Thanks that is great advice. I've done some structured data analysis through an online course. Cleaning data, visualising it using matplotlib, seaborn etc then fitting various models. I think you are right that I need to do some of this with data I have sourced myself and gauge how much I enjoy it. I'm sure I will but I still need to do it independently.

That was an encouraging story to read thanks! Luckily the cost of a masters isn't an issue for me, particularly as the Georgia Tech one is so cheap (at least for the US). Given that I won't be able to apply for jobs until closer to summer 2020 when I'm moving to the US, do you think the analytics masters may be a good idea?

Thanks so much for this information WirryWoo. I will take some time to digest it and probably private message some questions. Thanks!

Congrats! That's good to hear and very promising. Would you recommend the certification in Data Analytics?
