- How to become a data analyst is a video that a lot of people requested me to create. So here is my journey of becoming a data analyst without a related degree, like computer science. I also share the data analysis skills and tools you need to get started as a data analyst. Furthermore I explain how to get a data analyst job by giving some Linkedin tips. And finally I also explain why I am quitting my job as a data analyst by the end of this year.

Data Analyst here - no degree. Came straight from the military with ZERO technical background. Learned everything online. For those looking to get into this career here’s a high level plan I used:
- Become an expert at Excel / Sheets and start learning to automate calculations and reports. Familiarize yourself with pivot tables as I find that a good transition to Tableau.
- Learn a BI Tool - Tableau is a good foundation
- Be proficient at SQL (Simple Joins, Subqueries and CREATE should suffice)
- Be proficient at Python (Know the Pandas and NumPy library inside and out but no need to memorize everything - documentation exist for a reason)
And finally most importantly - be able to tell a story with the data!
fcking legend. How did you land your first job without experience and a degree?
@@Stefanovic92 fortunately for me I live in the Silicon Valley and contract opportunities are in abundance. 3 contracts later and I finally shot for a FTE position and got it. I can 1000% confirm what you said about LinkedIn as well. A lot of opportunities out there and sometimes we just gotta treat them as OJT (On the job training) lol.
Respects to you to brotha - your story is quite amazing.
Inspiriing ive been in a hole lately when i see every job require a degree and stuff like that , so thank you so much you dont know how much it means to me right now .
Can u put me through
@@jaeb4743 i live in silicon valley too, what city? I live in Santa Clara and my parents work at Google, and they want to work as data analyst, do you think its worth ot?
My dude, love your story telling ability 🤙🏼 This is a must watch for any aspiring data analyst!
yea this was great
Agree!👍
Luke, I love the way you give props to other data analysts. It's healthy and lovely
Agreed. Your communication skills are top notch 👌
God damn! You "data nerds" are creating a Brotherhood or what? 👀
Keep it up!
I changed to Data Analysis from Chemistry just with a SQL course and a Python course. Then I just started doing interviews with startups until one gave me a chance. After 1.5 years at that startup I stated to get a lof of offers in LinkedIn so I moved to my current job.
I more than doubled my income in the last 2 years. With 2 years experience as a Data Analyst I am making more than double of what I was making with 7 years of experience in Research Chemistry.
Wow, coursera course?
@@Drummerkrislynmiller no, 2 courses of Udacity and one from Udemy. But I heard that courses in Coursera are very good too.
@@SantoRedentor Amazing, I will check it out, thank you
I m also Same from chemistry switching is planning
What a legend! Cheers for the honestly and transparency, very inspiring…

The backpacking in South East Asia story reminded me of that time when I was backpacking through western Europe and I was just outside Barcelona hiking in the foothills of Mount Tibidabo
Thank you! Liked and subscribed!
Honest and a fantastic video❣
Really, Good guideline towards to Data Science.
Thanks for the information. I would try break into that field.
Thank you for sharing your experience as a data analyst and I've been motivated by your words. I was applying for that position and eager to learn/curious on how it works. Though I don't have much that experience, hopefully my familiarization on the tools like excel and SQL would be my advantage. Wish me luck =)
I wish you luck brother
@@Stefanovic92 Thank you very much again! I've already subscribed to your channel and also looking forward on your videos.. =)
Have you build portfolio yet, mate?

@@Legin24
how's going on now,dude!?
Great video mate! I’ll be working on how i lose my Warzone mates in a new video, it will be soon as possible live on TH-cam. I quit my job to play Warzone but my ‘friends’ are gone so with this data that i’ve analysed i think i should be very lonely to play it by myself. I love your video and i wish you all of the best.
