Thanks so much for the thoughtful comments! Feel free to connect with me on 📷instagram: instagram.com/agathaakang/ and through my 📬newsletter: agathakang.com/subscribe (free resume template in link)
Honestly, managing other people's unrealistic expectations and lack of direct clarity in their communication (often not even knowing what they themselves want) and presenting layered and complex patterns and hypotheticals as simple, "user-friendly" concepts is already my full-time job as an autistic person just living in society, so tbh I feel like I'm built for this. 😅
I like how you thought about this in a positive manner. Personally, I took it negatively at first, because I'm terrible when it comes to social situations or presenting my ideas, so I thought I wouldn't be fit to be a data scientist/analyst. Your comment showed me a new perspective. Thanks!
Agatha, thank you for your videos and the time you put on them. As someone who is currently working on changing careers you paint a pretty good picture of what to expect. Would love to see a video about ways in which you have improved your soft skills.
I similarly have 10 years as an analyst and now Business Intelligence Manager -- I found this incredibly helpful in articulating what I do. I've always struggled with my elevator pitch, "What do you do?". Thanks for the assist!
I'm a data analysis and just making 60k and my work has me on 6 different projects. I rarely have any energy left at the end of the day. Not all employers are made equal...
Can you be my mentor please, I just got into studying data analyst, currently learning excel and SQL. I would appreciate a mentor to guide me and give me various tips and help, I can also help with doing some of the little task if you have any for me. I would really appreciate the knowledge and impact
I’m an aspiring data analyst currently learning skills and this video was incredible! You have cleared up all my doubts about the work a data analyst does 😊
hi Agatha, nice content, I'm also a Data Analyst from Indonesia and what you tell in this video is very similar with my work, thankyou for sharing this 👍
Thanks for the video. I'm 38 just finished Google data analytics certificate. I was thinking of taking the more advanced courses but after watching your video I believe it isn't worth it and I should go down another road. Thank you so much! I feel like you saved me a lot of time.
@@BlaqueKottoncareer path. I'm going to take project management course then take it from there. I feel like perscholas is more practical for someone my age. If I was in my 20s I'd be all over the data analyst course, but at 38, it just feels like it would take too long to get a good job in that field.
Having jumped into learn data analysis to change careers I have noticed something. Learning the tools is fine. Understanding the hypothesis or problem question makes sense. Maybe you've done it already, but I haven't really seen anyone make a portfolio project showing a problem, and how their dashboards solves it. I think it's hard when practicing with kaggle data to find a problem and solve it. When learning I practiced the usual orders customers shipping type queries, but they never really explain what they would do in the office with the results. Maybe those get emailed in a report? I don't really know. I finally get that they are practicing with 20 lines to teach us the basics, when in reality it might be 100,000 rows. Thank you for your videos, honest insight, and resume template. I really appreciate your work!!!
Hey this is really good feedback! I tried to incorporate it in this video with how a dashboard solves a problem and how it is used by the company: th-cam.com/video/QHYUUBawrnc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=xgXK0aA0KFjvZ0ky I hope it helps!
Thank you for this video! I am on the path of becoming a data professional. My goal is to switch over from tech support specialist roles! Your videos help me gauge how to further my growth and development. I love the part where you including design documentation. Thank you again!
Thanks for this video. I’m currently a Revenue Cycle analyst and want to transition into a healthcare or data analyst. But you’re right, the work life balance is the best part plus a good income.
I love that you posted this 4 days ago as I have recently caught an interest in becoming a data analyst. Definitely gonna research a lot and study some basics before I go to school for it. Thank you for this!
Hi Agatha, can you put together a video that explains the knowledge a junior data analyst should have in terms of statistics. I did an assessment which totally wrecked my confidence in my skills. I didnt know much about P-value and methods of doing analytics, and what are the most common metrics that are used to measure performance. please help :(
P-Value is best learnt by looking at a picture of say two tailed and one tailed hypothesis testing. The actual definition puts me off but the pictures make it more intuitive.stats.oarc.ucla.edu/other/mult-pkg/faq/general/faq-what-are-the-differences-between-one-tailed-and-two-tailed-tests/#:~:text=In%20this%20example%2C%20the%20two,of%20our%20choice%20of%20tails.
Great insights into the realities of being a data analyst! Thanks for sharing your experiences and shedding light on the profession's true challenges and rewards. Very informative and eye-opening!
New subscriber here and first watched video of yours. As a 24 year old switching from a sales background to becoming a DA or BA, this is such great video. Going to watch your other videos!
I’ve been thinking about becoming a data analyst but I have a few concerns about what kind of data analyst and if it’s right for me. My main concerns are having enough time to pursue my hobbies. Which I don’t expect to goof around so much once I’m in the workforce, but I want to carry my hobbies into adulthood. I am also concerned that my ADHD could impact my performance, but I think training and getting experience with activities related to data analysis could solve that question. My main reasons for being interested in this job is because I think it would suit me well, and the paycheck can hopefully fund my interests and hobbies as well as every day life. It also seems to allow flexibility in lifestyle since you can work remotely. Does anyone have advice on how to find what kind of data analyst would be best?
I'm currently in school for supply chain and operations management, there is a LARGE influence of data, excel, creating visualizations. The more I learn about it, the more I can see how incredibly important it is for data analysts to exist. I became very interested in the field and now strongly considering becoming at least a junior data analyst
I love being a data analyst! I couldn’t think of a better profession. I’ve never have problem with urgent tasks, my bosses always set the boundaries to protect the team, so WLB was amazing since the beginning
@@Lolahahaha11 I have the same environment in three different companies. My guess is that I have worked in structured data departments, with processes in place. If I was the only data analyst or working in a decentralized data structure, things could be different
Yeah agreed, with the add on that I've typically seen business analysts paid more. I've even seen (and experienced lol) 45k-65k in the non-profit sector.
awesome video💓 U r sharing real life experience that actually feels real 😅. watching your videos makes me feel like getting advice from a close friend in person, someone who shares every nooks and corners. please share about how you manage everything in life in the aspects of planning
Hey! Have been loving your videos as they’ve been helping me in my journey to become a data professional. You’ve mentioned your design/workflow document in a video before - are you able to share a template version of that?
Thank you for your video! I am about to graduate with my masters in applied data science next week and this gave me more clarity that I’m going for the right role for me!
I would love to know more about how you decided to start your career as a data analyst. You mentioned work-life balance as a factor, but you didn't mention a solid reason. Speaking for myself, I got interested in data analysis because I was good at focusing on neglected details like observing ingredients or calories on food products. Fortunately, I had experience using Excel in college which helped me take my data analysis journey to the next level with pivot tables, querying data, data visualization, and so on. I suggest that you create a video on why you chose data analysis as a career.
Thank you so much for this! I’m currently thinking of switching careers. Even though my job is challenging, I believe it will help me strengthen my soft skills as well as executive presence. Thank you again!
Yes this is definitely on the list! I have one comparing 5 different data salaries in the next 2 weeks and will do a dedicated salary video and talk about what it encompasses
❤❤ Thank you so much for making this video, I have been considering data analytics as a potential career and this video was so helpful and informative.
Hi Agatha, Just loved this video! As a person who is waiting to get a data analyst job, this video motivates me. This is the first time I am watching a video of yours ! Love at first sight.. ❤
You touched on reporting briefly, I am curious what that looks like? Do you have to present your reports to groups of people? I interested in the technical aspect of the job and am fine with small group conversations, but speaking to a group as a presenter is my worst nightmare.
As a high school drop out who later obtained a ged to go to college only to realize I’d be better off teaching myself my career that’s best fit for me, definitely enjoyed this video, gave me the confidence to research more in depth and also most importantly make the career change I need in my life rn thanks for the video.
Hey Agatha, could you please make a video on various job roles and its different salaries? I enjoy your videos and learn something every single time. The information you share on your videos is very true.👏
Maybe can create a guide for those who ask for simple general questions if it is a common issue and easy to resolve. I like the explanation and harsh reality part because it is nice to know the cons with the pro
Hey it would be really helpful if you can tell me if becoming a data scientist is hard or not,i am currently in my 3 year of my college and trying to learn more about this field,did you hit any obstacles and if so how did you overcome it
Yes, also a salary video just on your career and also if you did negotiate how do you negotiate your salary due to the fact you were new to the industry I’m getting into US UI design and I’ll be new but I have a lot of digital marketing and social media marketing experience and I want to know like how would you negotiate properly for a higher salary closer to 80,000 to 6 figures
Hi @agathakang Agatha, thanks for sharing what it's like to be a Data Analyst in the real world, I would like to ask what software you use in putting the scope of work you showcase in this video together, I know it's not a word document, but I find it quite fascinating, and I will like to add it to my toolbox, as I'm looking forward to landing my first job as a Data Analyst sooner than later.
Hey! I was using quip - which is just a cloud based word document. It's good for working collaboratively with teams. You can check it out and I find it helps because it's a cloud based tool to access anywhere
There's no way we'd take a request and work at night outside working hours in France, stakeholders or not, wait until the next day and THEN, we can discuss about it.
The work life balance is so much better outside the US and especially in European countries. I definitely wish we embraced that type of work culture here
Wonderful video and quite informative! Thank you for a clear understanding of what you do (: im coming from an HR background and looking into people analytics. Although it's a bit different, I believe the same skills would be transferable.
Great informative video! I am really keen on getting my foot into Data Analytics by landing my first job in the field. I'm a marketing graduate which covered a lot of business strategy on the digital side of things; I developed a lot of transferrable skills such as exporting and managing incident data at my retail IT helpdesk role for our customers and presenting my findings to directors and project managers, to figure out what technical issues are trending and why, as part of my unofficial account management duties. Do you have any advice on how someone like me with no direct experience in proper data analytics could go about landing my first job in the field?
Hey Agatha, I found your idea for Design Document is fantastic; do you have to have a video that explains it further? Or some sort of a template to start with? I struggles with documenting it in writings and it take a while to dug what the report or excel is all about from my subconscious.
What qualifications and/or certifications do you think would be best to get started? I have a business degree and advanced/high level excel experience and I'm trying to learn R and Python currently. What would you recommend for a beginner transitioning from that background? Enjoyed your video. Very well presented. thank you
Only thing I disagree with is anyone can be a data analyst. I’m a project coordinator dealing with similar situations on a smaller scale and it’s definitely not for everyone. A lot of people would have a mental breakdown when you have so many demands flying at you. Glad they pay these people well they deserve it!
How do you find jobs for data analysis? Is there a website or you apply like regular job? I’m so scared what career to pick bcz even for me rn it’s so hard getting any job… like i can’t even score one at McDonald’s bruh but yes how do you look for jobs for data analysis?
Hi @agathakang, do you have any advice for getting started as a Data analyst? I have a masters in a computational science that includes data analytics as well as a few projects under my belt but I get looked over for entry level jobs because I don't have any experience :/
Sorry I’m a bit confused about the work-life balance aspect. At one point you said when the day is basically over more work can come in unexpectedly. On the other hand you said you prefer this career path because if you make plans to go out with friends for dinner you can count on being able to make the dinner.. so which one applies more now? Do you only have to stay in longer and cancel evening plans rarley? Sorry but this aspect is important to me, so I’d like to know more detail about this matter!
The work life balance is generally good. Sometimes there are days I do have to unexpectedly work late but as you get better setting boundaries at work there will be less of those times and more work life balance

Can you make a series how to develop from zero to full data analyst? Am trying to learn thin and power bi. Not sure if on the right track.
Only thing I disagree with is anyone can be a data analyst. I’m a project coordinator dealing with similar situations on a smaller scale and it’s definitely not for everyone. A lot of people would have a mental breakdown when you have so many demands flying at you. Glad they pay these people well they deserve it!
Could you make a video regarding the (most) hard skills needed ? (btw I loved your video and just become one of your followers !)
How do you find jobs for data analysis? Is there a website or you apply like regular job? I’m so scared what career to pick bcz even for me rn it’s so hard getting any job… like i can’t even score one at McDonald’s bruh but yes how do you look for jobs for data analysis?
Your words encourage me a lot 😂😊
I'm only 15 and I came across data analyst, I think I want to become a data analyst when I grow up although I'm afraid 😭
Hi Agatha, thanks for your video. Which studies I need to learn?. Where shouldd I start?
Hello, I enjoyed your video. So you have any thoughts on operations research analyst? Thank you!
I'm an introvert so the communication part would be hard.
Hi @agathakang, do you have any advice for getting started as a Data analyst? I have a masters in a computational science that includes data analytics as well as a few projects under my belt but I get looked over for entry level jobs because I don't have any experience :/
Please for a video for the different data analysis type
I would love a video on how to manage stakeholders
Thank you so much for the explanation. So clear now. Please how to become a healthcare analyst Thanks
Sorry I’m a bit confused about the work-life balance aspect. At one point you said when the day is basically over more work can come in unexpectedly. On the other hand you said you prefer this career path because if you make plans to go out with friends for dinner you can count on being able to make the dinner.. so which one applies more now? Do you only have to stay in longer and cancel evening plans rarley? Sorry but this aspect is important to me, so I’d like to know more detail about this matter!
The work life balance is generally good. Sometimes there are days I do have to unexpectedly work late but as you get better setting boundaries at work there will be less of those times and more work life balance
