Omfg Luke! My current role is also coming to an end and I've been sort of been offered the option to join the data team. I'm just REALLY scared - hence the data analyst/science TH-cam rabbit hole I'm currently in. I'd be really appreciative of any advice you may have for me since I need to choose in the next week or so.
It sounds like you're interested in data science, why don't you take the offer and join the data team? If it's along your passions I don't see whats wrong with pursuing it!
@@LukeBarousse Hi Luke, I just wanted to say a quick THANK YOU! I decided to put my hand up for the data role. Not sure yet about whether there's a formal interview process but I'm going to try and upskill as much as I can in the mean time :)
@@LukeBarousse Hey Luke, so I just wanted to thank you again for all your incredible videos and just for being such a good human. I've moved into my data role and I am absolutely LOVING it! I'm busy working on the Udacity Business Analytics nanodegree but your channel has hands down been instrumental in getting me to where I am right now so thank you so so so much! 😁
@@MzVixen05 This is so awesome to hear and thank you so much for taking the time to come back to this comment and respond. I think it's so cool how your data role has worked out for you; obviously it's nothing short of you putting in the hard work! 🙌🏼 keep up the positive vibes!!
In order words: have a history of programming work, outside of certificates. Showing employers that you’ve created products with your own knowledge and sharing it with others rather than sitting through a programming course just for the certification.
@@LukeBarousse If I may offer a suggestion, IDK about others, but I would find it helpful to have even just an overview on the "how" aspect. What I mean is that even with as much training as I have, I look at even "basic" requests on freelance platforms and think, "I would have no idea where to start on this." Do be more specific, I just got my MTA's for SQL and Python, I completed IBM courses in Python for Data Science and Machine Learning with Python, and I'm wrapping up a Linkin Learning Pathway for Deep Learning. I pass the tests on the first go with higher than average test scores - so apparently I'm learning the material, but applying it escapes me so far. In the courses, it feels very spoonfed - "do this, now do that," or else, "here is the basic structure, now fill in the missing parameters." If your passion is teaching, _please_ consider this request! From my perspective, I'm still at a loss as to why all these different sources teach this way. I'm no educator by trade, but if it were me, I wouldn't even bother teaching someone something as basic as a print command until I first gave them a _reason_ to use it. IOW, "let's say you want to do *X* - how would we go about figuring out how to do *X* with deep learning (or whatever), *_and then_* how would we program that." Just a suggestion, though. Thank you for the information in the video, regardless

Also,how can i develop my skills in tensorflow,seaborn etc that are required to become a data scientist.
Hey my dude, it seems like you are on the correct path in your learning journey. As a data analysts, I may not be the best person to answer this as my route of learning tools for my job differ from that of a data anlaysts. I recommend you reach out to any of the other Data Scientist TH-camrs as they may be able to provide better guidance. Overall though, you have to put in the time and effort, there are a lot of different paid and unpaid courses out there that are good options. Good luck my dude!
My undergraduate degree is in engineering and I took some coding classes, but for my Masters I focused on business analytics, so that is where I started to pick up a lot of these things. Unfortunately I would say most of my data science skills were self-taught and my Masters just inspired me to branch out and learn it myself.

man whats a content rich video, the chill vibes and visuals were just at point! loved it , currently into procurement and supply chain but I wish to get into Data Science very soon
Hi it’s a great video, I hv a question: anyone can be a data analyst means someone wants to change the field from teaching to data analytics? Thanks in advance
I recently found out about your channel Luke and I do have to say that I truly love your work and your attitude!! So, I have a huge passion for History. Specifically antiquity/late antiquity and medieval periods. I recently started my journey in the world of data analytics. So I was wondering. Would I be able to combine these 2 (History and Analytics) to create a project in the future for my portfolio?
Love me some Kaggle to demonstrate skills; I use it in my most recent video to share a Python Notebook and to share data; so I think it's a great tool; especially for data scientists
Hi Luke could you please recommend me a book to learn Data Structure & Algorithm as am from a non technical background & a complete beginner in this field
Hey Luke, That thumbnail of your video did capture my attention. Can you pls suggest me site where I can get good and simple templates for my CV? Thank you🙏 P.s. - Your videos are really motivating...Love from India❤️
Awe thanks for the kind words Amar! I appreciate it. I don't have a recommended site for CV templates. I did include my CV template in the description. Also feel free to check out Tina Huang's channel, she has a few videos on CV's and resources on this!!
Hey wonderful data nerd and all his motivated followers, im a doctor preparing for the specialisation, and i love computer science and data, recently started learning for the google certificate, i wonder if there are any doctors hereor if you have some ideas for doctors who want to explore this field . THANK YOU 🙂 STAY SAFE & HEALTHY
@@LukeBarousse i guess im the only one here 😅, can you please give me some advices, what to do after getting the Google certificat, how to make an attractive portfolio?
Hey Luke! I want to be a data analyst as well but I don't have a work experience. What should I do? because most of the companies ask for a work experience. Which skills should I start learning now? Mention everything please
What can I do about job postings asking for "highest level of education" when I'm self taught and have graduated from an (unaccredited) online data science course? (Springboard data science career track) I have some college but no degree
That's a tough one. Obviously i'd recommend you be honest and capture your self-taught education in other parts of the form. IMHO if a company only wants to hire someone based on having a certain degree and not taking into account experience and portfolio, I don't think I would want to work for said-company.
@@LukeBarousse that's government jobs Africa. They only care about degrees (don't even care where the degrees were obtained from). Some unscruplous folks just go ahead and PURCHASE said degrees. Shady universities in this business abound here.
You mention about biology. And i have bachelor degree in biology. Is that good background for data science? I'm afraid that i get into wrong passion and force me to get another related degree with data analyst, like statistics degree. 🙏
Honestly, I just spit out the first topic that came to my head... haha. BUT data science can be applied in so many fields, that is the great thing about this topic. With a background in biology you are more familiar with this topic so it would be more of an ease for you to explore data in this field, vice someone like me that may have a data science background and no biology background.
Also, this is a good way to transition... Start doing data science work in biology.. then once you are familiar with data science you can then apply to other fields you are passionate about.
@@LukeBarousse ah I see. Thank you Luke. Here in my country, biology related field that needs a data science ia relatively a few. So i was afraid with my biology degree i can't take any job outside of biology. Haha Thank you so much, count me as +1 subs
I just completed the data science specialization of JHU on Coursera. The lecturers here highly recommended a Degree in Statistics as a prerequisite for a well-rounded data scientist. Having said that, domain expertise (such as biology in your case) is also a bonus. Therefore, I would advise you to start exploring biology stuff where data analysis and machine learning can be applied and start a statistics program if you have the required time and resources
Hello, I've been watching this youtube channel a lot and found it really helpful. If you don't mind me asking a simple question? Is it quite common to solve normal algorithm coding test (the one that for SWE for usual) for a DS interview? Thank you.
I'm a data analyst, so I'm not as familiar with DS interview questions for this. I recommend you check out Ken Jee and Tina Huang's channel as they have more content from a Data Scientist perspective
Very good question. I have multiple passions as well (and find myself wanting to do multiple projects because of this). I found that there isn't enough time in the day to accomplish all of these projects; so my recommendation is going with a passion/project that is most accomplishable. (or maybe consider combining passions in one project)
Yes, I was distracted by Ken Jee's phenomenal hair 😂I like the idea that I should inject my personality into my portfolio as a way to stand out from the crowd. Excellent video, Luke. Thank you for what you do in this platform!
Wait, you were running a data science TH-cam channel before you landed your first job as a data analyst. How long have you been posting videos on TH-cam before getting this job ? It is way more complex and time consuming than passing a certification. Also, if there is such high demand of data analysts, why one shall diferenciate from the "herd"? There is a job to carry out, just pick the first data analyst who seems to know what he is talking about.
I wouldn't neccessarily compare a certificate to posting on social media. Certificates are great for starting and learning what you need to know. From there when building your skills, thats when I would recommend posting your work to different social platforms (e.g., GitHub, Tableau Public, Medium... etc.). Regarding differentiating, although there is an increased demand, there is also an increased supply. This is just MY recommendation to stand out... you can do anything IMO that helps in this manner
Just a comment you are handsome, are you single? hahaha Just kidding ;D I love watching your vídeos, I am starting my career as a Data Analyst, planning to get Google Certificate and build a Portfolio too.
I am now graduating on economics in College but interested in data science. Should i take this course? Can i get Data analyst job with this Google certificate without having CS,IT, Math,Statistics Graduation.
I think a college degree is super valuable and that the certificate can help round of your skills to show that you can perform data analytics. There are a lot of success stories with the Google certificates that show you can get a job with these certificates. I think combining your degree and the cert may be an excellent opportunity to land this job, but will ultimately be up to your future employer. Have you started to reach out to employers to ask this question?
I'm studying to be a recruiter in Data & Analytics for the Financial Industry. Thank you for sharing this, this will give me more input to understand my candidates better.
Thanks for the great content! Random question, do you generally stand or sit at your desk? I've noticed some other TH-camrs that also appear to be using standing desks. I'm assuming this is a thing for health reasons and maybe also focus, but might warrant a video re productivity / focus / efficiency. Thanks!
A combination actually. 1) Health reasons - generally I find that this is better than sitting and slouching all day 2) Energy levels - I feel I have higher energy levels when I work as I stand and don't tire as easily Highly recommend trying it out!
What are the implications of doing Analytics projects that are not aligned with the overall objectives of an organization? This is a question I that failed to answer base on peer assessment score. So I would like to know the correct answer as I'm having hard time to answer understand english. Thanks
Hi Luke, how about people who want to shift their career into data analyst? learn from zero about that tools, like me I'm taking a data analyst online course from Google and another course. Which method is preferable for me to get a new job as a data analyst. Thank You
Hey Vermona, I think you're on the right route with the Google Data analytics certificate. I would start there and then start building your portfolio. There is no "preferred" method per se, just hard work and determination!
My background is accounting, can I using finance related field to make a project? I already have a plan for that just need lot of skills in programming to build
operations research is a very different role than a data analyst. All OR analysts are qualified to be a Data Analyst, not all Data Analysts are qualified to be an OR analyst. The key difference is fundamental skill in... Operations Research.
For portfolio projects you'll need to collect your own data. When working for an employer they may provide you with data or you may be tasked with finding it yourself
I'm doing my master's in web and data science in a German public university. I'm a fresher who came out of bachelor's program in computer science. Please make a video on the potential of master's degree in Data Science.
I have a few videos on the beginning stages of a project, in a series on my home page… unfortunately I still haven’t finished that project… hopefully I get to it this year!
@@LukeBarousse thank you for such amazing videos. Thanks to one of them I made the decision to start studying data analytics with google and can say so far is giving me a lot of information. Thank you!
Hello Luke and thanks for all this information that you sharing with us! I have a book about fitness training, not published yet, and I would like to know if you think will be a good idea to implement that as a project into portofilio. Thank you!
Yeah! I wouldn't discount it at all as it shows others you have a committment to finishing a project (I.e. finishing the book) and that you value communication (I.e. written skills). I think it's a great addition.
I think it depends on the role. I could see an engineer being needed by various engineering based companies that need expertise in data analysis. This would be a great way to apply your engineering in the realm of data analysis.
Hi Luke. I am a data scientist aspirant. I am facing problems while performing EDA. Particularly, I am getting overwhelmed by the large number of options available for EDA. Can you suggest some tips regarding this?
They have soooo many options, I feel your pain. Honestly, the easiest way is pick one and go (whether it's a BI tool like tableau or coding tool like python). Stick with this one tool and then once you feel familiar expand from there.
Hi bro I like how your liking all comments D: Can you tell me what is the definition of data analyst and what is function of data analyst who works for a company in simple words please 🙃
Hey my dude, I think a simple sentence on this is that a data analyst takes data and then develops insights from this data. Check out my day in the life video where I show what I do on a daily basis th-cam.com/video/GmTD-MBea_E/w-d-xo.html
Hi Luke, thank you very much for your videos, just came across a few! I have an idea for a pretty cool community project (interactive dashboard analyzing past trends and forecast) that might get shared and used by different groups, like cities / state as well as individuals. What platform/setup/license would you recommend? I'm expert level in Power BI for my line of work, but I'd prefer to stay on Mac and I wonder if I should switch to Tableau. Do you know which platform is more widely adopted for community projects that might be shared and used and have opportunity to become popular (I know wishful thinking but why not to dream big? :)) ? Thank you!
or if I need to rephrase in a more concise form. - which platform/licensing setup do you recommend for analytical portfolio to present to others which might get some attention?
For sharing dashboards with the public, I think Tableau is better than Power BI at this. Other option to consider for a simpler dashboard is Google Data Studio
Omfg Luke! My current role is also coming to an end and I've been sort of been offered the option to join the data team. I'm just REALLY scared - hence the data analyst/science TH-cam rabbit hole I'm currently in.

Could you please share an example of a project an aspiring data analyst could start to do.
Thanks
check out my channel as I have a few examples. Here is my most recent one:
th-cam.com/video/DNJfUPfSZpY/w-d-xo.html
Can you make one vdo about "How can i become data analyst with non tech background education"?
Yeah, let me see what I can do! I do find that there are MANY people with non-tech backgrounds that have success in transitioning into this field
@@LukeBarousse thank you so much luke.. You'll helps mee alot by making this vdo
@@shubhamchakrawarty9435 Aw thanks for this!!
Hi Luke! I am so excited to share that I completed Google data analytics certificate! It’s a great course and I am about to learn Python with IBM Data analyst certificate. I started Google data analytics certificate after reviewing your TH-cam video so I really feel thankful for your videos!
Heck yeah!! Congrats on this achievement Quy! This is awesome to hear!
I have very good programming and logical skills but trying so hard to get in to Data Analytics Data science role but still not able to get in to it please give some suggestion getting so much demotivated
Thank you Luke! I didn't think of putting certifications and education up top since I've been working as a tax and accounting analyst for 8+years now. I'm going to reformat my resume so it catches the eyes of recruiters better.
He's videos are epitome of short and crisp and full of content on point
Awe thanks for the kind words Subhajeet!! I truly appreciate this!
Congrats on your new job and thanks to your TH-cam channel that I have recently started my new job in Data Science industry. Keep on your good work Luke 🎉
awe thanks so much for this Dung! Appreciate the kind words!
Superb advice for those of us lacking professional xp in data analytics
Thanks Milos!! I appreciate this!!
Wish I had seen this video 2-4 years ago lol.
Master's deg in CS here who's having trouble getting a data science or ML job
It's never too late! Keep up the hard work my dude!
With master cs you get easily 120k-140k job in web dev. Lots of work available.
Go for it.
@@jw200
When you say 120-140k I'm assuming you mean in a city?
Also, I actually do have interest in web dev myself since in my ML projects I deploy them using Django, and the Django restframework, I really love it. I think I might work towards it!
What projects would you recommend be on my resume to land a interview?
Bro your a mechanical engineer major? Please do a video explaining why you’ve decided to become data analyst instead of mechanical engineer
hmmm okay let me see what I can do... this is actually a good point as I've had a few people ask me about my journey into data science. I like this idea tho so stay tuned!! Thanks my dude!
Kaggle+Python+SQL
🙌🏼
And Apache Supersets... 🥺😅
Sir I have a doubt,can we make into data scientist transission after getting a job as a data analyst ......
That's what I'm hoping to do
Yeah. Ken Jee has a video on this I recommend you check that out:
th-cam.com/video/EMq4PH7PCeA/w-d-xo.html
@@LukeBarousse thanks man
man whats a content rich video, the chill vibes and visuals were just at point! loved it , currently into procurement and supply chain but I wish to get into Data Science very soon
Awe dude thanks for the kind words on my video! I put a lot of time into crafting it so I really appreciate it!
Hi it’s a great video, I hv a question: anyone can be a data analyst means someone wants to change the field from teaching to data analytics? Thanks in advance
Yeah, I think so!
I recently found out about your channel Luke and I do have to say that I truly love your work and your attitude!!
So, I have a huge passion for History. Specifically antiquity/late antiquity and medieval periods. I recently started my journey in the world of data analytics. So I was wondering. Would I be able to combine these 2 (History and Analytics) to create a project in the future for my portfolio?
I feel you can, just will take some work
Thank you for sharing! Any opinion about Kaggle to showcase data skills?
Love me some Kaggle to demonstrate skills; I use it in my most recent video to share a Python Notebook and to share data; so I think it's a great tool; especially for data scientists
Great tips. TBH I was hoping to see the actual resumé shown on the thumbnail :-)
Link in the description to see the actual resume
@@LukeBarousse Thanks!
Hi Luke could you please recommend me a book to learn Data Structure & Algorithm as am from a non technical background & a complete beginner in this field
Hey Luke,
That thumbnail of your video did capture my attention. Can you pls suggest me site where I can get good and simple templates for my CV? Thank you🙏
P.s. - Your videos are really motivating...Love from India❤️
Awe thanks for the kind words Amar! I appreciate it. I don't have a recommended site for CV templates. I did include my CV template in the description. Also feel free to check out Tina Huang's channel, she has a few videos on CV's and resources on this!!
Hey wonderful data nerd and all his motivated followers, im a doctor preparing for the specialisation, and i love computer science and data, recently started learning for the google certificate, i wonder if there are any doctors hereor if you have some ideas for doctors who want to explore this field . THANK YOU 🙂 STAY SAFE & HEALTHY
Hope we find some doctors in the comment section here!
@@LukeBarousse i guess im the only one here 😅, can you please give me some advices, what to do after getting the Google certificat, how to make an attractive portfolio?
Health Data!
This guy pronounces data like data so he can't be trusted...
Da-ta!
Why was your previous role coming to an end? Why did you get let go?
My time with that project was up... it was just time to transition. The transition was within my company, so I wasn't let go, per se.
The dude's got a man-crush FOSHO!!! HAHAHA
That I do!
why panda 🐼 pic near display, visual garbage or pypandas reminda
Py Pandas for the win!
Another idea to showcase your work can be your own website
Very much agree with this!!
Hey Luke! I want to be a data analyst as well but I don't have a work experience. What should I do? because most of the companies ask for a work experience. Which skills should I start learning now? Mention everything please
Take a look at this video:
th-cam.com/video/fmLPS6FBbac/w-d-xo.html
Hi i am from India, i am a undergraduate,(2006), but i want become a data scientist. Can you please suggest me is it possible.
Heck yeah it is possible. Check out some of my channel's videos to learn more about how I became a data analyst!
@@LukeBarousse thank you,
What can I do about job postings asking for "highest level of education" when I'm self taught and have graduated from an (unaccredited) online data science course? (Springboard data science career track)
I have some college but no degree
That's a tough one. Obviously i'd recommend you be honest and capture your self-taught education in other parts of the form. IMHO if a company only wants to hire someone based on having a certain degree and not taking into account experience and portfolio, I don't think I would want to work for said-company.
@@LukeBarousse that's government jobs Africa. They only care about degrees (don't even care where the degrees were obtained from). Some unscruplous folks just go ahead and PURCHASE said degrees. Shady universities in this business abound here.
In other words if you're not already a developer: don't.
Not at all! Being a developer is def not a prerequisite
One industrial engineer can work of Data analyst?
Yeah i'm a former mechanical engineer!
You mention about biology. And i have bachelor degree in biology. Is that good background for data science? I'm afraid that i get into wrong passion and force me to get another related degree with data analyst, like statistics degree. 🙏
Honestly, I just spit out the first topic that came to my head... haha. BUT data science can be applied in so many fields, that is the great thing about this topic. With a background in biology you are more familiar with this topic so it would be more of an ease for you to explore data in this field, vice someone like me that may have a data science background and no biology background.
Also, this is a good way to transition... Start doing data science work in biology.. then once you are familiar with data science you can then apply to other fields you are passionate about.
@@LukeBarousse ah I see. Thank you Luke.
Here in my country, biology related field that needs a data science ia relatively a few. So i was afraid with my biology degree i can't take any job outside of biology. Haha
Thank you so much, count me as +1 subs
@@naim1029 Thanks for the sub! Appreciate the support!
I just completed the data science specialization of JHU on Coursera. The lecturers here highly recommended a Degree in Statistics as a prerequisite for a well-rounded data scientist. Having said that, domain expertise (such as biology in your case) is also a bonus. Therefore, I would advise you to start exploring biology stuff where data analysis and machine learning can be applied and start a statistics program if you have the required time and resources
Hello, I've been watching this youtube channel a lot and found it really helpful. If you don't mind me asking a simple question? Is it quite common to solve normal algorithm coding test (the one that for SWE for usual) for a DS interview? Thank you.
I'm a data analyst, so I'm not as familiar with DS interview questions for this. I recommend you check out Ken Jee and Tina Huang's channel as they have more content from a Data Scientist perspective
All true data analysts should have pandas as inside, as well as outside of their computers
4:33 there he said it.
Don’t stop creating content Luke!!
ha!! Thanks Ife, we gotta keep this content creation up my dude!! 🤙🏼
And those who have multiple passions?
Very good question. I have multiple passions as well (and find myself wanting to do multiple projects because of this). I found that there isn't enough time in the day to accomplish all of these projects; so my recommendation is going with a passion/project that is most accomplishable. (or maybe consider combining passions in one project)
Yes, I was distracted by Ken Jee's phenomenal hair 😂I like the idea that I should inject my personality into my portfolio as a way to stand out from the crowd. Excellent video, Luke. Thank you for what you do in this platform!
Aw thanks so much for this Zoey, completely agree with this approach of injecting your personality!
I am a Data Analyst in a beverage company.
Want to ask about MacBook Air M1. Is this a good choice for our job
It's my computer of choice. I have plenty of videos on my channel that detail this, but check this one out: th-cam.com/video/YZkcEtWgMGw/w-d-xo.html
Wait, you were running a data science TH-cam channel before you landed your first job as a data analyst. How long have you been posting videos on TH-cam before getting this job ? It is way more complex and time consuming than passing a certification.
Also, if there is such high demand of data analysts, why one shall diferenciate from the "herd"? There is a job to carry out, just pick the first data analyst who seems to know what he is talking about.
I wouldn't neccessarily compare a certificate to posting on social media. Certificates are great for starting and learning what you need to know. From there when building your skills, thats when I would recommend posting your work to different social platforms (e.g., GitHub, Tableau Public, Medium... etc.). Regarding differentiating, although there is an increased demand, there is also an increased supply. This is just MY recommendation to stand out... you can do anything IMO that helps in this manner
Just a comment you are handsome, are you single? hahaha Just kidding ;D I love watching your vídeos, I am starting my career as a Data Analyst, planning to get Google Certificate and build a Portfolio too.
Good luck in your data science journey my dude! And thanks for the laugh!
Today, I start my DA learning and switching from UX to DA journey. I will update here in 3 months. Thanks for video!
Best of luck! And looking forward to hearing about your progress
I am now graduating on economics in College but interested in data science. Should i take this course? Can i get Data analyst job with this Google certificate without having CS,IT, Math,Statistics Graduation.
I think a college degree is super valuable and that the certificate can help round of your skills to show that you can perform data analytics. There are a lot of success stories with the Google certificates that show you can get a job with these certificates. I think combining your degree and the cert may be an excellent opportunity to land this job, but will ultimately be up to your future employer. Have you started to reach out to employers to ask this question?
I'm studying to be a recruiter in Data & Analytics for the Financial Industry. Thank you for sharing this, this will give me more input to understand my candidates better.
Oh heck yeah, awesome to hear that you'll be using it for recruiting! Good luck with thhis!
Can I add the EDA by pyhton , I am learning in the resume? or should I mention the projects by taking new datasets from kaggle.
Yeah you can add certificates to your resume, but I strongly recommend including portfolio projects instead!
Thanks for the great content!
Random question, do you generally stand or sit at your desk?
I've noticed some other TH-camrs that also appear to be using standing desks.
I'm assuming this is a thing for health reasons and maybe also focus, but might warrant a video re productivity / focus / efficiency. Thanks!
A combination actually.
1) Health reasons - generally I find that this is better than sitting and slouching all day
2) Energy levels - I feel I have higher energy levels when I work as I stand and don't tire as easily
Highly recommend trying it out!
What are the implications of doing Analytics projects that are not aligned with the overall objectives of an organization?
This is a question I that failed to answer base on peer assessment score. So I would like to know the correct answer as I'm having hard time to answer understand english. Thanks
This is a great question!
Hi Luke, how about people who want to shift their career into data analyst? learn from zero about that tools, like me I'm taking a data analyst online course from Google and another course. Which method is preferable for me to get a new job as a data analyst. Thank You
Hey Vermona, I think you're on the right route with the Google Data analytics certificate. I would start there and then start building your portfolio. There is no "preferred" method per se, just hard work and determination!
My background is accounting, can I using finance related field to make a project? I already have a plan for that just need lot of skills in programming to build
Yes you can! I worked in controlling for a bit and we used data analytics to build projects all the time
operations research is a very different role than a data analyst. All OR analysts are qualified to be a Data Analyst, not all Data Analysts are qualified to be an OR analyst. The key difference is fundamental skill in... Operations Research.
Thanks for sharing this!
@LukeBArousse : I am planing to make an analysis on a topic. But, if I don't get any data, do I have collect the data on my own?
For portfolio projects you'll need to collect your own data. When working for an employer they may provide you with data or you may be tasked with finding it yourself
all I heard was,differentiate"
😜
Очень круто, ты мне очень помог, спасибо.
🤙🏼
I recently discovered Lukes youtube channel and I am binge watching. Thanks Luke, I am learning and I am very attentive👍
🙌🏼
Hi Luke I was wondering if I could use the projects I did in school and list that on my resume?
Yeah, most definitely, I still have some of my school projects on my resume.
I'm doing my master's in web and data science in a German public university. I'm a fresher who came out of bachelor's program in computer science. Please make a video on the potential of master's degree in Data Science.
I like this idea, let me see what I can do!
Great video as always keep up with the good work.
shout from Brazil!
Thanks for the kind words my dude!
eae porra, que raridade
which University best for data analyst in India.
please may you telll SIR ,i m in classs 12
willl it be a good career 🙏🙏🙏🙏plzzzz help me SIR!!!!!
Hi Tanya, i'm actually not to sure on this one, let me see if I can do with future content on this topic.
Hey Luke do you have videos showing each step you took to complete a case study/ Project?
I have a few videos on the beginning stages of a project, in a series on my home page… unfortunately I still haven’t finished that project… hopefully I get to it this year!
Well, both of you guys have great hair!!!
😂 Awe thank you Melody!!!
@@LukeBarousse thank you for such amazing videos. Thanks to one of them I made the decision to start studying data analytics with google and can say so far is giving me a lot of information. Thank you!
Hello Luke and thanks for all this information that you sharing with us!
I have a book about fitness training, not published yet, and I would like to know if you think will be a good idea to implement that as a project into portofilio.
Thank you!
Yeah! I wouldn't discount it at all as it shows others you have a committment to finishing a project (I.e. finishing the book) and that you value communication (I.e. written skills). I think it's a great addition.
hey
🤙🏼
I’m studying Engineering, what are the chance of getting accepted to a data analysis internship with no experience? Thank you
I think it depends on the role. I could see an engineer being needed by various engineering based companies that need expertise in data analysis. This would be a great way to apply your engineering in the realm of data analysis.
Hi Luke. I am a data scientist aspirant. I am facing problems while performing EDA. Particularly, I am getting overwhelmed by the large number of options available for EDA. Can you suggest some tips regarding this?
They have soooo many options, I feel your pain. Honestly, the easiest way is pick one and go (whether it's a BI tool like tableau or coding tool like python). Stick with this one tool and then once you feel familiar expand from there.
Hotty Toddy! Go Rebs !!
HYDR!
Hi bro I like how your liking all comments D:
Can you tell me what is the definition of data analyst and what is function of data analyst who works for a company in simple words please 🙃
Hey my dude, I think a simple sentence on this is that a data analyst takes data and then develops insights from this data. Check out my day in the life video where I show what I do on a daily basis

The university qualification probably helps to
Yeah it does!
Hi Luke, thank you very much for your videos, just came across a few! I have an idea for a pretty cool community project (interactive dashboard analyzing past trends and forecast) that might get shared and used by different groups, like cities / state as well as individuals. What platform/setup/license would you recommend? I'm expert level in Power BI for my line of work, but I'd prefer to stay on Mac and I wonder if I should switch to Tableau. Do you know which platform is more widely adopted for community projects that might be shared and used and have opportunity to become popular (I know wishful thinking but why not to dream big? :)) ? Thank you!
or if I need to rephrase in a more concise form. - which platform/licensing setup do you recommend for analytical portfolio to present to others which might get some attention?
For sharing dashboards with the public, I think Tableau is better than Power BI at this. Other option to consider for a simpler dashboard is Google Data Studio
@@LukeBarousse Thank you very much for confirming! I was leaning to the same conclusion after some preliminary research as well!
