If you aren't working 10 hours a day, I can tell you, you aren't doing enough... Data analysis is one of the most difficult and rigorous jobs out there. Good Luck!
I’m currently an Omni channel fulfillment coordinator, and have been promoted to Digital analyst starting April first. I’ll be watching all your videos.
I’m suppose to be studying for my professional exam in accounting but I’m here stuck on your videos😂 Superb video quality and highly informative… So, i’m considering starting a career in data analytics and your videos have been really helpful. Thank you
I saw your first video last year in my final year. I was really thinking and researching for a career change. Thanks so much Wale, for the value you put out.
I totally love this Wale. Communication is the key "So what" of data analysis. The techniques aren't as important to me as the presentation (storytelling). Good communication is everything as an analyst.
Hello Wale my name is Austin… and I am a data analyst. I think I just finished my first course last year September and I have been doing a lots of practice. Your videos has been quite helpful too, I think at this point in my career I need to speak to someone especially when you are in my field… I really need to share some of the things I get so difficult to actually while visualizing a data.
Hi mate love the video! I’m a 21 year old data scientist that works for a convince retailer in the UK. I’ve been in the role for 2 years and I think I would be able to give your viewers some more insights into becoming a data scientist. Let me know if you’re interested and I can share my story about data analytics, how to get started, what to expect and the things I wish I knew before I started. Maybe we can compare what work is like for both of us too I think it would be quite interesting. Let me know and keep up the hard work! ☺️☺️☺️
How do you learn statistics ascept of the job? I would like you to share some stats books with me, I am math major and stat nerd 🤓 looking for more books to read
Hi Mr wale, I saw your videos sometime last year, and today I looked forward to it as I struggle to begin a career in data analysis. Please I need a little bit of assistance from you. I mean like, where to get started from? It's pretty confusing for me at times. Thank you
I just stumbled upon this video, and I'm going through the replies to get some more insights.....How has the journey been for you and how is it going currently
very good work wale, am Emmanuel from Zambia and your video is quite helpful because am planning to change the career to data analyst in 2023, please help more,
Very good video bro, but I want to ask you that I want to persue in data analysis and science is possible ?? If it is possible you can tell me but I did not have any fundemental basics
Hi Wale, I know this is not related to the video but I need a little help if you can see this. I enrolled for the Google Analytics Certificate and applied for the financial aid. I got approved for the financial aid about a four days ago and finished the first course yesterday. Today I finished the first week on the second course but I’m not allowed to take the weekly challenge as it says I need to upgrade even though my financial aid got approved. Please do you have any idea why it comes out that way?
Not good with maths, programming, physics. Only their basics. am I good to go as Computer science graduate, who wish to pursue a career path as a data analyst ?
I have been thinking of transitioning into tech, data analysis to be precise. Is there a way I can reach out to you? I really need a mentor. Thank you.
Wale, can you please create a detailed course on data analysis...we are ready to buy and implement, so to become expert in data analysis skill and industry. Please consider this. Thanks
I love the insight you give. I would like to ask ; what good institutions in Nigeria or out can one get to be proficient in this skill and do you also teach from beginning how to be a data analyst? Thank you
Most data analysts use excel power BI and SQL as said above (also python and using pandas is often desired) but there are roles that need special tools. For example I have a tool that I use called Alteryx that helps prep/cleanse/validate/automate big data. I also use it to make maps to locate stores to build and to look at the demographics of an area which is pretty cool!☺️☺️
they are almost the same. the only difference is that business analyst deals more on on the business side and a little less on the data aspect while data analyst works more on the data side and not so much on the business side.
Hey Wale, I just wanna say I am grateful for you UA-cam channel. I have learnt a lot and it has started me on data career. I have a question, does you age affect your chances in starting a career in data analytics?
Hey Kanmi, age doesn't affect your chances of starting a career in DA or in tech as a whole. But as with most professions, as you age, the expectation is that you have built a wide range of experience to be able to contribute on a more senior level. Absence of which might make it difficult for an older person to compete with the much younger folks out there.
Started the google certificate course but stopped. This gave me motivation to start it again. I appreciate that. My only concern is will I be able to make a living in the 2nd most expensive city in the world.
Hi Sir, love your videos, I've been following them and I have gotten much insights. I took a free complete course online on data analysis but didnt get a certificate. Can I get access to work opportunities with the certificate and how do I go about it?
Hi wale, I am not gonna bore you out with the "I have been a fan since Covid" ...but need a 2nd eye, as I have been told to create a presentation to nail an analyst role in Canada...mind if I borrow your eyes for this? Thanks in advance
Hi chioma, I’m a data scientist and my experience is that I was able to demonstrate to my employer that I was interested in learning data analytics. What landed me the role wasn’t necessarily my grades or qualifications (although some places will have a minimum requirement) I was making projects on my own on things I was interested in. My projects were majorly based around mathematics, statistics and data naturally so that definitely helped. Being curious and showing that you are willing to learn is a great way to start in my experience. Wale may have a different opinion though ☺️
@@Ok-fh3mt thank you for your reply. I am already doing projects that interest me but I can't seem to move forward in all the applications I have send in.
Thanks a lot for your mail. I have started the google data analysis course. I'm stuck at the SQL. How can I practice it? What software can I use to learn it? I have no idea about SQL. Thanks
Hi wale, came across your channel while researching for a friend who is considering switching careers in a bid to offer some suggestions. I am not a data or techy person but I thought I'd comment on your content and presentation, you probably get this a lot but you doing a great job with the channel! Might be helpful to leave your email or socials in the description or somewhere on the channel so some of us can contact you for tips!
Love your videos but your audio is too low. I have to increase audio to %75 at least, to make out what you are saying. Please please normalize your volume. Thanks.
I love your content so much, butt I will suggest the channel's name is change to something very similar to data analytics or your name. I mistakenly didn't subscribe the first time I came across your channel and to locate it next isn't that easy.
Content delivery is Cool 😎. Again, as in a previous comment I don't think I would have seen this video if not for UA-cam autoplay. You may consider a different name for the channel 👍
@@walegbads what grade do you give this skill overall for A to F? Pound for pound, where do you think this falls from #1 to 10 for top 10 tech skills/job options? Are gonna upgrade to Data Scientist? is that even worth it?
Number 1 in my opinion. From my experience as a data scientist companies are wanting to utilise their data to accurately cater their services to their customers. Data scientists are in demand as often companies with large amounts of data do not know where to start when trying to find insights in their data and in the end they don’t bother diving into it unfortunately ☺️

Started 9th of this month, and I’m pumped!!! Dashboard is so exciting but SQL is looking scary
Glad to hear!
SQL is quite simple. If you are very familiar with Excel, you will understand SQL faster.

Very insightful tips!
Thank you Wale. This video was really helpful.

What are the tools or software that you use as a Data Analyst?
Mostly Excel, Power BI and SQL
@@walegbads which of the SQL?

Can you make video explanation the differences between data analyst and business analyst.
they are almost the same. the only difference is that business analyst deals more on on the business side and a little less on the data aspect while data analyst works more on the data side and not so much on the business side.

reach out to recruiters in your locality and ask for internship opportunities
