A Day in the Life of a Data Analyst (2023)

[waswarodgers]

Just finished my probation period as a data analyst and was confirmed officially as a full employee. This video has given me the direction I was looking for❤

[ryn_rai]

This is by far the best "A day in a life of Data Analyst" video I've ever seen on YouTube. This video gave the proper insight of how a day look like in business. Great work and thank you for sharing, loved it!

[fabianfriedrichs]

As a Data Analyst my self i can confirm that this is pretty much about what I do.
Usually the tasks are not as clean cut as shown here. E.g. do you sometimes realize a problem in the data while creating a report and go back to the datatransformation.
But this shows perfectly what the general tasks of a Data Analyst are!

[Tealll]

I’m in the process of deciding if I want to move forward with a Data Analytics certification and I had no clue it included all of this. Not very sure I can handle the coding and math lol. Thanks for the details!

[ImADelicacy]

Now THIS is the Day in the Life video I was looking for!!!! This definitely gave me much more insight on what it entails. I knew some of what was mentioned, but definitely didn't know all of this. Extremely helpful and much appreciated!

Best ‘day in the life’ video of any career ever. For a job that usually involves confidentiality so you can’t actually show what you’re working on therefore you need to explain it concisely, this was great! I’m not even a Data Analyst (yet) and I 100% understood what day to day work would look like. Thanks

[joaquinivanperezalvarez]

I think that data analysis is one of the best careers right now, personally I love the combination of subjects that make it unique, the problem that I am encountering after almost a year as a data analysis trainee is the job search, I am from Peru

[YahToldMe]

This was perfect! So in-depth and detailed. As an aspiring Data Analyst, this motivated me. Thank you!

[saiwilatt]

As I'm an introvert, one thing that I'm worried about is the communicantion skill. I heard many data analysts mentioned that it is so important to have a *strong communication *. Yeah!! It's truth that a word of strong makes me nervous. In addition, as English is not my first language, and I'm not the one who can or likes using a high level words like business terms or talking sound like a professional. Therefore, how can I overcome this kind of thoughts before I graduate ?

[caetano.santana]

Thank you for this video! Always nice to see Data Analysts/Data Scientists doing their job. I'm actually dedicating a lot of time and effort in order to learn as much as possible to become a Data Scientist myself in the near future. Such inspiring professions.

[shashpeiris]

Struggling to get into the industry as a Data Analyst, looking for a mentorship and good opportunity. This is encouraging for real. Thanks alot.

[katerynakoltunova]

I'm a year into my bachelor's program for Data Analytics. This was such an insightful video! I'm learning python, sql, and statistics, and it's so cool to see I can continue learning and staying on top of new techniques. I can't wait to become a Data Analyst!

[Chica]

As others have commented, this is one of the best, if not the best, day in the life videos I’ve watched. Super helpful. Thank you!

[rajiabdulrauf]

i have been trying to transition into tech and making choice of career path has been difficult, but after watching watching this video, i think i am going for data analytics. i hope i find a good job soon and develop myself

[yhfuudt]

I’m an aspiring data analyst, and I find this video insightful

[ocarerepairlab]

This is by far the most simple and straightforward video i have seen about a data analyst day. I am motivated by it. Thank yiou.

[ManaMonarch]

Thank you for providing a proper 'day in the life of'! Other videos never go into what they actually do, work-wise, this was really great and insightful.

[ebbiec]

Thank you for this information on your day in the life!!! I've decided that this would not be the most ideal role for me!

[danielmalatji]

As soon as am done with the LSS BB am coming for Data Analyst then go back and do my LSS MBB

[mwagle]

This has to be the most accurate "day in the life" of video for Data analytics I've seen.
