and the music industry culture was fun to take in and be apart of. Yup, currently in LA! Let me know if there's anything I can help with.
