beautifully explained thnks

Hi Alex as I’m a warranty executive in an automobile OEM core profile is to work on data…so please suggest me how it will be helpful for me to do data analyst course….I have diploma in automobile engineering…no graduation….also please suggest the best platform for same…from India🙏🏻

Really good advice

Can I take IBM data science course??? Is it worth it will I be able to learn data science with perfection

Hi Alex. Can you please talk a bit about the importance of domain knowledge? In some industries, such as medical, especially when involves lab equipment, doing data analysis can be very challenging just because of the lack of context.

I have a bachelor's from an art school. I'm afraid the words "college of art" on my resume will carry a stigma and make me seem like a not-serious person to a data sector recruiter

Jfc turn the gain up on the audio

Hi Alex
I have just watched your video. It's very interesting. I have bachelor degree in Arts field, am I eligible for Data analytics?

How would you go about to choose between a masters in statistics or data science? Are there more limitations by choosing statistics?

This was a great presentation . Thank you Alex

so which one should i choose as a non-IT background person ?

I graduated with a master's in data science in 2022 in an effort to break into the data career space. My program focused on learning Python and data manipulation with Pandas, and then jumped right into machine learning. I learned nothing about using Tableau or Power BI to create data models, reports, or dashboards. I learned nothing about the distinctions between data analyst, data scientist, or machine learning engineer. In my job search, my master's in data science has impressed precisely NO ONE!

Wanna see how data analysts are going to live with the advance of ai 😂

Dear Alex, I had done a dispensing optician course back in 2012 and got a job as an optician but I did not like it. I am currently doing administrative work for a very small organization. They are on ground level with their website and needed me to update it. I work with the computer engineer who designed the website and he started teaching me how to code. Iam still learning with him. I also did a basic computer course in microsoft office. I like problem solving a lot and math and I was looking up careers involving those traits and data analytics came up. Then I stumbled upon your videos and I was astounded that they were free to learn the basics of the field. Thank you for making it available and my goal is to become exceptionally well at the skills you recommended follow your videos and apply for a job. I don't have a degree but I do have determination.

It seems like Data Science is well suited for financial markets whereas Data Analyst is more general business.

True?

Hi Alex, i am 36 yo and i have a degree in accounting and finance and currently working as a business analyst in a commercial bank. I want to switch career to data science. Is it a good idea? If yes, Where should i start from?

5 years from now, when we're kicking it in the Caribbean, we're all gonna say Uncle Alex was right

Go with what you want to be.

I shall subscribe 😊

Hello good morning from here, my name is Chidinma, thanks for all you do, I just watched your video and really need some clarifications.

I'd soon be rounding up my bachelors in public health, I'd love to integrate technology with public health, i feel I can only do this with Data Science because of the predictive solutions to solve health problems (Disease detection), I don't have a STEM background, does it still make sense going for Data Science straight on? Or navigating through Data analytics?

Ps: I do have an intermediate knowledge of SQL.

What a Great video, way to Go, all I need regarding both fields in nutshell, thanks a lot Alex.

Dear Sir, I want to thank you for all those videos you made and for your magic explanations.. please help me ! I am 38 old and I have a phd in biomedical engineering and I want to shift my career into data analysis or into data science and machine learning. What do you recommend? Do you think I can do this at this age ? BIG THANKS

Hi Alex and everybody . do you know if companies would hire people who are interested in data science and enrolled in courses but they have a business profile?

Alex, Thanks for clearing lots of doubt!!!

I have a bachelors in mathematics and it is the whole reason I got interested in data analysis.

Initially, I wanted to be an airline pilot!

I'm considering getting a masters in data science because I feel that data science will not involve PROOF WRITING AND ADVANCED THEORETICAL MATHEMATICS lol (which is PAIN, there are still unsolved problems today).

Anyway, if I get the master's, I'm definitely going to pursue a career as a data scientist. Currently, I'm about to start my first data analyst role. I already started learning a thing or two about Linear Regression (supervised learning) in Machine Learning and although you just told me that I won't be using it in this role I feel that I should stay the course and keep learning anyway because if/when I go to take my masters, I'll already know things and that's LIT. :)

Is it possible to start as a Data analyst and later in the career switch to Data scientist?

The Data scientist sounds way more interesting (not just because of the pay), however, I am missing the Master's degree.....

me too my name is Alex
we have a lot in common
I am also bald, I wear glasses and I study CS.
it's like looking at the best version of myself

hey alex, i am from a finance background academically including economics, statistics and computer science. So should i continue with data analyst plan or an data scientist considering the fact I will not be studying physics and higher levels of education.
Other people are free to help in the comments.
thank you <3.

Great video Alex, just wondering are Engineers elligible to become a data analst? because my future job title is Engineer & Data Analyst, surprisingly.

so alex can i be a data analyst just buy watching online course even i am not a computer science student?

Data science is for me

Thanks for your inform bro. It's help me a lot to knowing what's the different.

Do you have to give presentations as a Data Analyst?

Thanks,

what is a dashboard? what goes into making/modifying it?

Low audio

Hello ! My name is Saif. I am originally from Bangladesh. I am in my first year of Bsc in statistics. I need advice on how to advance my career.

Thank you

If I give myself 360 days one year, can I become a data analyst? If so, can you give me an idea of what I need to learn

Im engrossed with your channel! Love how dedicated you’re to educating all of us!

Just seems like data analysts and data scientists are highly underpaid for the impact they have and the skills they possess: highly effective communicators, strong analytical skills, strong technical skills in coding and visualization tools, etc. Geez man. I'm overwhelmingly anxious for presentations, and I'd stay up at night knowing I'd have to present to business leaders the next day. Doesn't seem like the right role for me at all.

Is there any difference between data analyst & business analyst, if there are any differences does companies only recruiting the candidates who possess the required skills of the both roles?

Thank you so much for your clarifications about the differences and similarities between a Data Scientist and Data Analyst. This is a great video =)

People like yourself, Luke and stevefonic something are so inspirational that help me keep my motivation up... ✊🏽

Thanks for all this information. I am a student getting masters in Data Analytics what is a good company to get an internship with?

Would a degree in Business Analytics qualify you for both roles?
