I’m actually using it to get a better understanding of concepts I know a little about. My plan was actually to get a (2nd) masters but with a concentration in informatics but this could help me at least get my feet wet. For clarity I’m coming from healthcare patient facing and I want to work to get to healthcare informatics essentially

      @goofballbiscuits3647 7 місяців тому +2

      I was a healthcare data analyst and PM for 13 years. There is no fundamental difference that getting another advanced degree would bridge. Stats are stats and healthcare is still a business. This means that all financial KPIs, dashboards are roughly the same as any other company. When I'm in the hiring process, I am asking what can you do for our project? I don't care about the accolades if it doesn't improve our processes. If you're talking patient health/population health data, we hire MDs with MBA/MHAs. You aren't competing with that unless you brought a real toolkit with you. You'll get out-papered by clinical staff that pivoted. We would rather have a nurse that knew python than your resume. Otherwise, you're going to be in business ops... guaranteed.

    • @goofballbiscuits3647
      @goofballbiscuits3647 7 місяців тому +2

      I also don't say this to criticize; I genuinely wish you the best. When I've had staff with this same thought process, I feel like it's really just pursuing more titles because you are scared to be unworthy in the workfield. Stop doubting yourself and just take a Jr analyst position in the field of data you prefer. Maybe ask yourself: why do I feel drawn to healthcare specifically? Is there a deeper passion at play? Should that be the thing I actually pursue?
      It sounds like insecurity and knowing yourself might help you stop feeling like you need more degrees to bolster your worth. You really don't. You already kicked ass in school. I feel like more school would be simply avoiding being in the field. And it won't help as much as simply rolling your sleeves up and getting into the thick of it all. How do you know you'll even be happy with that pivot? I was the only non-clinical background on our analyst team. Every other analyst was a nurse who realized they didn't actually like the work a nurse does. But they do like math and programming languages! You didn't even have to force it; they learned it of their own volition and they were so much happier when finally honest with themselves. Best of luck.

For one role that I had working knowledge in the tools, domain knowledge and all certs they listed in the job posting, and even with an internal referral, I got a rejection email 4 hours after application.

    I've finally made up my mind to start my journey from the scratch. For the sole purpose of bettering my life and learning data analytics, I've bought new laptop since the old one was very faulty and slow and I'm planning to genuinely start from zero. Yes, motivation goes away sometimes especially if you're alone or doing this at home so it will be really great if someone also wants to join me on this journey....if there's someone just starting out and also want someone to be constantly reminded of the progress...i think by sharing progress and telling each other what it needs to be done, we will progress faster than average. So let me know when anyone is interested.... It would be faster to learn together, maybe in a group and sharing useful information

    i am subscribed to your channel as your information sharing is great, but may i ask you something about data analyst certification.
    i just have high school diploma 2 years ago and working in my mother's shop to earn money, but i still want to find a job in IT industry and that when i stumbled upon data analyst, so i started trying to learn thing like advance excel, python, SQL, numpy, and pandas month ago, but i see that you needed to learn Tableau or Power BI too, but i dont even have enough money to do the certification so i cannot afford Tablau or Power BI.
    Can i made a resume that included my high school diploma and free courses that i attend to learn and highlight more of work/volunteer experience that i gained through my journey to get a job as data analyst to overshadowed my lack of certification and no formal education? because i see that in your video you still needed some kind of certification. can i buy the app like Proggrammer hero or Programmer Hub as they are more affordable to me?

    A little bit of background. I had no prior experience to power BI or any knowledge of BI tools in general. I read through the entirety of the Microsoft Power BI self-paced content, bought a set of practice questions off udemy and passed the examination. It's been about 4 months now and I'm still struggling to find a job. I'd say the job market for data analytics is really bloated right now and is difficult finding a job. I'd like to think the Power BI certification helps, and I definitely think better than nothing, but it seems like getting into data analytics right now is hard in general

Instead of going for the white collar silicon valley bs that everyone tries to do, talent can be spent at other companies much more profitable such as the heavy industry. Programmers are wasting their time creating and maintaining apps or any other type of software like for Google. Helping to build a safer car for everyone to use is much more satisfying than some app on your phone. Innovation baby, and capitalism is not perfect but it's better than jobs being like Amazons warehouses. Low skilled job for minimal pay and high risk of injury. Or taking a quiz so you can see what they will pay you but get denied the job.
