Graduated in spring with a Business degree and no internships so it's been difficult getting my foot in the field. Followed your advice and did some projects, created a portfolio, and updated my resume with that and I've been getting more interviews these past few weeks. Thank you so much Alex.

Hey can I see your portfolio? Can you share the link of it.

I’m going to be graduating in the spring and I’m so happy I recently found your channel to start working on portfolio projects and setting myself up for success as a data analyst. Thank you!

Great content as usual Alex! Thank you for this kind of heads up. Also would like to share that thanks to the guides from your channel I was able to get a Data Analyst Job. Hope you keep making videos like this!

Hello Alex. I just found your channel, and I have been really enjoying it! I am making the switch in careers from a High School Math Teacher to Data Analyst (hopefully soonish), and your videos have really helped me acquire some much-needed insights to make the switch less confusing. Thanks for all you do!

I made this exact switch last year--you can do it!

Thank you so much. You have really helped to things in perspective. I look forward to you the complete video.

The next month is too long but I understand😁. I think age is an important factor to consider on this topic- if you're younger you can explore domains but an older individual with more responsibilities will have to put more consideration in selecting a domain especially if they are just entering the field.

Awesome Alex... thanks for all the hardwork you are doing for us🎉

Thank you Alex. I hope you can dive deeper into this topic by giving us a tour of the different domains. We appreciate your work, thank you.

You're a godsend. Thank you for making these extremely informative videos.

This is an awesome point Alex. Domain expertise is almost as important as tech expertise.

Thank you so much for posting this wonderful video.

Thanks a lot Alex for always ditching out good content and admonishing people on how to be successful in their career path.👍🏻

Thanks for the advice!

So agree on this. I decided early on to stay in the HR Domain/function and it is was a good choice

Hi Alex Thanks for your advice. Could you talk about DA in the supply chain (or logistics, and transportations), and service platforms during your next videos?

This are some good tips. For some places, finding Jobs in one particular domain might be very difficult.

thank you Alex ,people tend to ignore this although it is extremely important for them, I've been wondering: 1) in this context I've been thinking about Finance can you make a video on what should I learn in order to break into this domain does a Master in finance worth it ? or it would be better to learn by my own? 2)I'm majoring in computer science(bachelor) in my last year and I'm seeking an internship/entry level job in data analytics during college I've been working on software projects only,lastly I switched my interests into data analytics so I only have a certification from google as a junior data analyst and two minor case studies (project stone in my certification) should I put my previous projects in my resume and start applying now? or work on other data projects and then put them instead of SW projects

Really looking forward for the next video, great video as always!

Hi Alex, Thanks a lot for making again an amazing video. What domain is good if I want to make a transition from teaching to Data Analyst? I check your mentorship program, but it's sold out. How can I join the waitlist of the mentorship program? I really want to join that as I have full trust in your mentorship. Thanks

This guy makes me want to become a data analyst.

I would be wary of throwing salary numbers without considering cost of living, size of company, reputation of company, etc. I'm an incoming Data Analyst at a large company making $100k, first time in the domain, with 1.5 of total YOE. Glad you're discussing these sorts of topics though, super interesting!

Thanks for the great content. Since you moved to SC, what ever happened with your promotion here in DFW?

I Found it difficult getting a job straight out of college. I Majored in Business data analytics this spring, 5 years of military experience, and countless data projects. The job outlook isnt as good as they say it is.. but im happy to be where i am now

Hey Alex! So I'm currently an HVAC tech and I started looking into data analytics as a full time career. I am going to be enrolling in Google's data analyst course as well as doing a python course and 365 data science course on udemy. My two major questions are: what domains would you say are the best paying ones and what are some other areas or skills that would be good to study to put on a resume? I do have a couple years of coding (C and C++) experience from university but nothing else really skills related that would make me stand out on a resume from all the other Google course candidates.

That has been my biggest issue trying to pick a domain. Finance is my first idea or healthcare. I do a lot of reading but I'm leaning towards finance/fintech

I am transitioning to data science right now. I am not interested in any domain but I got one opening at a sports analytics firm in Berlin. But there are very few players in the market of sports analytics and only one in entire Germany. So that means, less room to switch jobs for salary hikes and chances of boss turning toxic due to domain niche would be more. So I would target more generalist domains like banking or audit where tones of players are there in the market. More room for growth and I will have a parachute ready incase work place turns toxic.

Thanks a lot ALex

Thanks Alex! This video is super useful. I have finance background but I am interested in data analyst. I am still thinking of the right path to pursue cuz as you said I should figure out my domain. I cannot wait for your next videos about this field. How can you find out your domain during working as a data analyst? And where can I find your mentor program?

Quick question bud. I am a Tech Support Engineer for a premium WordPress plugin. What should be my ideal direction? Watching your videos and subscribing to your channel made me want to be a Data Analyst or Data Engineer.

I think that I might be more attracted to data than a specific domain. Although geospatial data seems to creep into many of my portfolo projects.

Thank you very much Alex for making a great and instructive video regarding a topic which often ignored in other data related channels. It was really beneficial. Have a really quick question on this topic: As you know there are many data consultancy firms which offer services to a many clients from a wide range of topics. Do you think these firms are better place for a Jr. Analyst position as you could get experience with different domains? Then, perhaps after 2,3 years you could focus on the ones you like most.

As devils advocate, a mistake you can also make is choosing a domain too early. If you specialize too early in a young career, you can limit your opportunities down the road. I think there is a balance.

Ah, ok. By "domain," you mean industry. Which industry or type of business you want to be an analyst in. I was thinking you were going to talk about technical domains and to specialize early in a combination of machine/platform/languages. Like, chose Windows or Mac, then choose Google of Microsoft, and then choose their preferred suite of tools. Get good in one combination before you branch out into something else. Does that make sense? Or should you just git gud at it all?
