But having been a manager of data analytics and now a senior business intelligence engineer at Amazon, I've learned a lot and I'm excited to use my experiences to help you navigate your career path.

Hello!my digit should be displayed on your notification bar let’s gooo 😇
Great tips, as usual. Thanks Agatha!
Glad it was helpful!!
Thank you Agatha! The info you shared are really useful 😊
So glad the video was helpful!!
Amazing!! What I find most helpful is when you provide advice to those who are a complete beginner and when you provide resources like DATACAMP and direct LINKS. I don't see many youtubers do this where they provide direct resources so it feels like I'm thrown into the Ocean after learning how to swim on UA-cam.
Please keep it up Agatha!!!

Amazing! This was a good video I like the tips. I’ll keep these in mind. So far learning has been good. Sometimes frustrating 😂 but I’m trying to keep my eyes on the end of the road after obtaining these skills to apply them to real world job.
Thank you always looking forward
You're welcome :)
This video was very helpful. Thank you, Agatha
You’re welcome! I’m glad you found the video helpful
Good, but unrealistic to work with a manager on your current job, depending. Some are suspicious of you leaving the company. So that part not feasible for some folks.

Thanks for this video. Can you share more about how to create portfolio to show projects in your next videos?
Hi Agatha your video always helpful..
Thank you so much 🙂
Rewatching this… I’m so confused about all these data roles titles don’t mean much on a job post so I have to read job description like you mentioned
Thanks for sharing, request ways how to talks stakeholder and clients. What questions need to asks
Always try to understand the business needs.
What are they trying to accomplish? Why are they analyzing the data? And always get continuous feedback on your work so you don’t waste your time working on something that they don’t need.
Hi, it's been short while that I've discovered your channel and have found it super helpful. I'm in a middle of changing my career. Currently, I'm working as an online teacher. Though I've degree in computer but in the past few years, I didn't get time to polish my skills now I really need to work on it as I've no other option. Currently, I cannot go for any certified course but relying solely on UA-cam videos and started with Excel. Could you or someone else who have watched Agatha's videos would be able to tell me what should I be focusing on after Excel? I know about SQL and Tableau. Please let me know if I'm missing anything.

Hi Agatha, I am actually currently self-learning SQL, PowerBI and Python thru Datacamp yay! Anyway, now I wish to start my own project, so I found some datasets I can use, but I have no SQL or PowerBI installed in my laptop (my current work company laptop).. Is there a way I can do up a project without installing the programs? 🥲
have you tried using Google's Big Query for SQL?
Hello there, to get started off, you can do analysis on excel if you don’t have SQL or Power BI. Excel is a very powerful tool that most people overlook. Try to import your data into excel, clean it up, run some analysis on it and create dashboards. Data analytics is as much an art as it is a science. Mastering the art of storytelling with excel will help you when you learn other tools like SQL and PowerBI.
