Liked the analogy about cooking. If you are not putting the extra time to become the best version of yourself, the field you work in doesn’t really matter. It is really important to choose a career you think you will be able to constantly improve yourself in. Thus, you need to LOVE your field/job.
I think you can use this analogy with any job. You’re always going to have adapt to ambiguity. I just graduated with a. Degree in data analytics and currently looking for my first role. I can say, I don’t mind and enjoy doing about 90% of the things you mentioned. My next step is just having a company hire me so I can show my value
How's the search going? Are they offering compensation that you feel is fair, having a degree vs. people who just do boot camps or self-teach data analytics?
This is like , Hey I'm Billionaire, don't become a Billionaire like me , stop watching these kind of videos people, do what you want to do, your life your choice.
that's your takeaway? sad. this is more like warnings & staying grounded to reality rather than naively believing it's all butterflies & rainbows. don't know what's so bad about sharing cons to a profession 🤨
All of these reasons are why I want to become an analyst. I've spent a lot of time realizing what I want to do ever since I switched from pre-med to data analytics/science last summer. I have been self-learning and teaching myself all throughout my new college classes too.
Imo, a job is a job. I understand that people say to find a job you love because you'll have an interest in it but this is real life. Things don't always go the way you want them to go. A job is a job, you're gonna have to work and learn regardless of whether you like doing it or not. You can succeed in any career you could want to as long as you put the work in
@@emilywendling I don’t think u realize the hardships the homeless undergo because in no way is that better than just getting a 9/5 and actually living
I’ve been deep diving into the coursera google course about data analytics and I’m almost finished with it. With the learning they have had I’ve come to appreciate the self teaching of the sql coding, r, and python and the many ways that you can adjust and manage your database filtering. It’s for me but I see how it doesn’t seem to be for everybody
While working, do you spend a lot of time (AT WORK) on Google and UA-cam for SQL or Power BI concepts that you may not remember or know but, need to know for a project? You said you work remote so, I assume the answer is “yes.” Was this an entry level Data Analyst position? Is this your first Data Analyst job, basically?
My goal is to be a Data Scientist. I studied Industrial & Systems Engineering and I'm about to make the change by a bootcamp and try first as a Data Analyst to gain experience and practice with the key tools such as Phyton, R, SQL, Tableau, etc.
I’m a computer science student entering my senior year. I feel comfortable with data structures and algorithms, however I haven’t taken any statistics courses yet. I’ve taken linear algebra, discrete math and the calc series. How much statistics courses do you recommend or what type of math is used for this industry? Also, what type of programming concepts are applicable to this job? Thank you for your time!
There’s actually not to much math involved or statistics unless you’re venturing into data science. For data analytics it’s more so gathering requirements and learning how to transform and load data into a data visualization too using sql!
Justin, a follow up question: I failed at math back in school bro. I use an online percentage calculator and shit 😂 but I have a somewhat developed analytical thinking. Would this job be very hard for me? Or simply as hard as anything new? Its just cos I really fucking suck at math bro
I think the video is just named incorrectly. I feel you should have named this video, things to consider before becoming a Data Analyst not why you shouldn't become a Data Analyst.
My problem it's that I don't know what I want to be, I started yesterday to learn programming I'm taking the ossu path to be a computer scientist but I love AI a lot but idk what do I need to be to work with AI data analyst, data scientist or what
Don’t become Data Analyst… if you have zero domain knowledge and zero experience. I successfully finished Data Foundations Bootcamp in Udacity in 2018, got a certificate,…and never got hired (or even responded by recruiters)!😅 Plus I am an Applied Mathematics graduate (immigrated to US from Russia)😳. Go to internships, go do PhD program, go become a Manager and then do data with your leadership team❗️I wish you to be well trusted and easily hired to the job your heart desire!❤
Hi! I'm doing Art History for my undergraduate (shifted from Computer Science), and I was wondering if you've met someone in your team who had a humanities background and does Data Analytics? The higher maths in CS became completely unnecessary and I am quite confident I can teach myself the technical skills needed for DA/DS.
@@aena5995 depends on where you live i guess. Honestly i don't know anyone with this degree, most have background in statistics/economics/computer science, but plenty of people have completely unrelated degrees.

@@northpaul3276 yes it's a pretty new program at this uni but this uni is known more for its technology Computer programs but business data analytics seemed interesting because not everyone has it so by the time I graduate it won't be as saturated as everyone is doing CS so I want to learn finance business along with programming too tho so is it worth it or is it better to get a general degree like economics or smthing as everyone says it's better to get something general instead of too specific however this program has Data Science and Artificial intelligence and machine learning related courses too so it's mostly stuff I am really interested in, is it worth it in the long run ?

Hi Justin♥️ your video, I have 2 questions justin I want advise from you actually I don't have good communication skills and don't want to engage with stakeholders and want to work on my own and present the work to Manager, So can I survive for long term in data analyst field without good communication skills and second Justin What type of issues related to coding or and others we can face in data analyst field Can we solve those issues by researching on our own, Please Justin answer to these questions and give me advise on that Thankyou
So the reasons are: -Not interested in tech -Not a self learner -Don’t have patience -Not a good at communicating If you don’t have any interest in tech, you can’t talk to people, you can’t learn on your own, and and you have no patience then my friend you can’t succeed in any line of work. In short, this video was a nothing-burger. An absolute garbage take, which had nothing to do with the job itself.
I have no problem communicating with supervision/team members. But someone told me that data analysts have to give a lot of presentations. Is this accurate? Also, are presentations live or pre-recorded? I'm just trying to get a feel for if this is something I want to pursue. Thanks!
I started a Data analyst bootcamp after learning web dev for 4 months by myself, I gave up because everyone was trying to learn the same and it’s saturated in web dev field and I didn’t have the discipline to study. But now on a bootcamp it feels better, even if I’m not that much into data analyst, with some guide is awesome. Btw I’m new on this, is data analyst a good work/life balance job? How much do you make as junior? Nice video
I agree with everything you said. I've been in computer programming for over 17 years and I HATE it for all the reasons you listed. I'm only doing it for the money and I recently acquired my MBA and I'm looking to transition from data to Business Analyst.
I got into some UA-cam algorithm hell that keep suggesting I watch "This is why you don't want to be a data analyst/software engineer" videos. And they all say the same crap, please please please come up with some original content. This is just click baitey nonsense
I kind of hate all into data analyst/tech videos because of their first point. Now I know many did it, but I didn't. I love technology. Even got degrees in it.
Don't be the millionaire that tells us why you "shouldn't" be try to be rich ... It is just hypocritical ... Lose your money first and then tell us 😉 ...

I was hoping he’d answer this question. I edited the question to emphasize researching concepts “at work” versus “off the clock.”

WhAT ARE SOME UA-cam VIDEOS THAT TAUGHT YOU CERTAIN SKILLSET YOU DID NOT KNOW?
I'm tremendously shy and introvert. So I should become data engineer or software engineer, instead of becoiming data analyst ?
Wondering about the same thing😂

and this video is really helpful, thanks!
Definitely learn them!
start from statistics first, then master excel/sql/python/data visualization/business intelligence

Master Excel?
As a guy which work 'only' with Excel/VBA daily for years im decades away of mastering excel.
And 'real programmer' laughs about VBA.
So "master" is definitive the wrong word.
It is more like pareto-principle:
Learn the 20% which are needed for 80% of all tasks.
For a real master you need 100%.
Great direction!
