I wrote an updated article on everything you need to know about getting started in data! It covers job titles, salary ranges, skill sets, tools and skills to learn, and more! thedatabloq.com/post/data-anal…
My notifications are busted lol but that’s not stopping me from pushing out my content
Here’s my take on WHY you need to leverage @Oracle’s free Cloud certs, especially now that OpenAI is set to pay Oracle $30B every YEAR for cloud and data center services… Start studying for your Oracle Certs now!
3 things I recommend: Whatever you don’t like about yourself, find a way to use it for your benefit Inject yourself into environments and conversations that make you insecure to challenge yourself to grow and overcome it Acknowledge what you like about yourself & build on it
Could you tell us some ways to build confidence?
It will behoove you all to peruse xariv every now and then to see how many people are dedicated to furthering existing and emerging fields in the tech ecosystem. The papers can be rough to read but Gemini is great for summarizing the papers. Also, I post the papers I read 😊
These articles, white papers, policies and executive orders tell you what you need to learn so you can land new roles. But, some people won’t take the time to read. Readers, researchers, and implementers will always win.
This. Ask it to explain tough concepts using analogies and laymen’s terms. Very helpful when making your way through courses and tutorials. Also use it to help walk you through troubleshooting project issues.
Your biggest advantage in tech right now isn't another course. It's having an AI mentor available 24/7. Ask it for project ideas, real-world scenarios, five-year forecasts. I didn't have that luxury when I started with just YouTube and blogs.
I don’t care how much I think I know, I refuse to skip the fundamentals. It’s so important to understand the underlying principles of the technology you’re using.
People sleep on data camp but they are an excellent source for data analyst, data engineering, AI, and ML training. They have real world projects you can do, podcasts, and give MULTIPLE courses over foundational knowledge of topics.
Datacamp is so fye now. WOW. They have EVERYTHING. My job did that one lil thing giving it to us for free.
BUILT! Congratulations!!!
