I worked as a government financial analyst and even though I had zero experience when I first started, once I got the basics mastered, I quickly grew into someone who could think of immediate solutions to very complex problems. Some things take time to understand but eventually it becomes much easier and you grow into becoming an authority in that area.
@@rayhana9259 right now in the Google Data Analytics program Excel, R, Tableau, and SQL are covered. When I worked as a financial analyst, I used Excel daily and Crystal Reports for extracting data and running queries. I also used a few customized data bases where I could build a canned script to pull information like employee salary increases. So most of my learning has been on the job.
@@hrthjfr , Excel and Power Point more than anything. I also produced lengthy reports in Word where many tables, charts, and graphs were included. I also used Crystal Reports to extract data from a mainframe data base.
Regarding the sample question/problem “Customers are not subscribing to a paid membership once the trial ends”: what type of data would you use to answer that problem? Haven’t got an idea which type of data would help to answer that/ if there is any kind of data that tells why they don’t subscribe. Thanks for your help!
Hi! I’m not a data analysis but this is my assumption: I would assume the analyst would look at everyone who DOES subscribe to a paid membership. Then they would analysis what all those subscribers have in common ie. Is it a particular age group, ethnicity, location, is it most males/females , particular professions etc Assuming the companys goal is to get more paid subscribers, the analyst would clean the data, present it to the company, and the board would make the executive decision based off that data. Ie. “It looks like people who subscribe to our product are mostly 50-70 year olds. Lets advertise in older communities”. Or “most of our subscribers are doctors/medical professionals. We need to market ourselves to the head of health departments” etc But also, idk lol
Very well said. Im a data analyst in a call center company. This is very legit. But don’t get too woried about what are tou going to do being a data analyst you have to be creative and it depends on what clients or your boss wants to see, just do it. Don’t get tired improving your skills in MS office power bi etc.
Hi, I am curious about which learning you recommend to get the "Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate" or code academy "Business Intelligence Data Analyst".
I saw a listing for a Data Analyst position, but I only know a little bit of programming from Python, and don't know any Oracle, or SQL. Should I apply anyway?
I'm 16 and i am an aspiring data analyst. This video really opened my thoughts about data analytics, i'll comeback to this comment when i finally became a data analyst CHEERS❤️✨️

Sometimes explaining and reading the guidelines of a career sounds alot more complicated than it really is. I'm an accoutant and I can explain in detail what I do, but really it's just make sure everything is accurate while taking into consideration other factors. I could easily transition to a data analyst or for my case, a financial analyst.
@@omarioBOSboy01 I'm an accountant as well, for the past 8 years and can definitely agree with @fineth9319. I have been anywhere between a full-cycle accountant all the way up to a financial analyst for corporate companies, and in line with @fineth9319: most people make it seem like it's complicated and like a very serious working environment, from job descriptions to what social media, tv shows and other people assume accountants are, (serious people in front of computers in cubicles, you can hear a pin drop for how quiet it is, etc.), or encounters people have had with some, but it's nothing far than what it really is for the majority in that profession. The jist of it is as simple as: knowing how to add and subtract, making sure reports and data is accurate (being analytical), data entry, manipulating data and other things. Depending on where you live, you can make good money, especially in major cities, like Miami, New York and Los Angeles in the United States.
hey, I really like your video. I am 19 years old, living in Canada on a student visa and I have no experience with any programming language like Python, etc. And I am thinking forward to making my career in Data Analytics, by taking the first step as a Google certificate course ( Data Analytics ).

Currently enrolled in the MBA program for data analytics. At my company i sat with a data analyst. He was basically coding using R while another rep on the team used Tableu. Ill admit R looked pretty imtimidating and i have no background in that area. However he did say he had zero experience and he just had to work and play around to gain the knowledge and experience. Thats the only thing that worries. However in my current im very logical, methodical, and analytical. I love looking at information and making charts etc. MY boss reconmmened to a system business analyst and grow my skills aroudn that. Is their anything else should I be doing? I currently want to do soemthing that will make me happy.
Well explained! Well done. I admire your great presentation skills. I didn't hear you mention data integration (a majour stage in data warehousing) Is it that data analyst role has nothing to do with it? Please clarify me. Thanks
I feel like AI is going to eliminate the need for human data analysts. Which sucks become this sounds like a job I would love. As someone with ASD finding patterns is life lol
Hey Ijeoma, it's a tool or piece of software that can represent your complex data in graphs or charts or animations. To make it more easily digestible to an audience.
hi. you mentioned that that some of the tools a data analyst uses are programs like excel and python and other language programs. Are these a prerequisite in some level or another, or can someone jump into the field of a data analyst with prior knowledge/experience in these programs and learn these on the go?
Thank you kindly for demystifying data analytics, without going into all the fluff. You saved me 6 months of studying. There are many enigmatic videos out there in the sea of data that is so long winded and convoluted.
Thank you I really needed this and it was really helpful on my quest to become a data analyst. Right now all I have is knowledge of Python and SQL and I know its not going to be an easy journey but thanks to you I'm looking forward to it. Thank you for answering my questions again.
No, you are the one designing the AI or algorithms based on your parameters. That's why you're needed. To decide how AI/algorithms to analyse that data.
With someone with little. Idea in mathematics and statistic will it till be advisable for me to embark on such a journey even tho I have a strong passion for the course
Can anyone learn data analysis or only computer programmers can learn it? And how long would it take for a normal person who has no prior knowledge in it? Thank you for your helpful information
Hello! There are actually a lot of Data Analytic boot camps/programs that you can take that offer financial plans and you can complete within 6 months for a certificate! I’m currently doing one at UC Davis. Check with your local/most interested school to see what works best for you.
Could some one please advice, if a person has a choice to get degree before acquiring DA field. Obtaining degree will be most beneficial in business BS or BS Psychology which would lead later to DA? Thanks
So in essence - you do all the donkey-work of recording every metric of an entire business - JUST so management can sit on a beach looking at your charts on their iPads, flicking their fingers around? Saving them from having to do any real management the old fashioned way?
What if one is bad at Mathematics/statisctics (but good at communication, explaining, presentation skills etc, wants less code), can it be a good decision still to start studying Data Analytics/start their career towards Data.
Hey Danford, we also have a top blog with loads of data related articles if you want more information: careerfoundry.com/en/blog/data-analytics/ We recommend checking this out! Thanks for taking the time to comment too!
Thanks for the overview! I want to transition into data and the 5 day program sounds like a good start. I’d like the 5 day program and also to know what it entails please and thank you.
Not at all! Data analyst's require high school level maths which is not difficult at all. If you know the basics, you're already on your way to become a well-rounded data analyst. There are three topics of math that are needed for the job: calculus, linear algebra, and statistics. Also, as you're studying different data analytics topics, you can put in the time to learn these in more detail too!

Hi Candice, yes! The number of jobs in data analytics can vary region by region. However, more and more companies understand the significance of having an internal data analyst. Also there are a number of remote jobs that might not require you to move. Hopefully this helps!
Hey, thanks for the question! It is definitely useful and will be valued in your job search to have this expanded knowledge. Although access what you're aiming for when looking for a data related role and see if it will be required. Many times you can learn a lot while working in the actual role and also get real-world experience. Hopefully that's helpful!
Hi Ruth! Certainly not, your responsibilities will vary greatly depending on the job you're applying for, in certain jobs there can be a requirement to know some coding to fully utilize the data acquired. However, normally this will be listed at the "requirements" section so you can make an informed decision whether the role suits you well.

Ill admit R looked pretty imtimidating and i have no background in that area. However he did say he had zero experience and he just had to work and play around to gain the knowledge and experience. Thats the only thing that worries. However in my current im very logical, methodical, and analytical. I love looking at information and making charts etc. MY boss reconmmened to a system business analyst and grow my skills aroudn that. Is their anything else should I be doing? I currently want to do soemthing that will make me happy.
Hi William, I find that you have done the best video for this topic and have well-covered information-sharing tips about this career. Thanks a ton!
Well explained! Well done. I admire your great presentation skills. I didn't hear you mention data integration (a majour stage in data warehousing) Is it that data analyst role has nothing to do with it? Please clarify me. Thanks
Hello is this feasible in Nigeria?Awaiting your response. Thanks
Can somebody guide me as to where should a humanities student start if they want to learn data analytics?

Thanks Ryan! Glad you're enjoying it and best of luck on your journey!

I feel like AI is going to eliminate the need for human data analysts. Which sucks become this sounds like a job I would love. As someone with ASD finding patterns is life lol
The video was quite helpful.but I have a question, WHAT IS A DATA VISUALIZATION SOFTWARE?
Hey Ijeoma, it's a tool or piece of software that can represent your complex data in graphs or charts or animations. To make it more easily digestible to an audience.
hi. you mentioned that that some of the tools a data analyst uses are programs like excel and python and other language programs. Are these a prerequisite in some level or another, or can someone jump into the field of a data analyst with prior knowledge/experience in these programs and learn these on the go?
Thank you kindly for demystifying data analytics, without going into all the fluff. You saved me 6 months of studying. There are many enigmatic videos out there in the sea of data that is so long winded and convoluted.
What is Jamie Vardy doing here?
can I learn data analytics any website or channels for free?
What do you guys think of the Google Data Analytics Certification, and do you think it could land me a Job?

Hi William
I am just beginning to look at the possibilities of this career. My questions is: couldn't data analytics easily be mastered by AI?
I am also beginning to look at this as a career move and have the same concern.
@@scwebb-truthinlove same as me... I won't venture into this career because AI can do it in some years to come
No, you are the one designing the AI or algorithms based on your parameters. That's why you're needed. To decide how AI/algorithms to analyse that data.
Year and half left until I’m done with my bachelors in data analytics!!! Keep up the awesome videos!
Nice work, keep it up! Glad you're enjoying the content and stay tuned for more useful videos in data analytics!
With someone with little. Idea in mathematics and statistic will it till be advisable for me to embark on such a journey even tho I have a strong passion for the course
This video make it easier to understand what data analytics is all about… I’d go deeper for this, and make it with great results. Thanks man ❤️🙏🏽
Can anyone learn data analysis or only computer programmers can learn it? And how long would it take for a normal person who has no prior knowledge in it?
Thank you for your helpful information
Sounds anything but interesting
AI just killed this career choice
Very comprehensive yet succinct and matter-of-fact video. Thank you guys!
Thanks for the video, how do I pursue a career in this field without having a degree in Data Analysis?
Hello! There are actually a lot of Data Analytic boot camps/programs that you can take that offer financial plans and you can complete within 6 months for a certificate! I’m currently doing one at UC Davis. Check with your local/most interested school to see what works best for you.
What about remote positions ? How do you share your knowledge do you still have to present in person ?
Could some one please advice, if a person has a choice to get degree before acquiring DA field. Obtaining degree will be most beneficial in business BS or BS Psychology which would lead later to DA? Thanks
Can someone with only excel and Microsoft skills who doesn't know codings to become a data analyst?
So in essence - you do all the donkey-work of recording every metric of an entire business - JUST so management can sit on a beach looking at your charts on their iPads, flicking their fingers around? Saving them from having to do any real management the old fashioned way?
What if one is bad at Mathematics/statisctics (but good at communication, explaining, presentation skills etc, wants less code), can it be a good decision still to start studying Data Analytics/start their career towards Data.
Video starts at 00:50
Where and how can i get the skill online please. well done job sir
I did a course in Data Analytics but could not make head and tail of it. Thanks for clarifying

Thought you should know that the background music is annoying as heck. Can't finish the video. You should know this being a data analyst.
Thank you for a clear and simple video for those of us who are interested in this area. I look forward to learning a lot more from your channel.
OMG, that is absolutely a great video for beginner like me, everything is clear and useful, you should do more videos like that.
Thanks, we're glad you found it helpful! More videos like this are already in the pipeline and should be out very soon!
this video is amazing, but what can be the role of data analytic in internal audit
My friend I have a question for you my friend I have a question for you I'm like really bad at math will this be a problem in data analytics
Not at all! Data analyst's require high school level maths which is not difficult at all. If you know the basics, you're already on your way to become a well-rounded data analyst. There are three topics of math that are needed for the job: calculus, linear algebra, and statistics. Also, as you're studying different data analytics topics, you can put in the time to learn these in more detail too!
I want to do this so bad because I have an awesome helpful personality and I love to problem solve but I’m not so good at math 😢
I’m interested in the 5 day short course. I’d love to learn more. Good video mate.
Hi! Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Here's the link to our free 5-day data analytics short course: bit.ly/Become_A_Data_Analyst Best of luck and hope you enjoy it!
Saying everyone is talking about it and it's the next big thing turns me off *immediately*
Is this difficult to learn i searched also for proframming or webdeveloper i dont knwo whta to choose
i felt like I've been scammed by my company... I'm doing this for almost 5 yrs then they pay me less than the average
The salary can depend on a variety of factors, including experience, location, etc. However, if you feel like you haven't been compensated fairly, it might be a good idea to start looking for another job in the industry as there are plenty good ones! Hope this helps!
Thank you for sharing this video
This was such a good straight to the point video. I'm currently enrolled in a MBA course and I have to confirm my concentration. I was sold on Entrepreneurship and Innovation, but since looking over Data Analytics and listening to you, I think I'm sold. Thanks for this video.

How could one dream to be a data analist if he/she doesn't f* know what it is!?
*Like this comment, if you like data analysis
How do I go into this with zero knowledge on any of the programming language?
Behold! The BTC transaction has safely reached our coffers.
All was good till i heard"communication skills"
Which is the most crucial one among the programming languages you mentioned that I need most as a data analyst
At 7:00 you talk about programming languages such as Python, Oracle and SQL. But in the next scene you show us CSS-code....?
He used his analytical powers to determine that most viewers can't tell the difference between programming languages, and that HTML/CSS writing stock scenes are the cheapest ones available, then made an educated business decision based on what the reports showed.
can I be a data analyst even I am based in the Philippines?
yup
Hi Candice, yes! The number of jobs in data analytics can vary region by region. However, more and more companies understand the significance of having an internal data analyst. Also there are a number of remote jobs that might not require you to move. Hopefully this helps!
The music behind it spoils everything! - NO need for it!
please how can i get more video of you or the full course on data analysis
Is persuing Master's in Data Analytics/Science is right to do?
Hey, thanks for the question! It is definitely useful and will be valued in your job search to have this expanded knowledge. Although access what you're aiming for when looking for a data related role and see if it will be required. Many times you can learn a lot while working in the actual role and also get real-world experience. Hopefully that's helpful!
"Design, build, and test backend code"???
I'll have to be a backend dev?
Hi Ruth! Certainly not, your responsibilities will vary greatly depending on the job you're applying for, in certain jobs there can be a requirement to know some coding to fully utilize the data acquired. However, normally this will be listed at the "requirements" section so you can make an informed decision whether the role suits you well.
