========================
Hi, my name is Tina and I'm a data scientist at a FAANG company. I was pre-med studying pharmacology at the University of Toronto until I finally accepted that I would make a terrible doctor. I didn't know what to do with myself so I worked for a year as a research assistant for a bioinformatics lab where I learned how to code and became interested in data science. I then did a masters in computer science (MCIT) at the University of Pennsylvania before ending up at my current job in tech :)

Which one is your pick? Google or IBM data analytics certificate?
Google Data Analytics
I just enrolled in the Google's Data Analytics certificate :)
Desperately waiting for the Google Data analytics last two courses to be released in INDIA. Seems like their strategy to ensure that no one completes in it within the 7 day free trial period.
@@estebangodoy773 good luck
@abishek tiwari you bloody well wouldn't be able to finish it in 7 days. She said the course is around 260 hours long, there are only 140 hours in a week. Even if you dont sleep eat go to bathroom etc. You still wouldn't be able to finish it in 7 says
Whenever I see this lady, Suddenly I remember all my goals in life. LOL
Stfu
lmao same here...like!
Hahaha.... so apt!
and you goals are...
She does the same for me too! 🥰
OMG, my first time getting a shoutout from another TH-camr (and you pronounced my name correctly)!!! This is so awesome and made my day! I really enjoyed the video and how you took a different perspective to look at the two certificates. I also like how you provided a more in-depth perspective on the IBM cert and for those considering this option to not discredit it completely. Awesome work Tina, keep up the content!
Hi!!! Wow I’m glad to have had the honour! 🤩 your video’s awesome and I’ve watched a lot of your other ones too, which are also awesome! Keep up the great work!
@@TinaHuang1 Awe 🤗 thank you so much! I added a link to this video in my video so people can get a different perspective. #DidWeJustBecomeBestFriends
Awww thank you 😊 #yep!
@@TinaHuang1 & @Luke Barousse Awww This thread is so sweet. And thank you Tina, you are so helpful.
If I a degree on data science and analytics and I am familiar with python. so which one should I pick?
. The Best Choice?
STUDY BOTH OF THEM:
1st - the more structured IBM.
2nd - the more open Google one.
The best of both worlds make you an outstanding candidate as you show more skills and better attitude than anybody else.
Enjoy your new career!
Which one do you recommend for someone new , i already finished Google's project management so im leaning towards taking IBM to mix up my certification, on the other hand im familiar with Google's templates and editing...etc
Im confused now
@@mmmk1414 Take up the Python for everybody course first to learn the basics of Python then jump on the IBM certification. One step at a time.
That was my plan lol
Great video! I hope your channel gets big!
On the R vs Python debate: I personally prefer R for tidyverse/wrangling and stats, but Python for web-app interactions NLP, and computer vision. It's funny how our field has this ongoing debate.
R is really superior when it comes to stats! Don't even try to do time series in python. However, python is really the tool of choice for machine learning.
Particularly enjoyed the detailed comparison for the capstone and style of presentation part. Helpful. Thank you, Tina!
I just loooooove all of Tina's videos!!!!! Real high quality content
Your videos on this issue are very helpful. Thanks for taking the time to make & post them.
I selected IBM and have finished 7 courses (2 courses still studying). I chose IBM coz I think Excel is still important in many ordinary data analytics jobs. Besides, Python is so popular. So far still happy with IBM:)
This has been my rationale as well, as I'm in corporate and we're still heavily integrated in the Microsoft Stack in my country. Could you say if you've completed the certificate and, if so, how your career has been since?
How is it going so far then? (:
Same logic I applied but still confused b/w Google and IBM
Is it free?
@@okohmiracle1002 It’s not, you have to use coursera premium account and these are the prices:
40$ if you can complete the course in 1 month
78$ if you can complete the course in 3 months
117$ if you complete the course in 6 months.
Thanks for you review! I decided to do the Google certification and complement it with a Data Analyst with Python career track in Data Camp.
Super informative video with solid explanation and evidence-backed opinion. Love your videos!
you are really like a good instructor for my career goals, thanks tina for you precious time.
Thank you Tina Huang! You helped me to decide on the career focused option. I will supplement with courses I have learned / am learning on my own: MySQL, Excel, Python (including Panda, Matplotlib, and Numpy), Statistics, Tableau, Power-Bi, and SAS.
I'm inspired and motivated by your contents. Thank you a lot for that!
I have no idea how you ended up in my algorithm but I am grateful for it. Thank you :-).
Thanks for the video! I'm a course and a half into the Google program and I really like it. My background is in political science but I was just accepted into the data science and engineering masters program at Umaine! I chose Google for R because it's what we use most in social science research. I am hoping to integrate ML and big data to my quant research.
Thanks for your review Ms. Tina Huang! :) It's really helpful.
Great video, Tina, I think I'd go for the IBM one, I prefer the no-nonsense teaching style and also for Python. After all, we can always learn R (it's easier than Python) and do the Google's capstone at the end.
The teaching style section and capstone section of your video was very helpful to me. They really made your recommendation make a lot of sense. Your video is very helpful, thank you. Just some background: The reason I'm interested your video is because I'm an urban planner who is interested in integrating data analytics in my work. I have no background in data analytics, however some of the water resource engineers that I work with are starting to incorporate it into their work and have shown me how it has helped them.
I found your review very helpful. Thank you!!
Deep interpretation between both courses syllabus, specifically in the teaching aspect you're coverings all particles .
Good analytics and problem solving for every one need enrolling in this era
Another great video. THANK U SOOOO MUCH
Good analysis. I am working my way through the Google certificate because (ironically, even though Google offers more career development options) my goal isn't to become a data analyst. I'm just trying to fill in some holes in my knowledge/skill set so that I can do better at my current job, and my current company uses Tableau and BigQuery as the main tools in its data ecosystem. And, in a less directly job-related detail, I already know some basics of Python, but I've never worked with R, so I'm curious about it.
Thank you, thank you for your recommendations. I am currently on my 3rd course / 3rd month in the Google Data Analytics program.
Thank you so much! Pretty good explanation.
Very informative! Thank you so much!
Thank you! Started the Google certificate last week and learned about the IBM one from browsing Coursea. Was debating if I should continue or stop to explore the IBM one. Funny how this video was uploaded the day I started my first course lol
What is your learning pace 10hrs/week? Because i want to finish Google certification within 1 month 15 days,
So informative! I love all your videos, you've inspired me to consider data analysis instead of software engineering and I'm so much happier on the data analysis track :)
Thank you so much for your time and insight
It’s nice that I can see Google& IBM comparison video on TH-cam, although Ive enrolled for Google already.
Hi Tina, thx so much for your review. I helped me in my search with my data analytics learning processes. Again thx so much and looking forward to see your other tips and tricks. 🤗
It was a great help, I was bit confused which course to take for the past 10 days. Now I could decide 🙏😊
Thank you for your video, is a very good source of information to me.
Greetings from Colombia.
I'm an economist, with an MBA but I want to enter in the world of data science.
Very detailed and honest. Thank you for doing this video.
Very informative and right to the point! I'm currently on course 3 on the Google certificate program and plan to finish by mid summer! I am hoping that between my master's in exercise science, Udacity Data Analyst Nanodegree, Certification in Oracle Database 12c SQL and by completing the Google Data Analyst certificate I am hoping that I will be able to find a job that pays more than minimum wage.
How’s your journey so far man? Have you started applying for jobs yet? Is the udacity’s nano degree worth it?
@@ajp5961 up
With all of those credentials you really think you might not find a job that pays more than minimum wage? Come on. That’s melodramatic.
Informative video, thanks Tina!
Thanks for the informative video Tina. I'll go with the Google one, but I really wish they used Python instead of R. I've used R briefly, and it's good. However Python is just so much more versatile and common in the industry that I find it odd that Google opted for R. Other than that, the Google certification seems to check off all the boxes.
I also got this in mind 😇
I agree with you
If they used Excel and Python it would be the perfect course. Now I feel like I have to do both.
IBM has one that does use R now! IBM Data Analytics with Excel and R Professional Certificate The first three courses of both are the same but then the two certificates diverge and are basically same structure different language!
This was very very helpful, thank you!
Thanks a lot! Very useful and inspiring to me!
This is helpful. I'm a nurse who has a healthcare administrative background who used to consistently have to work with data & reports. I always wanted to become more versed in analytics so I'm likely to go with the Google certification.
Excellent video, thank you! I am beginning the google courses this week.
This was very helpful, thank you so much :)
IBM didn't "go ham on it!" I want to sync a lot of Google products so I'll be doing Google's program but your video was very detailed. Thanks. Also gonna go college style and take the project mgt and Data Analytics at the same time.
Nice video, thanks Tina :)
Thanks Soo much for this Clarity... it can get confusing between the two...thanks alot.
Just finished Google's first week of the course. So far pretty happy with my choice. I already have other Google certificates so I think it will look better on my CV
Good luck 💕

Great video, just the audio needs some improvements! I picked the Google certificate from Italy and it's great. Thank you for your video
Very insightful! Thank you!
This is the first time I watched your video and I really like it!! Thank you for sharing such an informative and organized review with us. After I watched this, I go to sign up for the Google Data Analytics course right away, and I find myself enjoyging it!! Just wanna let you know how much this video has helped me to start a little yet important step :) I sent an LinkedIn invitation to you, however I forgot to add my intro message... hope you don't mind and wish to connect with you. Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot for the overview. It was very well put together. I also want to point out about the Google one is that it is included in the Coursera plus subscription so that might be another plus if you plan on doing some other courses as well.
Ohh thanks for the tip!! ❤️
How do I connect google one to it
@@PrincessYonna1 you don't need to do anything. Coursera plus is a yearly/monthly subscription that allows you to do most coursera courses without having to pay for each one of them individually. So if you buy the subscription you can just sign up for the course anytime; it is self paced.
Great Video as always❤️
suggestion: maybe pin your discord link since it has many members taking the google analytics course and it can be helpful for others looking to join in and discuss stuff
Thanks Tina. I'm on the 5th course in the Google data analyst certificate. I believe it is 7 courses total plus a capstone project. The cool thing is they teach you about best practices in the data analysis process as well delving into SQL, Tableau, and R. I believe course 7 goes into R so I will see how it goes since I've never used R having mostly learned Python.
How did it go?
@@shivasuresh5957 for this reason, would you recommend IBM instead?
I feel y aon course 6 , how was R though ?
@@shivasuresh5957 yups lacks on technical level that's why got a lil bored in bw especially course 6 , though thanks for the overview will complete in two weeks max.
@@shivasuresh5957 welll on it then ! Lezgo (p.s views on capstone project )
This is so clear!
Thank you very much for it. Greetings from brazil. Despite english is not being my primary language, i'll do the google course.
Good job, Tina. I would suggest that a more suitable title is "What is the better certificate for data analysts" because you are comparing only two products/approaches. University degree and professional certificate programs also exist. Perhaps you can interview a person with the academic certificate for comparison. Love your videos!
Thank you so much! I decided on Google data analytics certificate and Udemy for python.
which course did you choose in udemy for python?
Hi! Thanks for the thorought analysis! Do you think any of these Coursera specializations may also be considered as first steps towards a career in Data Science? Thank you!
I just started the Google certificate yesterday! So far, I've spent about 2.5 hours in it and completed the Week 1 which is basically all intro. I do find it really interesting and I enjoy this style of learning. I really appreciate your video (and Luke's which I also watched) because it helps me know I made a good decision!
Wow. God bless. You kinda motivated me mate. Keep going
I have an doubt!!, What are the qualifications to apply this?? Because I don't know programing languages. So what should I do??
@@urs_vk It says you don't need any previous knowledge
if you don't mind me asking, how was it? Have you finished? I'm almost done with Course 1.
@@DaddyDobby1 how's ur course going?
Just finished the Google Data Analytics program. Was worth it for a beginner level, learned a lot, though until I started learning about Tableau I can't say I felt I was learning anyhing new. By the time I finished the Capstone project, everything was in place.
Thank you for this comment. I am a beginner, from the scratch and I want register for the Google certificate.
Hey Tina,
I finished this course in trail period and it was pretty basic course except R all are doable in one go and thanks for your suggestions 😊
Gonna do Google one over summer.
Your channel is very informative.......
Good stuff! I completed the Google UX Certificate . Google actually contacted me for a UX Writing position but after completing the first round of interviews they say I'm on "hold" until they hire more hiring managers. This has gone on for 3 months.
Is there any update from them ?
What's now??did you get hired through it??
Pls update
Thanks very informative THANK YOU!!
Thanks for the information pretty lady!😍😍
Excellent commentary.
Great video! It really helps me:)
Thank you very much that was helpful.
this video helped me take an informed decision. thank you. may u enjoy the youtube $$
Don't forget that you can do a one week trial for each to get a better feel of which one you would like.
Hi Tina, just chance upon your video on data analytics and it is my first time hearing about these two courses. For someone who just want to learn data analytics so as to apply in my current role (non-IT) and not really into changing fields (not at this moment), which would you recommend?
Currently doing the google one and it’s loooooooong but if your new to Data Analysis probably the more informative one!!
I feel like you can go with Google and take a udemy class on python too. Thank you for the video!
NIce! now lets get this bread
YES! That’s what I’m doing - wait for those Udemy sales though...they occur weekly or bi-weekly at this point where a $119 course will be $11.99
which course did you choose in udemy for python?
That's what I;m doing.
@@Mrpatrickh actually if you turn your computer to incognito or your tablet to private browsing the lower prices are already there.BUT, if you sign in under your same account, it will try and charge you full price. Just make a new email and enjoy😉
Thank you so much. it's very helpful. I am thinking about switching my career from mobile app development to data science. Regarding with courses, I think I am gonna go with IBM coz IBM uses python which becoming more popular these days and I am already familiar with it.
I am already a data analyst who uses Python regularly planning on going with Google. I have a few reasons. The biggest is I already know a lot of Python and good R resources are nowhere near as robust as Python, so getting R from Google sounds like a good idea. Second, Google's tools are more cloud-focused. Even if the tools are almost identical to, say, desktop applications, I think being conversant in tech that is based in the cloud is more relevant to today's (and tomorrow's) world. Third, name recognition--and I don't mean Google. BigQuery and Tableau, in my experience, are listed more frequently than their counterparts in the IBM class on job applications. If you pay the same for both classes, at the end of the day, your resume is going to have overlap with more job postings in this field if you have Google's tech stack over IBM's.
Bro, im starting to proceed in this field. Comfortable with excel and now quering with sql, planning on taking python next then visualise all with power BI and Tableau. Will this route be okay?
Heya!! Great content! I keep signposting your advice to my better half who just got her masters in Data Analysis here in the UK (she's American though - GA). I was just wondering, with the Google course, is there a job portal for people in the UK or is that just in the US? I really want to do the Google course myself and am British!
Mam super information.u too pls open the cou mam.we want knowledge and ideas more.
Content is great, I would strongly recommend you to get a good microphone and decrease the volume of the background music. :) Cheers!
I'm working my way through the Google certificate at the moment (on course 4). The lack of Excel and Python doesn't impact me as much since I've done several Excel courses on Coursera previously and am learning Python on the side.
thanks! I was thinking on doing the same :)
@@verosiilva Me too!:)
Same here, haha thanks! Your comment solidified my decision to go with Google Data Analytics since I am already learning Excel and Python on the side :)
I am interested in starting this, what source do you use to learn python and excel?
@@cubeified Hello. I have searched the depths of the internet for the best python resource and I recommend a channel called Corey Schafer or something like that.
He has a playlist that teaches you python (it's better if you know another programming language though) and another one about pandas. Highly recommended to say the least.
Can you please also make a video reviewing CFI's Business Intelligence and Data Analyst certificate?
thanks for this detailed review! i was going to choose IBM because of Python, but im going to start with google! thanks!
I just started IBM certification, I feel more confortable with python than R. And it’s going pretty well so far. Next, I want to do the certificate from Google but the machine learning’s one
I'm going to do the Goole cert. over the summer and supplement with IBMs Python, because Python course seems to be a little more prevalent.
I enrolled myself in the IBM course and I am on course 6. The Excel explanation was really good and I could learn from it. But Python and SQL are not well-explained. I know SQL well and hence could follow with it. The same goes with Python since I know logic mostly. But if you're a beginner, then do not go for this course. It is a slideshow with a voice speaking constantly. There is hardly any logical explanation in it.
This course also provides external labs to write your codes in and practice. In the beginning, everything worked fine but the skill labs are not working anymore. Since my validity ends tomorrow, I guess I will not be able to use it.
However, if you are an experienced person, then you can go for this course for a revision. I learned everything through youtube before heading for this course and that is why I could keep up with it. Python is not something that I am satisfied with.
I bought it only for Python but now I do not understand it in the course and will return back to TH-cam to continue it. I would rate it 2.5/5. I do not even want to complete it because I have no idea what the voice speaks. Terrible explanation.
i appreciate your feedback :)
Thank u so much for sharing ur experience! This helped me make a confident decision🙏
I'm sorry it didn't work for u though❤
I'd choose Google too. I took an IBM course on edX and their materials were messy and contained some mistakes.
just subscribed and i'm happy
Thank you, this was really helpful, I prefer the Google course but I wished they used Python instead of R.
Interestingly, this stuff can be leant without taking the certifications. But if you can go for it
I'm doing the google certificate and I'm halfway I love the detail of how they go into it.
It all comes down to the battle of the giants when it comes to visualization and languages. Google is moving hard into analytics, however, Power BI wins over Tableau when it comes to visualizing data. Also, a key factor is the language and in that battlefield definitely Python wins over R.
The same goes for sheets and Excel as most companies are using MS products that are already incorporated into 365. Why switch from Excel to Gsheets?
Career development is a great to have guide, but it must not be the focus of a technical certification. Great as an additional knowledge, however, it may be a same fit for all approach. So, at the end of the day it’s up to each person to work on finding opportunities.
All in all, IBM provides insights into using tools that are more relevant for analytics and that will truly give an edge to finding job opportunities.
Just finished the entire course. It was fantastic but not easy. It was definitely challenging. It's worth it.
Hi, congratulatation,
which one have you finished?
@ tina huang IBM as 3 data science certifications and you explain the difference
thanks
Hey Tina! Quick question here, the google analytics certificate, are all the lesson’s auditory? Specially the SQL and R programming. Are all the lessons following the same format of a person sitting and talking to you? Or do we get to see some text in front of us? I’m a visual learner and I really really struggle with auditory learning. Hope you respond!!
Hi, they have a FULL transcript right under all their videos so you can read/save for notes..et
Would love to see a video which differentiate different roles: Data Analysts vs Data Scientists vs Data Engineer vs Machine Learning Engineer etc. people use those terms interchangeably but there are still some big differences between those roles
You can refer these 2 channels

Krish naik
for more information.
Thank you for this information, Tina! Video was amazing
I did Google first now currently doing IBM and it makes so much sense for me. I would highly recommend that route since Google only teaches R, Tableau, and SQL while IBM has Python which is in demand.
Those are all very basic courses though. You can do them for the cert, it's free if you do it in 7 days. But then you need to learn advanced SQL and practice Tableau. That should be enough to land you an entry level job but if you want to learn Python, you should also take a more in depth course. The information from the IBM course won't be enough to pass a technical interview.
@@yarpenzigrin1893 thanks for the response pls do recommend more in-depth python and SQL courses. I regularly practice on data camp on my R and SQL.
I'm almost done with the IBM Data Science Certificate. Amazingly structured, goes into some deep-detailed Python & SQL/Db2 programming. The Watson Studio is awesome, when it comes to integrating with Notebooks, Github and data sources. So for the core skills, I would suggest the IBM one. Next, I'm thinking going for the IBM Data Engineering certificate, which goes into much more technical details on SQL. Some courses are common with the Data Science one, so it would take a relatively sort amount of time to complete once done with the first one.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks Tina. I breezed through the first 3 courses in this certificate and felt super confident I could nail this in a couple of months time. I must admit it got super hard from course 4 - Python for Data Science, AI & Development. The learning curve is exponential. Each of those 7-15 min videos took me 4-5 hours to complete with contact pauses-plays. The Python in this course is definitely not for beginners. I completed the 4th course just for the sake of it but I don't believe I have mastered any of the skills. Maybe I'm not cut out for this program and should start from ground zero like CompTia ITF+ or Google IT Support or Google Data Analytics. But data analysis/science is something I would wish to pursue
Don't give up on yourself! ITF and Google IT are also good foundational certifications as well. I was actually thinking about going for those two as we as the Microsoft Technology Associate certificate as well.
Good luck on your journey. I believe in you!
Were you doing the IBM or Google certificate?
@@Hjlkokkjgfddd4204 The IBM one
I’m at the start of the Google course and I think they are MAJORLY passing the time-to-complete. The video sections obviously have accurate times, but there are readings that are just two paragraphs of fairly straightforward information, marked as 10 or 20 minutes to complete. It’s wild that a written text that’s the same length as the 4-minute video transcript is being filled or quadrupled. Maybe this is only the case in the first (foundations) course, but it seems really disingenuous to prospective employers to have us market ourselves on a “290-hour certificate” that is maybe only half of that. I’m sticking with it because this is an additional skill set I want to potentially be able to work outside the US one day, otherwise I’d have dropped it.
