Hey there, fellow data enthusiasts! I’m a management student considering a career in data-related fields, like business analyst, ML engineer, or data engineer. I’ve been learning data analysis and having a blast with it, uncovering insights and telling stories with data. But, I got a bit burned out after 30 days of intense statistics studying. So, I decided to switch gears and try my hand at practical data analysis on Kaggle. I picked a dataset and started digging in, feeling a bit lost at first, but slowly making progress.
Now, I’m wondering, is this what actual data analysts do? Do they create reports like mine, or am I just wasting my time making it look nice and fancy? Do they explain statistics tests and hypotheses, or just give the answers? I’d love to hear your thoughts and advice on my ‘not-so-fancy’ report.
As a data newbie, it’s essential to get a feel for what the job entails. If you’re a seasoned data analyst, please share your insights and suggestions on what I should focus on next. Your feedback will be invaluable in helping me decide if this career path is right for me.
