What's the #1 skill for a data analyst?
Maybe a hot take but it's not a technical skill!
IMO, the top skill is to understand business concepts and the problems at hand. That's where the demand for analytics is coming from. It's not coming from a desire to look at pretty charts!
The new skill needed for data analysis… data governance and data regulation knowledge.
Just b/c you can access the data doesn’t mean you should. Store it in the wrong place or send to the wrong person and the financial penalty might cost more than your analysis is even worth!
Data analysts.... one of the most important skills for you is not technical but rather conceptual.... understanding the business problems that you're trying to solve.
Don't think about just delivering on a ticket request such as "just add this one field" but rather...
Try to…
Critical thinking / problem solving
Sort of like... give me a butter knife and I'll figure out how to build a house out of it.
No matter what tools or programming you know, it's only as good as your ability to apply those tools to hard problems.
Be nifty, be creative!

Resume advice for aspiring data analysts / scientists / engineers:
You want to show off technical knowledge & skill while also describing the impact your projects and work have had, in a way that a non-technical business stakeholder could understand. #ELI5

How do you know what's highly valued?
Simple, what would help make money, retain money, or save people time (time is money!)?
Start with those questions and that mindset, and review your backlog of requests and group into buckets.

As a data analyst and general employee, you want to get noticed, you want your work to shine 🌞
How do you do that?
Work on things that people are looking for, that are highly valued.
Iterate, get version 0.01 out the door. V1.0 comes later.
Work on the things people want!
Has anyone found a great "roadmap" to becoming a data analyst / data scientist / data engineer / data whatever?
Genuinely curious if people have found one they would recommend to their best friend.
If not, let me know. I can help put one together, or, "another one"!
If you're an aspiring DATA ANALYST or SCIENTIST...
You've seen a lot of "AI is going to take your job" posts.
What's that require? Nice clean data in tables with table and column names that make sense.
Data analysts be like...

To my non-USA friends & followers... USA is just getting back from a national holiday, last vacation of the summer, and many sending kids off to school.
Not asking for special favors but if you give them an extra minute today they will be extra appreciative. ❤️
Resume tip:
Many people add an objective statement at the top explaining what they are looking for or want to do.
Use a professional summary statement instead summarizing your skills and what you can offer to a company.
Entice them to read the rest of your resume!
Take time to take care of your health!

If you don’t have your health then how will you achieve your goals?
Take care of the engine (your body and mind) and it will help you do achieve anything you set your mind to!
Data analyst can be such a broad and catch all job title.
Look 👀 at the role’s specific responsibilities & requirements.
It can involve true data analysis and problem solving, predictions & forecasting, data pipelines & transforms. Ensure the role fits your expectations!
An effective data analyst will be comfortable interacting with stakeholders frequently and getting feedback on scope, requirements, business context, end goal, and final product delivery. You actually end up wearing a lot hats, even have to manage your own projects!
