Great tips. I followed these, and I landed a job with a comms company. If anyone is interested, I learned the following things:
1. Excel, including VBA. I was surprised how many companies wanted VBA skills.
2. I learned Power BI. 90% of companies in my region run an MS stack.
3. SQL. I didn't learn the ins-and-outs, just the parts for querying and modifying data.

many thanks!! im from Peru and was looking the steps to become a bi analyst, your video is really useful

[tarelakentebe]

Was wondering how I could build a portfolio, this was much needed

[inspisiavideos]

Great content! I got out of college this year and nothing of the real world tech needs to get a job was taught. Anyways, I got an internship as Software Engineer and was extended till the end of this year. Right now, I’m looking for any sort of income from a tech job and found this channel. I probably have 2 months before I’m out of savings so I’m using all the available time I have to study to study SQL and probably a course of AWS or get a coding job but just coding is not enough that’s why this is helpful

[alesterdcosta]

Thank you so much for this video, it’s very well explained! 😀🙏
I would like to ask a question since I am currently pursuing a graduate program in Business Analytics; is Business Intelligence a great career choice for atleast the next 5-10 years?

Thanks Adam for that very interesting video!

[robinnn]

Very helpful! I would love to learn more about what a portfolio should actually look like. Do you have any resources about that? (Like should it be a website ? A powerpoint? Should it just be screenshots of dashboards built? How do you show SQL work in a portfolio?)

[joshdee]

Cool video man! I have a question if ya dont mind, what types of questions do you find yourself researching answers to when youre looking at a dataset? Ive got about 8 or 9 Tableau viz's, and the one thing i always struggle with is finding something type of question to answer with the data

[manarabdellaoui]

thank you very much for this incredible video

[tobiobafemi]

You're amazing! off to learn SQL i go!!

[jessicas]

Hi there! Should portfolio not include actual dashboards created in a work environment? Sample sets will suffice?

[edisonjoy]
