This is so wild Luke....you basically shared my personal learning roadmap. Started my DA journey in March 2021. Started with Google DA cert, then moved on to UC-Davis SQL Training, then the UC-Davis Tableau specialization. Already had previous working knowledge of Excel. I was able to use these courses to increase my pay by over 50% by quitting teaching and becoming a data analyst. Thank you for the recommendations on what are the best Python courses though, that is my next target. Suppose I can benefit from the Excel course too. Thank you for sharing these. Crazy to see how my own personal journey matched this video. Wish I had this video when I started, I had to compare and contrast on these courses on my own.

Hey congrats 🎊 I also completed the Google DA cert. I would like to know if you felt the need to brush up R skills and picked any courses to learn. Also what are your thoughts about moving to Python ? With the limited R skills learned in the Google course. I am in a dilemma to continue with R or move to Python. 😅

Congrats!! I'm also looking to change careers and have completed the Google DA course. I'm currently completing some portfolio projects. What was the biggest factor in gaining a foot in the door/ interviews? Was it having a more skills based CV, networking etc and which roles did you aim for? Thanks.

@@vivekjoshi3769 Hello Vivek, I liked the intro to R in this Google course, but find Python more in demand between job listings, and ultimately some of the doors it can unlock in the tech space in general, even outside of Data Analytics. I will be concentrating my efforts on Python for now, and setting R aside for the time being.

University of Michigan also has a specialization called Applied Data Science with Python. I was already familiar with other programming languages and found being introduced to Python through this quite manageable, while the topic as a whole was perfectly suited to my needs. I think it's a good option for people who may be new to Python, but not to programming in general. I also did Duke University's Statistics with R, which was excellent.

Thanks Luke for sharing and making this videos for us newbies! I am new to the idea of becoming a Data Analyst. My dear friend just recently landed a entry-level position with Accenture, after being a (paid) intern for a year. He was making 48K with no prior experience and no degree; only having a certificate from the General Assembly bootcamp. Now, in his current position, of just one year, he is making more than 75K in Chicago! He loves his job and works remotely, 90% of the time. He learned CSS, HTML, JavaScript, jQuery, React, MongoDB, Express, Ruby, Ruby on Rails and Fullstack applications. He believes I have the aptitude for this field. However, I know he's tech savvy and me, not so much...he's 41 and I am 52. We both have had major struggles in life trying to find out what we want to do in our careers. We both have had jobs in car sales/finance, dance and health industries and various odd jobs. I recently became a Flight Attendant, love the free flying benefits but hate having to be away from home so much...I'm so torn. I don't know if my brain is capable of retaining all the vast, complex information and/or if I'm talented enough for this ever changing, competitive industry.

R I am the same age as you. All I can say is that you should go for it. As long as it interests you, you will get there. Make a start.

Hi Luke! Thank you very much for this insightful video. I am new to DA and currently on course 3 of the Google DA course. I saw your channel recommended by @Stefanovic and immediately subscribed. I have a question, which one should I begin with between Excel and SQL? Or do they both have a relationship such that if i begin with excel which has many hours of study, once I’m done I can easily do SQL? I’ll appreciate your feedback. Thanks in advance and happy new year.

Both are highly valuable skills, but IMO Excel may be a little funner to learn first so I recommend this first... then once you have some basics down switch over to SQL

Great video Luke. I really love your content! If we use coursera plus, do you still benefit from us using the links to enroll the courses? I am asking because I bookmarked all the courses but if it helps you I can come back an enter the course through the link once I am ready to start each of them.

Aww thanks so much for asking this! Either option is fine for me and I'd just go with the lower cost option for you. I'm not picky, I just appreciative that you use my links!!

Awesome video Luke! I noticed that the Excel Skills for Business Specialization has 4 courses with course 1 being the basics as the description says. What course should I skip to if I am not an excel beginner and would like to learn about macro?

@LukeBarousse 2 жыл бұрын

in that case I think you can skip on to the third course in the specialization, from what I recall I think thats what it starts on macros

Hey Luke, currently I'm going through the Goodle Data Analytics certification. However, I have a question, do you have any recommendation for courses that teach soft skills for data analysis instead of just technical skills?

@LukeBarousse 2 жыл бұрын

I’d actually need to look into this more. But this is a great question. Let me see what I can find out!

I'm already employed in a role that requires a low level of analytical technical skills and the skills I learnt helps me on the job . I'm still planning to transition to a full data analytics career though. Yes, I'm taking some other courses. You should see this Google specialization like a beginner guide to data analytics. You can go deeper after finishing it. Yes, some people were able to land entry roles with just the certificate and portfolio. You might be lucky but the certification was worth it for me.😊

Thanks Luke for summarizing the courses. I am on the verge of completing one for excel and started with SQL and Tableau as mentioned. One question- since analyzing pattern happens to be a key job of Data Analyst, is there a good course you can recommend which will help us understand data mining with no experience? Thanks in advance.

@LukeBarousse 2 жыл бұрын

Let me look into this more as I don't have a course on the top of my head to recommend for this.
