Q & A

  • Pourquoi le rôle de data analyste nécessite-t-il d'être un autodidacte ?

    -Le rôle de data analyste exige d'être un autodidacte car les outils et les technologies évoluent constamment, et il y a beaucoup de choses à apprendre par soi-même. Il est important de ne pas compter uniquement sur les collègues pour l'aide, mais plutôt de rechercher les informations et de trouver les solutions par soi-même.

  • Quels défis rencontre-t-on lorsqu'on doit apprendre de nouvelles compétences en tant que data analyste ?

    -En tant que data analyste, on doit faire face à des défis tels que l'apprentissage de SQL, l'utilisation de logiciels de visualisation de données comme Tableau et Power BI, et l'adaptabilité aux différentes configurations de bases de données et d'outils au sein de chaque entreprise.

  • Pourquoi est-il important d'être patient dans le rôle de data analyste ?

    -Il est important d'être patient dans le rôle de data analyste car on peut rencontrer des problèmes de codage, de débogage, de recherche de données et de travail en équipe. La patience est nécessaire pour résoudre ces problèmes et pour travailler efficacement avec les clients et les collègues.

  • Quels sont les inconvénients de demander constamment de l'aide à ses collègues ?

    -Demander constamment de l'aide à ses collègues peut les distraire de leurs propres tâches et responsabilités, ce qui peut affecter la productivité et les délais de projet. Il est donc préférable de chercher à résoudre les problèmes par soi-même avant de solliciter l'aide d'autrui.

  • Quels sont les aspects de la communication qui sont importants pour un data analyste ?

    -Pour un data analyste, il est important d'ouvrir les lignes de communication tout au long d'un projet, de travailler avec les membres de l'équipe, les parties prenantes et les clients, et de s'assurer que les mises à jour et les informations sont partagées régulièrement.

  • Pourquoi travailler avec d'autres peut-il être considéré comme un défi pour certains analystes de données ?

    -Travailler avec d'autres peut être un défi pour certains analystes de données si ceux-ci ne sont pas à l'aise avec la communication ou la collaboration, ou s'ils préfèrent travailler de manière indépendante.

  • Quelle est la réalité salariale pour les analystes de données débutants ?

    -La réalité salariale pour les analystes de données débutants est généralement entre 60 et 80k dollars par an, bien que des exceptions puissent exister. Il est important de vérifier les offres d'emploi pour avoir une idée plus précise du salaire moyen dans le secteur.

  • Quels sont les niveaux de salaire plus élevés pour les analystes de données expérimentés ?

    -Les analystes de données expérimentés, comme les analystes de données seniors, peuvent atteindre des salaires de 90k dollars et plus, voire même les six chiffres, en fonction de leur expérience et de leur rôle au sein de l'entreprise.

  • Quelle est la différence entre un data analyste et un data scientist ?

    -Un data analyste se concentre généralement sur l'analyse et la visualisation des données, tandis qu'un data scientist est souvent impliqué dans la modélisation prédictive et l'apprentissage automatique, nécessitant ainsi des compétences plus avancées en informatique et en statistiques.

  • Quels sont les facteurs à considérer avant de s'investir dans une formation de data analyste ?

    -Il est important de vérifier les listings d'emploi pour comprendre le salaire moyen et les compétences requises, ainsi que de se familiariser avec les outils et les technologies utilisés dans le secteur avant de s'investir dans une formation de data analyste.

🚫 Non adaptés au métier d'analyste de données

Le premier paragraphe aborde les raisons pour lesquelles certaines personnes ne sont pas adaptées pour devenir analystes de données. Il insiste sur l'importance de l'auto-apprentissage, car le secteur est en constante évolution et exige de l'indépendance dans l'acquisition de nouvelles compétences. L'auteur partage son expérience personnelle d'apprentissage autodidacte des outils tels que SQL et Tableau, soulignant que les analystes de données sont souvent très occupés et ne peuvent pas toujours se tourner vers leurs collègues pour obtenir de l'aide. Il recommande aux personnes intéressées par ce métier d'avoir une mentalité d'apprentissage autonome et de ne pas être découragées par les défis rencontrés.

🤔 Patience et collaboration essentielles pour les analystes de données

Le deuxième paragraphe met en évidence les attributs nécessaires pour réussir en tant qu'analyste de données, notamment la patience et la capacité de travailler en équipe. Il est mentionné que les analystes doivent souvent résoudre des problèmes complexes, travailler avec des bases de données et des outils qui varient d'une entreprise à l'autre, et collaborer étroitement avec les membres de leur équipe, les clients et les parties prenantes. L'auteur dépeint également les défis de la communication continue et de la gestion des attentes des clients, soulignant que ceux qui sont impatients ou qui ont peu de tolérance à la frustration pourraient ne pas s'adapter à ce rôle. Il réfute également la croyance que le métier d'analyste de données est un moyen rapide de devenir riche, en expliquant que les salaires sont généralement plus modestes que ce que laissent entendre certaines perceptions erronées.

Transcripts

play00:00

so today I want to have a reality check

play00:03

on your expectations of becoming a data

play00:06

analyst versus what it's actually like

play00:08

being a data analyst So today we're

play00:11

going to be talking about reasons why

play00:13

you should not become a data analyst and

play00:16

before we get into things I just wanted

play00:18

to say that I am not trying to

play00:19

discourage anyone from becoming a data

play00:22

analyst I really think that it's a

play00:24

really good career path to go down but

play00:27

like with anything in any career path

play00:30

it's not for everyone like you could not

play00:33

pay me to do some other careers so

play00:36

let's get into it

play00:38

so the first reason that you should not

play00:40

become a data analyst is if you're not a

play00:43

self Learner in this role you really

play00:46

have to learn a lot on your own so if

play00:49

you're someone that may need a lot of

play00:52

Hands-On help in order to complete a

play00:54

task this may not be the best fit for

play00:57

you things are constantly changing and

play00:59

there's a ton of things that you have to

play01:01

learn on your own in my situation I came

play01:04

into this role with no prior experience

play01:07

in data analytics so I had no I had no

play01:11

training on SQL or how to use any of the

play01:13

data visualization tools like Tableau

play01:16

and click and I know a lot of people use

play01:19

power bi I had no experience on using

play01:22

any of those tools so for me I had to do

play01:26

a lot of self learning on my own yes I

play01:30

did get to do some like side by sides

play01:32

and watch

play01:34

um appear That's on my team as well as

play01:36

watch my manager when he was doing some

play01:38

of his projects but that wasn't what I

play01:42

did all day every day in the beginning I

play01:44

had to go out and pretty much Google

play01:46

search a lot of different things I had

play01:49

to learn how to do SQL on my own I had

play01:51

to learn how to use Tableau pretty much

play01:54

on my own so there's a and not to say

play01:57

that's going to be the case for everyone

play01:58

you guys may be like taking courses or

play02:02

taking certifications so you're learning

play02:04

in like kind of like a classroom setting

play02:06

but that wasn't my experience and even

play02:08

if you do learn those things in a

play02:10

classroom type experience there's a lot

play02:13

you're going to have to learn on the job

play02:15

databases are going to be set up

play02:18

differently the tools that your company

play02:20

or these companies have are going to be

play02:22

set up differently so there's going to

play02:23

be a lot of on-the-job learning and you

play02:27

can't really rely on tapping your

play02:29

co-worker on the show on the shoulder

play02:31

every time you need help with something

play02:34

it's really something that you have to

play02:36

be an independent learner and you have

play02:39

to go out there and get the answers to

play02:41

the information your first thought

play02:43

should not be let me ask my co-worker

play02:45

the answer to this and see if they're

play02:47

going to figure it out or see if they

play02:48

can help me out with this your first

play02:50

first thought is really having to be let

play02:53

me go in Search and try to find the

play02:55

answer to this on my own because

play02:57

everybody's busy in my role for the most

play02:59

most part myself and my team we're doing

play03:02

a lot of solo projects so they are

play03:05

working on something completely

play03:06

different than what I'm working on so

play03:08

everyone is busy and has their own thing

play03:10

going on and when you're asking someone

play03:13

else for help with something you're

play03:16

pretty much taking them away from the

play03:17

project and the work that they have to

play03:19

do that they have deadlines on so you

play03:21

really have to have this mindset of

play03:23

self-learning if you want to get into

play03:25

the channel okay so I am editing this

play03:27

video and I just want to add I'm not

play03:29

saying that you can never ask your

play03:32

co-worker for help I'm just saying that

play03:35

that typically should not be your first

play03:37

thought when you're needing help with

play03:39

something or trying to find the answer

play03:41

to something typically you want to try

play03:43

and self-serve or find the answer on

play03:47

your own before you reach out to another

play03:49

now if it's something like they got the

play03:51

data you need or of course reach out to

play03:54

them like I hope that's kind of like

play03:55

Common Sense common knowledge but yeah

play03:58

if they there's going to be cases or

play04:00

times where it's like this person I know

play04:01

they have the information I know I need

play04:03

to reach out to them definitely do that

play04:04

but if it's like oh I'm trying to figure

play04:06

out how to make this join work

play04:09

Google it so the next thing is going to

play04:11

be if you're someone who gets easily

play04:14

frustrated or if you're impatient this

play04:16

is a role you have to have a lot of

play04:19

patience with patience with yourself

play04:21

patients with these databases patients

play04:24

with the tools because you're going to

play04:27

run into issues in this job role you're

play04:31

going to have problems with coding with

play04:33

debugging with trying to find a freaking

play04:36

data source sometimes like everybody's

play04:38

trying to find out where the data is

play04:40

there's like hundreds of tables and

play04:42

Views that are out there and that can be

play04:45

frustrating trying to locate data it can

play04:48

be frustrating trying to debug your code

play04:50

trying to figure out why things aren't

play04:52

right it can also be frustrating working

play04:55

with others when you're waiting on them

play04:56

to provide you with information or

play04:59

you're waiting on a client to sign off

play05:02

on a project or you're dealing with a

play05:04

client that is constantly changing their

play05:07

mind on what they want and that can be

play05:10

frustrating having to deal with someone

play05:12

that doesn't know what they want and

play05:13

you're having to kind of insert into

play05:16

their project when they should be when

play05:19

they should have that ready for you but

play05:21

that's not how this works out all the

play05:23

time so you may have to go through a lot

play05:25

of trial and error working throughout

play05:28

the project and your visualizations and

play05:31

working with stakeholders and clients so

play05:33

if you get easily frustrated or if

play05:37

you're impatient this may not be the

play05:40

best fit for you and tying into that the

play05:42

next reason why you may not want to be a

play05:44

data analyst is that if you don't like

play05:47

to work with others I know for me when I

play05:50

first got into this role I didn't think

play05:51

that I would and this also ties into

play05:53

communication you guys but when I first

play05:55

got into this role I thought you know

play05:58

like I always see people on their

play06:00

computers typing with their headphones

play06:02

on I didn't think that they interacted a

play06:04

lot with others but you really do the

play06:08

lines of communication have to be open

play06:10

all the time throughout a project you

play06:14

talk to people more than you think you

play06:16

would and maybe more than you'd like to

play06:19

you have to work with others you have to

play06:21

work with people on your team you have

play06:23

to work with your stakeholders or

play06:24

clients you have to

play06:27

update like we have like a 15 minute

play06:29

daily scrum so I'm working with our

play06:32

scrum Masters we're giving project

play06:35

updates we're working through roadblocks

play06:37

we're meeting with clients on status

play06:40

updates on information we need things

play06:43

that are happening we're having to

play06:44

update our jira tickets on a daily basis

play06:47

which keeps the client or stakeholder

play06:49

updated on where we're at and then of

play06:52

course they're commenting back on those

play06:54

tickets for the most part to either give

play06:57

you information or confirming where

play06:59

you're at or possibly changing deadlines

play07:02

you're going to be working with a lot of

play07:05

people throughout your career as a data

play07:09

analyst so if you're if you're not a fan

play07:12

of talking to people if you're not a fan

play07:14

of working with others this just may not

play07:16

be the role for you so the next reason

play07:19

why this may not be the best fit for you

play07:22

is that you think that you're going to

play07:24

get rich off becoming a data analyst I

play07:26

feel like there's this common

play07:28

misconception that when you get into

play07:30

Data analysts like you take one of like

play07:32

the data analytics certifications

play07:35

you are going to get into an entry-level

play07:38

role making a hundred thousand per year

play07:40

now I have seen videos of people seeing

play07:43

like they got their first data analyst

play07:45

role making 100K But please understand

play07:47

that is the exception that is not the

play07:50

rule on average

play07:52

data analyst roles are between 60 to 80k

play07:55

like just go out on indeed go on

play07:58

LinkedIn look at some of these job

play08:00

postings I've seen some in my area that

play08:03

are as low as 40K and when you look at

play08:06

and read the job description what they

play08:08

are really describing that they want is

play08:09

a data scientist not a data analyst so

play08:12

be mindful of that typically you'll

play08:15

you're gonna see like a senior data

play08:17

analyst or above making like 90k Plus or

play08:21

even six figures on average that's not

play08:24

typically the average of someone just

play08:26

getting into data analytics so if you're

play08:29

doing it thinking oh I'm going to take

play08:31

the certification course and then I'm

play08:33

going to start a job at 100k

play08:34

please go look at job listings before

play08:37

you wait like it to me before you waste

play08:41

your money thinking that you're going to

play08:42

take this course and then just go into a

play08:45

100K job because that's typically not

play08:48

the case average 60 to 80k range for a

play08:52

data analyst which is still great money

play08:54

and you can advance as you get into the

play08:58

role longer you can make more money and

play09:00

get into those higher ranges but

play09:02

typically starting I just want to say

play09:05

like that's not the norm that's the

play09:07

exception that's not the that's not the

play09:09

rule so I encourage you go out there

play09:11

look at the job listings see what data

play09:14

analysts or companies that you want to

play09:16

work for or just local to your area are

play09:18

making to see if that's something you

play09:20

want to pursue before you invest your

play09:22

time and your money into this I hope

play09:24

that this information was helpful to you

play09:26

if you're thinking about becoming a data

play09:28

analyst just some things to consider if

play09:30

you have some other points for anyone

play09:32

looking to get into this role please go

play09:33

ahead and drop account people out and I

play09:36

will see you guys in my next video
