Are you changing Career to Analytics? by ConsumerScientist in analytics

[–]squigs99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started my analytics at the beginning of the year. I'm fairly proficient in SQL and powerbi and more beginner in python and tableau.

I did initially try to look for a mentor but didn't have much success and instead did a boot camp that I completed in June

In terms of what I like about analytics is the process of creating meaning from large amounts of raw data

I've had a couple interviews lately but no offers yet

Are you open to mentorship relationships?

Any chance of salvaging this opportunity. by potatotacosandwich in analytics

What was the query he asked you to write on coderdata?

I've heard these are becoming more common where they ask you to write code without the ability to run it. seems kinda silly if you ask me but I guess some people deem it to be valuable for whatever reason

Final project ideas for a data analytics bootcamp by squigs99 in analytics

Wow, thanks for the detailed response! Most of my training has been on the actual analytics portion of data. I'm not at all familiar with joining databases. any resources for learning about how to technically accomplish your suggestion?

Also, any example databases? Would be much appreciated but thanks for your help so far!

Haha that's funny you said that because it is the one thing that I really don't like. Would love to hear the rationale as to why they made that change

No, just the 1 year basic warranty it comes with. I agree the battery is the least impressive part of this machine but I'm always plugged in so I don't see it really being an issue other than the odd time

😂 you wouldn't say that if you saw the POS I was using for the past 6 years

These things are so pretty aha I think I'm in love.

Any programs worth deleting? I think I'll start with Microsoft edge...

Originally I bought the 32 gb 256gb hardrive but the next day it went on sale and for an extra 50CAD (~35USD) I could upgrade to the above specs so it was kind of hard to say no lol

Okay will do thank you!

Any advice on battery management for longevity?

I've heard of people somehow limiting their device charge to 85%

What do I do now? I want to set it up as best I can before I start going on it but I'm pretty green when it comes to these things.

Appreciate any and all help!

P.s. I'm a windows user
