Data Nerds!! Are you a Google Data Analytics Certificate grad? 🙋🏼♂🙋🏿♀🙋🏽
i am considering an advanced certification for machine learning. Any advices?
Taking the class rn! Almost done with the 1st course of 7/8
@@bouseuxlatache4140 I was actually about to start looking into this for ML as I'm curious on this as well. Let me see what I find!
@@501sabu501 Sweet! Keep up the studies! 🙌🏼
What do you think is more in demand in companies R programming language or Python programming language and why?
I graduated first week of June and I got a job last week of June. I am a data analyst now and major part of how i made it happen is the Google data analytics cert. Take the course you will not regret it.
In only one month?
How did u do?
LinkedIn?
@@stephenslade659 I cleaned my CV, google will also teach you how to, send it to every data analyst job post. I aced the assessment test then got a call for an interview. I guess luck also played a role. hehe
How long did it took you to finish the course?
@@_thealexm_ 4 months, i made sure to study at least 3 hours in a day
@@maykrassabokalista salamat. Sino nga pla un crush mong bokalista? 😁
Working as dat analyst k n ngayon?
I was able to get a FAANG data analyst role around 1 month after completing the Google Data Analytics Certificate. I did not hold a data analyst position before starting this role. However, it is important to remember how much work still needs to be done after you complete this certificate.
So true, and congratulations on getting the role!! This is awesome to hear!!
How! I’ve been trying for months lol
that's amazing! I'm still doing it..started last week
@@soniathomass u can finish in 2 days
Can you tell about the procedure ?
Really love how you follow through on what happened after people take the certificate!!
Getting closer and closer to making a real documentary eventually 😜🙌🏼
@@LukeBarousse YAH PLS
@@TinaHuang1 @Luke Barousse Hey, I know u 2! Just finished watching your related videos.😀 And yes, I agree.
Interesting. He has both of your pictures in an album on the desk.you guys Dating ?
Having a certificate, having a portfolio is just pieces of the puzzle that combined makes the picture whole for the potential employers. All of those things add up, but individual are weak.
Very very true! Very much agree with this!
well put!
I just want to say that I LOVE videos like this which share the experience of "normal" people. Too many videos out there are interviews with FAANG (MANGA?) Data Scientists etc. and it gives a skewed perspective of the skills and experience required to break into the field and get your first job. The four people in this video are a great example of what you need to get started and their stories are very motivating and inspiring.
Grant, thanks so much for this! So many great opportunities out there in data science that I think people need to be exposed too! Thanks for following my channel!
Netflix lost it's prominence so it's now (MAGA) 😂
@@infini.tesimo I nvr considered Netflix as part of the alphabet group.😏
I don't have a Data Analytics Certificate but I do have the UX/UI Designer Professional Certificate and I'm working on the Google Digital Marketing Certificate now. Though I don't think I got my current job because of the certificate but when I earned the UX Designer certificate I kepted on creating projects using what I learned from the course. I think the courses teach you what you need to do and points you in the right direction but you ultimately need to continue doing the work from there.
I did the IT one and I was able to get a job as a DevOps Engineer, and I agree with you since this type of courses is just in introduction to what you can do. Really like your videos!
Thanks so much for this Andres!
did you have any previous IT experience? Devops doesn't seem like a role that you get cert and you're automatically hired. can you say more about how you got the position?
What do you do as a DevOps engineer? Interested in the Google IT certificate as well.
This makes me happy. I'm taking the course atm for the same career path. I'm also doing some cloud stuff and learning more in depth python because I feel like it will help.
Yes yes yes to highlighting project experience in addition to the certification! I always get questions on my livestreams about what certifications will land you a job. It is the learning and projects that build your credibility, not just the certification title
I'm really glad I found your channel and got to verify whether this certificate is good or not as I was confused at the start. I have started getting in touch with like minded people who have completed this course as well. Please make a similar video about IBM Data Analytics certificate as well...Super informative content. All the love from India!!!
I have a bachelor's in Information Systems and have worked in IT/Desktop Support for the past 18 years.
I'm working full-time and am currently on the fourth course in the Google Career Certificate in Data Analytics. I plan to finish in the next month or two. Next, I'm going to do some training and study for the Microsoft certification in Power BI.
Can't wait to make a career change!
I appreciate how the video is organized so well and the content in general! Thank you for this!
I’m really glad I came across this video. I’m now on course 4 and just needed that extra motivation to finish it. Thank you!
I just have to say I admire the technical skill of weaving together all of these interviews and the overarching narrative you provide through the video. Shout out to everyone involved on the production of this. 🏆
And personally thank you for the quality of substance too. You seem to organize and answer everything my brain starts to ask as I listen. Well done. 👍🏼
Jason, your comment made my day; Thanks for noticing the work that went into this!! Also super lucky to have been put in touch (and have the privilege to interview) with these individuals that completed the certificate! 🙌🏼
I have to agree the certificate is such a great start and lays a good foundation in the principles of data analysis. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Not to mention the tips on working in a team, building your resume and applying for a job. It's very well rounded.
Heck yeah, thanks for sharing this Cheryl!! Agree that it lays such a great foundation!
I am currently in process taking the certification courses. I am 5 courses in (three to go) and I was nervous that I was just wasting time and money taking these courses. I felt really afraid that I wasn't going to dig myself out of the customer service job hole. This gave me some good insight and I hope I can be as successful as these folks on your video thanks for the reassurance and I'm going to go finish this asap.
You're on the right track with this certificate! Keep up the hard work in your studies!!
On the same page too. I hold a master degree in international affairs and I speak 3 languages. I could not find a job. All jobs that I want to apply they required experience, how I will gain experience if no one gave me a chance, anyway I got stressed out, so I tried to change the field. Good luck to you!!
@@zinebjalal1628 Thanks for sharing this Zineb
I’m experiencing the same problem! I’m customer service rep. And I’m trying to get out of this job! I am at course 2 😌
@KT Alexander Hope this tutorial also helps you. These are 12 rules to succeed as a Data Analyst and I found these to be very helpful. Hope this tutorial also helps you: th-cam.com/video/hBTnGxCQnvw/w-d-xo.html
As always what an amazingly made video!!
What surprised me the most was even though none of us have had conversations in real life, our thought process and approach to everything related to learning and job search are so so similar!
Really loved the way you took our almost hour long conversation and condensed it in a way that I felt our whole conversation was in this video.
And finally congratulations my fellow interviewees for getting such amazing jobs!!
Thanks for this Anant!!
As I was making this video I thought the same thing as you! None of these individuals have talked to each other before, but they are all taking a very similar approach. OH and they were all successful in landing a job 🙌🏼
I can relate with how to build portfolios. When you accomplish small projects or initiatives are good starting points. Also, these small projects are used in real environments. On the right track!! I also love the idea that she offered her aervice to build a portfolio. Love this video!😀
Heck yeah, Suzannah offered such a unique perspective, loved her way of finding a portfolio project!
One of the things I don't hear a lot when talking about the Google Data Analytics Certificate is how the Certificate occasionally reminds you that it's preparing you for a Junior Data Analyst role. So I'd be interested to see if the experiences differ for applicants if they're applying for a Junior Position.
Interesting, all of these individuals here were looking to get Entry-level Data Analyst positions.
It's probably depends where you are located. I'm from small North EU country and Google doesn't mean absolutely nothing here. It's basically search Web page with bad reputation. Getting a job with or without is equal. We prefer self learning and skills what you can show over any education. You can be 15 without finishing primary school and get programmer job is you know what you are doing.
@@homeoffice3524 Yes I think you are right, however, be aware that most companies instantly neglects an interview with someone who doesn't have any kind of degree or certificate, especially if you are sending the request online. So that can make it a little harder to get it, but of course if you know what you are doing you will still be able.
@@homeoffice3524 it's interesting. from what exactly country are you?
Hey Luke!
Absolutely loved the video and perspectives that were given -- I just recently finished/obtained the GDAC and was working on different projects from Open Data Datasets and competitions like Kaggle before going on a job hunt myself. It is great to see the recommendations of building portfolios, showcasing skills, and continuing to learn even after earning a certificate from those breaking into the field and how the cert helped them!
Thank you for all your videos, they are incredibly helpful!
Heck yeah, thanks for this, Colton! Also congrats on finishing up the certificate; 🙌🏼 keep up the hard work on your projects!
Thanks for this video! I’m working on their newer certificates and the info about the portfolio in addition to the certificate is something that I’ve been thinking about. For anyone going the financial aid route, there are questions that Coursera asks about your situation and there was a two week waiting period, but I was approved!
Awesome to hear about the approval for financial aid! Congrats on this!
This has been really helpful... i'm currently on the 4th course of the certificate. I'll definitely need to learn python to increase those potential job opportunities. If i didn't watch this i would never know.
Woah really inspiring stories!! 😍 I'm always so amazed by the endless possibility to combine data analytics with so many different fields, like what the interviewees here have proved. Really cool!! Thanks so much for this video, Luke!! 🙌🏽
PS: My heart just dropped a little when Antonio said they shouldn't have used R in the certificate 🤯😢
Yes! So agree with this, so crazy how everyone came from different backgrounds and experiences to land their jobs.
And ha 😂 I had a feeling Antonio was going to do that 🤣 I still love R!
you can do it mate, keep going
I completed mine in One Month, Five days on whilst writing my MSc. Data Science Dissertation. This course has met my needs and broaden my horizon as someone coming from a non-tech background (BSc. Educational Psychology). I'm here to thank you because I heard about it here. I am confidence to securing a job after my MSc course becuase I am well equipped now. Thanks, Luke.
I'm taking it right now! It's pretty interesting so far. I'm also taking the ML one from Stanford. Hopefully it will allow me to find a good wfh data analyst/scientist job.
I gotta say I already have python and MATLAB experience
Heck yeah, keep up the hard work on the certificate Laia!
Thank you for this amazing video & to everyone who participated!
Thank you, Luke, for all you do for us!
I’m currently in an entry level data analytics position after being in management for many years. I’m taking the certificate to supplement my learning in my free time. I also use W3 schools. I wouldn’t say this will get you a job more than prior experience.
Good luck with the certificate, Jamie!
Thank you for sharing! I just finished the first 4 courses, and I have halfway to go. I would say that learning a coding language is not hard, but knowing the logic behind it and how to apply it in the project are really not simple. Actually, I learned how to think like a data analyst, and it helps me a lot in my daily tasks.
That's awesome to hear that you've learned so much in only the first half, you sound like you're going about your studies in the right way. Keep up the hard work, Yingjiao!
how long did it take u to finish the first 4 courses?
Did you get a job?
@@beza7419 I got the job while taking courses.
@@huyenabe8602 It took me 4 months as scheduled. I have a full-time job while taking classes. You can finish it in your own space.
Loved this video! I have beginner experience with Python and just enrolled in this Certificate. I was bummed to learn that they would be focusing on R but I still think it's worth it. If anything, I will enroll in an additional Python course to bolster those skills.
Another fantastic video! I’m going to start the cert soon and I’m excited and positive about the possibilities. Knowing it’s not enough, skills, projects will be key!
Thanks for this! Good luck with the cert!
What a great content Luke!!! I'm starting on my way to DA and almost every video es full of information!! Thanks!
It's true. I got a premium entry job at a bank as a data analyst and BI expert. pay is above the national median, they do a full course on training new recruits and it's in part because my boss values and recognizes coursera and the degrees as a valid source of learning.
This is awesome to hear, congrats on the job and thanks for sharing this perspective. We need more bosses like this in the world!
Thank you luke this video just came just in time especially I am kind trying to continue the certification
You got this, good luck finishing the certification!
@@LukeBarousse Thank you 🖤💪
Very insightful video. Thanks for what you do, Luke. I commenced already (at the end of February) and I'm steady making progress, I can't wait to start doing projects.
Heck yeah! Glad you're moving on to projects next; I think it's a great next step. 🙌🏼
I've been in the sea of videos regarding this certificate data analytics as a career, learning SQL etc and yours is the first video (so far) I watched to the very end. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful, Susan!! And thanks for staying to the end!
Luke! Transitioning from Machinist to (hopefully) a Data Analyst. Your content has been by far the most helpful. Thank you!
This is awesome to hear Wayne! Good luck with the transition!
I'm currently a business analyst with a bachelor's in business analytics. Currently undergoing Google data analytics cert bc it covers approaching /managing projects for analytics and dealing with stakeholders, etc..... I feel my degree has given me alot of technical experience bit none of the soft skills necessary to working projects and with people.... Google cert is really helping me with this
This is awesome to hear how you're using this in business analytics!
I really appreciate your insight and others on this certificate. At first I thought I was doing unnecessary studying on the side, but I am just adding on to the knowledge that I know now. I'm willing to learn it all just to get my foot in the door. Thank you!
Awesome to hear this; keep up the hard work with your studies!!
I am really greatful that i come across this video. It really helps me to stay motivated as i learned about combining data analytics with other sectors like engineering. I am a mechanical engineering student and looking forward to become a robotics engineer and it seem to me that data analytics is a good add on skill to learn. Thank you for creating such a good video.
Wow! Phenomenal video. Was researching this topic and this was extremely helpful!
Heck yeah, thanks so much Shane!!
I really like your videos and hope to be one day showcase in one of them.
I'm currently a warehouse associate with a very low income and I'm talking the Google IT certificate in order to land a better job, but now looking at your videos I can see pieces of the puzzle that I need to start putting together in order to feel my need for knowledge to be able to excel in this field
I hope we can get you in a future video as well! Keep up the hard work with the IT certificate!
Great video. Very informative. Thanks. Currently taking the course.
This video really helped me in my decision to complete the Data Analytics course. Thanks!!!
Yesterday I completed my first course of the 8 courses.Looking forward to other courses.
Thanks Luke, I got very inspired by watching your videos.❤️
Heck yeah! Glad this video could help inspire!! Good luck with the certificate
Hi that's good news how long did you take on the first course?
@@LukeBarousse ❤️❤️❤️
@@thulanidendere3986 I knew nothing about data analytics(absolutely nothing) so It took me almost 20 days to complete the first one.Second course has gone pretty much faster.Alongside,I'm learning python which is required in data science and analytics. So, summary is, as a slow learner I'm taking time as per required!
Is there any job guarntee after giving one year on this course?
I’m going through a massive career shift. Going from Education into the Data analytics field is a major change. I had a minor in Marketing and truly found all the mini projects throughout the courses the most enjoyable. Finding, analyzing, and fixing problems were arguably my most enjoyed moments. Thus, this made the most sense when I decided to shift careers. I’m still very nervous about this undertaking and it not working out when it’s all over.
I just finished Course 2 in less than a month and I’m hoping I’m not rushing it or making the wrong choice.
How's everything going? Did you finish? Did you find a job?
The comments on this being a good starting point is true for any type of online learning certificates etc in data analysis. I was lucky to be in an Excel analyst position when I was going through online courses, and was able to transition some of my excel workflows into R. From there I got a new job with programming and SQL as a requirement by talking about my experiences using R. For those that aren’t in a position like I was, just doing some individual projects like mentioned in the video is a great way to signal to employers that you can do the work. I did DataCamp, and I never once mentioned it in any of my interviews, people care about what you can do, and not how you learned it.
Am currently taking data science with python on data camp
You deserve more views! This video was very interesting, well organized and straight to the point. Loved it!
Aww thank you!!
Thanks to TH-cam for this video recommendation. I always wondered what it was like for peoole who had completed the program. Im about to begin the 8 course which is the capstone project. I think its a great starting point, but we have to keep developing our skills even after earning the cert to land a great job and have a shot at a successful career.
Very much agree with this and glad the TH-cam algorithm sent you here!
I've done some research and was initially scared of changing my career to a data analyst. After watching this video, I am heavily considering starting this course as Luke has done an excellent job with explanations and the idea of speaking with real life examples! I have a CSR (Customer Service Representative) background. I saw a few other comments from those with CSR backgrounds and if possible, I'd love to hear from others about their experience.
Once I start the course, I will be able to fully devote my time to studying. I will definitely be keeping everyone updated!
I'd focus on the course itself and not worry too much about dedicated supplemental materials. With that I'd get as much as possible out of the last module of building a project; this is key in showcasing experience
I really enjoy your videos because you not only look at data but also the personal experiences of data analysts out there
Aw thank you so much for noticing this!!
very well made Luke!!! thanks for making this video
Glad you liked it, Famela!!
I started my coursework Thursday and have been putting 5-6 hours every day and I should get to the last course in about two weeks if I keep it up. My goal is to finish it in 3 weeks so I can add more certificates to my resume and work on projects on the side. I am currently unemployed. I’ll be getting the coursera + subscription to get multiple certificates and project experience with the 3 month runway that I have.
Love hearing how you are working to achieve your learning goals in this 3 month period. This is awesome!! Good luck with your studies and don't neglect the projects!
I completed the Google Data Analytics certificate and after the I completed Modern Big Data Analysis with SQL by Cloudera . Now I started the UC Davis Tableau specialization.Really excited about Data Analytics.Hopefully I will be able to land a job one day.
Don't neglect that portfolio to showcase your experience and keep up the hard work!
Thanks Luke. I've been on the fence about this programme for a while.
WEll I hope this helped!
As someone, who is currently going through the course, I really appreciate this video and everyone's perspective and experiences. I'm excited to finish and meet my own problems too! xD
Heck yeah! Keep up the hard work on the certificate, Jeffrey!
IMPORTANT NOTE to anyone who's looking into starting this certificate - you DO NOT have to pay, you DO NOT have to apply for financial aid, instead, look for the AUDIT this course button (it will be small and hidden), this gives you access to the ENTIRE specialization for FREE! the difference? you can't submit the major tests (it will ask you to pay) but who cares, as you've seen from the video, the final 'stamp' of getting the certificate isn't important, auditing the course gives you access to all of the information: lecture videos, written, exercises, most quizzes.
Very true option to audit the course and get it for free!! Thanks for sharing this! 🙌🏼
through this option, we won't be able to get the certificate right?
I completed the GDAC and IBM(Python) certificates, as well as a 3rd from 365 data science, and still don't feel ready for a role. I am just now feeling like I can make it into the field with my newfound knowledge. I guess I am pretty risk-averse to trying to learn everything I can until I am comfortable applying. I'll get there though. My background is 5 years in the manufacturing field with a mechanical engineering degree as well.
Thanks for sharing this Leslie, from my perspective it seems like you have the basics down. I'd start moving into building a project to not only showcase experience but also help with building that confidence that you are on the right track. Keep up the hard work!
I actually started this course because of your videos/channel! Thank you so much!
Heck yeah! Awesome to hear that Joao, ope this course is going well for you!
Thanks a lot for this very informative video, Luke. I've been thinking about starting this course and attaining the certificate and after watching this video more of my questions have been answered..
So glad this could help answer your questions!
I mean it's a great introduction program, I'm halfway through it I also have a degree in communications and computer science from a top level university but I haven't started working yet. I've applied to a good amount of jobs maybe after I get this certificate I'll get more interviews. I think the coolest thing about the certificate is that the eighth class is in itself a project, projects are important for portfolios. I don't know I'm trying to get internships right now, I haven't had much luck hopefully when once I finish this I'll have more. I think my degree should help me
I think your degree will help in addition to this certificate. Keep up the hard work with the certificate! You got this!
Did you manage to land a job?
@@cabovalo honestly I'm in the last class right now I'm finishing the final project. The final project is quite a bit of work so I kind of took a break but I need to get back to it. After that final project then I'll be on the job board
@@LukeBarousse is there any way to get in contact with you
I've been 10 months in since my completion of the Data Analytics Certificate by Google, and I haven't gotten any offers yet. I've applied to over 1500 job applications nationwide and no luck. I've come close towards the final interviews, but ultimately no offers. It's been a tough ride so far.
You're making mistakes if you're telling the truth. Stop doing what isn't working and change strategies. Redo your resume and cover letter and speak with industry. Recruiters to get a contract to hire position if you're seriously having this much trouble
Thanks Luke, it’s because of you I opted for this. Completed 3/8 courses. Looking forward to gain knowledge and job out of it.
This is awesome to hear, Amulya! Keep up the hard work on the certificate!
Thank you for creating a real video about Google Career Certificates.
Thanks Nerd. I was taking the cert and then started my masters degree in CIS...so I had to put it aside. And now, after 1 year in CIS learning at a graduate level, and finding that I really love data analytics, SQL, database creation and admin, R, C#, Tableau, excel, building dashboards, telling the data story, and also organizing the data.. I still want to go back for that cert just for the extra learning and project building. ❤
Thanks for sharing this fellow nerd!
@Mrs. Joy These are 12 rules to succeed as a Data Analyst and I found these to be very helpful. Hope this tutorial also helps you: th-cam.com/video/hBTnGxCQnvw/w-d-xo.html
I think the best part of the GA certificate is that it's only $250, compared to thousands for $10K for a bootcamp. In my mind it provides the same benefits at a much lower cost. I wish I had this when I was getting starting!
Same here Jordan! Vice trying to search for all the training I needed; that was spread out all over.
Is it recognized?
@@lindalolly6318 yes!!
Thank you for making this video, this was very informative and helpful. I have been wanting to do data analytics and didnt know where and how to start but because I watched I know now, where should I step in first.
I’m currently enrolled in this course, I work as SAP Consultant but I find really interesting working with data, I don’t know where this will take me but I’m doing it just for fun.
I'm currently in the 1st year of my B. Tech, and the stuff i have learnt from these courses is probably way more important and interesting than my entire curriculum. Its not just about getting a job, the stuff you learn from these high quality courses (there are more so check them out too) will help you figure things out. IT is very overwhelming if you are passionate about working on a meaningful project, and even getting to know how basic things work is pretty euphoric. You won't get a job just by doing these, but these are helpful. I got a paid internship (Students in India usually do not get paid internships unless they are from the IITs, its really messed up, and only few students get internships in their 1st year) and the questions asked to me during my interview process were mostly based on my projects, and i could answer them so well only because i knew exactly what i was doing, and these courses played a huge part in this. 100/10 absolutely recommended. Another amazing thing is they usually do not have pre-requisites and if they do, they make it very clear so that students do not feel like they are not smart enough for these courses.
Thanks for sharing your experience with this Ankita!!!
Hi Ankita, I'm also from India. I'm looking forward to this course. I've done BSc Statistics and currently pursuing MSc Statistics. I don't know English that much. I want to be a data analyst. What advice will you give me? And one last question, Can I get a job in India as a data analyst? If yes then how. Please reply I'll be very thankful.
@@vg1021 Yes ofc you can get a job in India as a data analyst, but i would first ask you to look for related internships, as someone with MSc it will be necessary for you to have some experience. Tbh your English proficiency should not be an issue whatsoever, but maybe focus on that too because companies here might choose someone who is more fluent in English. Take as many courses as you can from coursera (related ones) and maybe also try getting a paid certification from Udacity, because people will generally take you more seriously if you have a profession certification that you paid for (as it would indicate you were serious about the course and not just browsing through the course content because it free). I personally do not know much about the field, so maybe try talking to people on LinkedIn who have a (suitable?) job description related to the domain you want to work in, and that way you will learn a lot about the field. All the best
@Ankita Thank you so much for the reply. I'll definitely get those certificates. About internship, in my university there is nothing like internship. I'll do it for free if I get a chance.😅
@@vg1021 do not do it for free, look for opportunities. I am one of only 6 students in my university doing an internship, so its not impossible, considering im not the brightest
All the people that I know that finished this certificate including myself have degrees. This by itself might not get you a job as a data analyst however this is a great start into the field. Even myself with a bachelors in applied mathematics from a top 10 public university plus this certificate and years of coding with Python,, was having problems finding work as a junior data analyst. It is very competitive since people with Masters degrees in a different field and people with job experience related to this field trying to transition to data analytics, are also applying to these jobs.
Thanks for sharing this perspective; It's a tough job market right now but it is good to hear that others are not alone in this!
I am busy now with this course. I am a Heavy-duty mechanic but I saw that this data analysis could be used in my field of work and how it could benefit a company I decided this is the best course to take while working because when I am done I can make project projections about the machines and how it can improve and where all the main problems are. Thanks to you Luke I saw that Google is giving me these opportunities.
Heck yeah! Keep up the hard work with the studies, you got this!
doing a video based on the best possible way to find a data analyst job by a data analyst is the most data analyst thing one could do. definitely applied everything you have learned in data analytics.
thank you for such a great content!
I def like to nerd out... 🤣
It’s true I’m almost done with it. It’ll teach you the skills but you have to put it together. You’ll almost 100% need a project and be able to explain it to the prospective employer. They want to know you can understand the work you’re doing to do the job.
Thanks for sharing and reaffriming this Christopher! This is great to hear of your progress!
Nobody will you offer you a Data Science job with a Coursera certificate. Statistics is the heart of Data Analysis.
If you dont have any major degree in Statistics please dont dream of being a REAL Data Scientist.
If you want to study this field properly, here is my recommendation.
Bachelor degree in Statistics.
Master degree in Data Science.
PhD in Deep Learning.
This was quite helpful. Thanks for creating this content.
Really good video! I think hearing from them after the certificates and how it helped was great.
Aw thanks for tuning in Cheryl!!
I completed it in two weeks, but I already knew most of the material, so just skipped most videos and took back-to-back tests. (Except for the R sections, which I didn't know and had to learn.) Just graduated from college in December and have only been job hunting for a month now, so time will tell if it was worth it.
Graduated college for data analyst or something else and do you mean from Google certifications or an actual college/university?
Great video Luke! Love the actual different real world scenarios. Thoughts about how the Google DA prof cert stacks up against CompTIA Data+? Any plans on making a video review on that CompTIA Data+ certification?
I've had a couple people ask about this now, I may have to do this!
I wanted to say I find a lot of value in all of your videos and your a great person I watch thank you for your help
I appreciate this!
I enrolled this week thanks to your videos
Hey Luke. I've got my Google DA certificate a couple weeks ago and I just want to make a point on the R vs. Python discussion. They both can do the same when it comes down to manage data. The main difference is how you have to write each of them. If you have never ever learned any programming language before, Python is intuitive to learn. This is equal to this. Do the following and a colon at the end while R is not like that. You assign with an arrow to either left or right, you have to put variables the other way around sometimes... it's a mess.
Now, if you come from a different language, you feel like you are learning to program all over again. You have to switch a lot of switches in your brain and that can really hurt your programming skills in the long run.
To put it more clearly, if you know all other modern programming languages in the world, you will find R very weird so no matter how good is it for data analysis, nobody should be using it for that. It hurts people. R is bad for humanity. Leave it just for weird people like statisticians.
Thanks for this perspective Cesar
Hey Cesar shall i enroll in this course? Ik python but am afraid of R and what u said is Makin Me more...
Can u please tell me what to do??
Or shall I learn all the other courses and for analysis use python?? Plz guide
Thank you so much for this video and all your very helpful research. In the interviews, they mentioned the Google Certificate Data Analytics course is a great place to start. What are great next steps for people after they finish the course? Additional courses that cover SQL/R/Python/Tableau?
Aw thanks so much for this!

@@LukeBarousse Awesome thanks! I greatly appreciate your channel and guidance!
Thanks for the video, Luke - this was helpful.
Glad it was helpful, Jared!
Best soft soft Introduction Ever!!
I am from Pakistan, having a Bachelor's degree in Pharmacy. Working full time in the relevant field. But making $ 200 a month as there is high inflation and low salaries. I started my research for career change and had been watching different videos. I had decided to be a data analyst and since then I am learning relevant things. I am on course 3 of Google data analytics certificate, have been exploring youtube for SQL so I know the basics and now learning the intermediate SQL skills.
I am not shy of working hard. I apply what I learn. I just wanted to ask. I do not have a relevant degree, if I learn these skills. Will I get a job in Data analytics?
If you develop and learn the required skills and are able to deliver small projects, you’ll definitely be employable in the field. All the best 👍
i just want ask are there enough jobs available in this field?
cause everyone is doing this cert
(can someone tell the condition of this field in India?)
Curious on this as well
Great content. Thanks for sharing actual real experiences of aspiring data analysts!
Aw heck yeah, thanks for watching!!
Thank you for this. Subscribed
Hey Luke, what's your thought on the LinkedIn data analytics certificate?
I see it has everything from spreadsheet, SQL, Python, R, Powerbi and Tableau
It potentially could be a good option, but I feel like this is a better start that provides a more holistic approach about the field of data analytics
@Miebaka Bipibama These are 12 rules to succeed as a Data Analyst and I found these to be very helpful. Hope this tutorial also helps you: th-cam.com/video/hBTnGxCQnvw/w-d-xo.html
I know 4 friends who get this certificate and still can't find a single job. this is so overrated.
😂
Sample too small to reject the Null hypothesis. 🤓
This guy gets paid for promoting you Coursera Courses. 😂🎉
This really helps. On to the point and clear explanation. Thank you much.
Heck yeah, glad this was helpful, Danny!
Best channel for whom who want tiny detail and genuine feedback and transparent kudos to you
I also took GOOGLE Analyst almost complete 4th course still working hard to complete it is very interesting
Awesome, keep up the hard work on the certificate!!
Thanks Luke for helping people like us who are learning Data Analytics... I am admiring you as my mentor... Lots of love from India❤️🇮🇳
Aw thanks so much for this Gautam; glad my videos help 💙
I am currently enrolled for this certificate! Highly appreciate your videos Luke!
Good luck with completing the certificate Msizi! You got this!
Great video, I feel like i´m taking too much time to finish mine, i´m starting course 5 now, 3 months in, but my plan is to finish the course by the end of this month and start the sql and python courses that i already have saved. But I plan to start doing more projects and looking for junior positions rigth after i finish the google certificate
Started this today - Wish me luck! Good luck to everyone starting their journey.
Good Luck Shaun, you got this!
Former Desktop support, now Technical Recruiter. Starting the Google DA cert as we speak, i'm considering a pivot into Data Analytics or programming (OR BOTH). Thanks Luke, love your channel bro.
My dude! Appreciate the kind words and support. Good luck with the Google cert!!
THANK YOU for this video man
Can I just say that I LOVEEEEEE the quality of this video and how detail oriented it was. If you pay attention you can see a picture of the TH-camr 'Alex the analyst' in the desk of the Data Scientist character.
Ha! Thanks for noticing these details!
Really informative and motivational. Keep doing more videos.
