Hey guys, I've been working as an Analyst for a media company in the EU since the beginning of February 2022. Although I expected proper data analysis from this role, it has been more data engineering in nature thus far. The following are the responsibilities and platforms that I work on: Python, SQL, and MS Azure Synapse (which will be replaced by MS Fabric). Dashboards are created in PowerBI, but that is handled by another person, even though I know the basics. Obtaining raw data from multiple sources, primarily third-party and first-party data sources, but occasionally from external data ..read more

Hey guys I want to move to the US for work. So first a bit of background I have an undergrad in data science and statistics and I have about two years of work experience in data analyst roles. So im fairly unior so far. Not really getting much traction in terms of getting jobs in the US. Would it be a good option to potentially come to the US for a masters or would it be better to continue to rack up work experience in my home country of Australia. Also would a Master's in data science still be beneficial to analytics career or would it be better to go for a masters applied analytics. Thanks ..read more

I often read posts here about people doing their masters in Business Analytics. I am pretty passionate about Data Science and Business Analytics so I applied for MS Data Science in two US universities and got rejected from both. Even though I meet the prerequisites I know that I don't have multivariable calculus and Liner Algebra on my transcript, and probably could have been the reason for rejections. I am also equally passionate about Business Analytics as I am about Data Science. I am open to apply to US universities for MS Business Analytics for this Fall 2024. But I think a lot of the de ..read more

I have been looking for a data analyst job for the last several months. I am certain my pass rate for initial HR screening is below 50% and probably in the 30-40% range. I apply only to positions where I match at least 70% of the requirements. Would love to hear other people experiences about how often they pass initial screening? submitted by /u/bm1125 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Our pricing on a product is really stupid high. While our sales people do discount heavily, they still don't really get down to the commodity price for the item. About 18% of the 3600 customers for 2023 purchased product "A". So I have a hypothesis, if all customers purchased product "A" for x....... $1, instead of $2-5, we'd make more money. But... You need a lot of volume to up for that price drop. The question, if all customers that do not presently purchase product "A", did purchase it, what would that volume look like? How can I test the validity of the model? I can look at dollar amount ..read more

I'm a masters student at uni deciding what to do my final project on. I can choose almost any subject of my desire, and thus wanted to crowdsource some potentially interesting examples of causality that could be cool to look at in this context. the guidelines state 'This project is a simple exercise in using time series models and data to estimate causal effects and to forecast future values. You are to gather data for two primary time series, call them yt and xt . The former is the dependent variable of interest, while the latter is the potential causal or explanatory variable. The variables ..read more

I noticed that some American users on my website are using the automatic Chinese translation. The American visitors on this website use only either English or Chinese... And there is no other country that is using the Chinese translation. Are these chinese people using a VPN? Why? It's just a lighting e-commerce store. I'm using Microsoft Clarity to view the user interactions submitted by /u/Typical-Challenge216 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I will soon graduate from a double master's degree in financial engineering and industrial engineering in which I mainly used R for my projects and my master's thesis so I'm pretty confortable with it. However, I had only 1 course of Python and SQL which were 3 years ago so it's fair to say I'm still a beginner in those, which is a pity considering that it's what the industry uses the most. I could already begin to work in a data analytics position and already received offers, but I don't feel ready for it as I only know R. I'd like to take a year to learn Python and SQL and maybe other langu ..read more

I've been an Analyst for nearly two years now and I don't really enjoy the job anymore. What are the probable career changes that a person who was in Analytics can pivot to? I don't want to play with data anymore ? Skills : SQL, Python (basic pandas, matplotlib), Excel, and Tableau.
