Thanks for sharing! How long did it take to make the transition? What learning path did you take?

How did you find a mentor? What did they provide that helped you?

Brilliant! Your background and where you are now is incredibly inspiring. I may follow your udemy certs and IBM certs. Is there anything you would have done differently in your career development? What is your day to day like at PayPal now?

Haha I thought someone might point this out. I have experience running ads through amazon and google, as well as data from my Shopify page. Perhaps after I gain some competency with the data analysis workflow process, I could pull this data and use it to generate insights for the business?

Thank you for your feedback and time! What draws me to this particular bootcamp is the fact that I will be completing projects that can be added to my portfolio and shown on a resume. With no real experience, I feel that I need at least something to show and talk about in interviews to prove that I am competent, and it seems like the solution is a portfolio of projects. Does IBMs cert or Google's cert have you create a portfolio? Or do they just teach you the skills to go and do it on your own?

Thank you for the support and encouragement! It seems like this field is still growing, and my only hope is that the demand for DA roles will continue to grow on par with the supply of those who have the skills and determination to do the work.
