Matt, so awesome to see all this finally come together; super stoked you got use out of the dataset! 🙌🏼
Very interesting about the demand for Excel vs. Python; I think you are on to something with it shifting in the future!
Thanks for the shoutout 🎉
Thanks for all the data and the pipeline! Hoping to continue to take it further and automate it a bit more too!
Hi Matt, another great video! As I've said, you're one of the only channels doing modern GIS, and I'm loving it! 🧑🎤
That means a lot I really appreciate it!
There's always a Matt on every GIS team. And whenever anyone needs help, just look for Matt! Thanks Matt!
Happy to help out!
This is a great video Matt!
Glad you liked it!
Awesome video! Thanks Matt.
Thanks appreciate it!
Thinking going into Agroforestry, GIS tools , SQL, python projects while learning the domain knowledge. I’m liking this more and more everyday .
Thanks ! 🙏🏼
Great to hear!
Great insights.....Nice Jack Dangermond glasses!
Haha thanks! And thank you Warby Parker haha.
So much information here.
Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for sharing this informative video
My pleasure Ashok!
Very interesting video. It would also be interesting to see global trends in GIS technology and country by country popularity of the profession. I know it's a big piece of work, but I was a bit shocked by the number of offers in the US 😅.
I need more API credits first!!
Completing my BSc Geosciences this year, considering studying further in GIS, very helpful video. So excited for the future
You can do it!
Thanks for this video
Of course Temitope!
Thank you very much Matt, glad I found your channel, I have a degree in Geology and currently looking at going into GIS, can you help were to start from.
Check out some of my other videos. They lay out a learning path and some resources too!
As a Data Science master's holder (working too on a grad Stats certificate), I am interested in the application of Statistics & Machine Learning to geospatial data. It only makes sense that Python and SQL are important in that field. What's surprising about the results of this vid is the relative unimportance of what Data Scientists bring to the table, that is, higher level mathematical skills for description, inference and prediction. This is the niche that interests me, Geospatial Data Science which calls for knowing Stats and ML.
There definitely is an application there in spatial data science. It’s still growing and on the true applied data science side like you mention there is demand although sometimes the title can broadly apply to geospatial analytics with Python which makes it hard to differentiate between the roles.
Data analysis jobs should be given to people with data analysis skills, unfortunately that is not the real world.
Hi Matt, thanks for the instructive video. I have a master's in GIS but never worked in the field since graduated in 2018. What would be your recommendation if I wanna shift back to be a geospatial data analyst ?
I would start by building some portfolio projects to work on your skills and focus on areas you might want to work in. Then start to reach out to others on LinkedIn and share your work with them and on your public profile.
Very interesting video
Glad you think so George!
Hey Matt! Big fan, another great video. Great work on the analysis. Just wanted to jump in and agree with a previous comment that it does come off as slightly disingenuous to not name ESRI or ArcGIS specifically by name. I am a huge open-source fan/advocate and would love the GIS community to become more holistic in its software usage, but not naming the currently most widely used GIS platform is a lil odd. Thanks again for all the time and effort you put into your videos and content!
@ericsamson731 You say, "It does come off as slightly disingenuous to NOT name ESRI or ArcGIS specifically by name." I'm not against ESRI and don't think that it has to be an "either - or" decision when it comes to FOSS4G and proprietary. In fact, I'm incredibly grateful for the fact that I probably wouldn't have studied GIS if it weren't for them. But I think times change and they already have enough videos shouting out for them.
Hey so the main reason I don’t is that I haven’t used Esri tools since college so I don’t have the experience to speak to them apart from broad strokes. Of course they play a large role in GIS but the reason I started making these videos was that I didn’t see any content that spoke to the experience I have had in the industry and that seemed like a big gap.
Thanks for this amazing resource. I am currently enrolled in an Introductory course in "Spatial databases". Do you consider this a valuable resource given this new wave of Artificial Intelligence? I would love to know your thoughts on this. Thanks once again for this resource, much appreciated! 🙌🏾👌
I think that more and more of the generative AI models, instead of being trained on EVERYTHING like ChatGPT is, will be applied to specific use cases and data. So think about a project you are working on, what if your user could ask a question of your data just like ChatGPT? A database is a great place to store this data to train a model for a use case just like this.
nice!
Thanks Pedro!
Thanks for this video! I want to switch my career field to GIS, can you please advise is taking an entry level job after certification in GIS is better or going for a masters or diploma is better? Also, if you can provide any source of learning or guidance related is GIS.
I would try and get some career experience and maybe they might even pay for part of your masters. And check out my other videos, but working on a course myself too!
good analysis
Thanks!
I am a 35G in the army. I am just starting out, but so far, I have loved this field. What would you recommend as someone just starting out into this field.
That is great and thanks for your service! Check out my other video that talks a bit more about this: ua-cam.com/video/J1UJ08HbsSs/v-deo.html
For the records that had salary information, did you do a query on which states and/or localities had said data? The salaries sound kind of high to me, and they don't really pass the smell test. I have to wonder if places with salary transparency laws, like California, might also happen to have a high cost-of-living, which will skew the salary data.
It might I can take a look but the jobs that require postings may have a big impact ok that.
I have no degree, some college classes, but mostly self-taught. Telecom has always traditionally been CAD based maps. But that is transitioning. I got in right as the company I work for was transitioning, they did not care about the lack of a degree, they cared more about the fact I knew even what GIS is. Problem is, if I get laid off for some reason, I'm kinda screwed.
Fake it until you make it! That's what I did
Just keep learning and find places to add value in your organization!
Hi Matt, I have just started watching your videos, you are clear and they are good. But you need to get a better mic or edit your voice to be louder, because I have to rise my volume level to max just to hear you but your ads are blowing my eardrums.
Same here
Had to switch on subtitles
I got some new gear now 😄
Hi Matt, how about Geospatial Data Scientist jobs.
BTW, thanks for this valuable content you made and shared.
I think there are some data points on that in the jobs report
Thanks Matt, amazing analysis 😊. I was wondering if you know any sort of space where to practice Python spatial projects. I'm a Data Scientist that wants to transition into Spatial Data Science, but I find it a bit difficult to find sandboxes such as Kaggle to practice with Spatial Data.
Thanks in advance! 💚💚
So I would check out some of the resources on my site, particularly this one - forrest.nyc/75-geospatial-python-and-spatial-data-science-resources-and-guides/
There are some free courses like this one - geographicdata.science/book/intro.html - that allow you to run through some tutorials and then you can adapt those to a portfolio project.
What did you write in search when showing us the education part
Which part were you referencing? The degree data was from the listings itself.
Hello Sir, I want to know how computer science graduates can contribute to GIS field from analysis perspective. Thanks
There are tons of great open source projects taking place in the remote sensing, analytics, database tools, etc.
Can i do data analytics in gis if I have no special Peper in geography but had this subject in general
Does anyone know what assistant GIS means? What kind of work they do
I haven’t heard of that one before to be honest
Please activate translaction
They should be live soon it takes UA-cam some time to process the whole video!
Hi Matt Forrest, I would like to know if these companies hire people from other countries?
Yes I would check out some of the remote jobs in places like Upwork, or for spatial specific jobs check out www.spatialnode.net/
@@MattForrest tnks
what is difference between gis specialist analyst and technician?
Analyst - working with the data
Technician - technical systems and operations
Specialist - generally consultants working to implement GIS for a customer
a little late to ask but can i get a job as a GIS analyst or GIS related job without a degree?
thanks
Yes it is possible! There are some great online programs these days.
hahahahah I couldnt stop laughing at the "Quack! Quack!" scene when you mentioned duckdb. Which movie is it from?
-Regards from India.
Mighty Ducks set in my home town of Minneapolis!
@@MattForrest Thank you, seems like a nice film, Ill watch it!
Ok, I have to ask, you clearly have no lenses in those glasses, so why the glasses?
When I was using my phone to film there was a crazy glare so I just used those since I wear glasses anyways - tried to keep it consistent 🤷♂️
Hii sir iam from india iam postgraduate in geography. I would like to do gis base course in abroad.. which country should i choose. In gis is there any further branch. If so which should i choose. Kindly please reply
There are tons of great options around the globe but many have great online options too, even on Coursera too from universities around the world.
Sir could you suggest. The country to study gis based course...in india there only limited opportunities in this filed please reply
Can you please help someone get into GIS without degree please? Please reply
Check out my other videos that lay out learning paths and free learning resources!
I am trying to find job related to GIS please. Can anyone help please?
Check out SpatialNode
Hello thank you for your efforts..
Please invest in a good microphone...
Of course and hoping to do so soon!
@@MattForrest shed some light on the data science + gis. Geoanalytics.. if some one wants to pursue that career
How can you have an honest video about job skills for GIS and never use the terms ArcGIS or ESRI? The vast majority of geospatial jobs I've seen mention ArcGIS specifically. I'm starting to suspect this channel is just a shill for the company he works for and is probably being funded by CARTO.
So those tools you mentioned are bucketed into the "Traditional GIS" category you see in the video, regardless of who makes them. And as you can see that is still the top category in the analysis results! And no, all opinions are my own!
Sir can you sent your email id
Feel free to send me a message on LinkedIn
