So i have been learning and working on data analytics for the past few months, and right now i am looking for an entry-level data analyst role , or even an internship if that’s available.

For the skills side of things i know Python, SQL, Excel, Power BI

Plus i have a bachelors in AIML with a CGPA of 8.05.

Along with data analytics, i have recently started exploring and working with agentic AI frameworks and AI workflow automation.

I have build a few projects too.

I have been applying quite consistently, but honestly I’m still searching for that first chance.

If anyone here happens to know of openings, referrals, or internships, do let me know.

Also working hours doesn't matter to me, i can work for any amount of time if we are building something meaningful so if you are their building a startup or anything where i can help you i would love to join you.

I’m a civil engineer with 2 years of experience, currently earning 7.6 LPA. Recently, I’ve been feeling that growth and salary increments in civil engineering are quite slow, which is making me seriously think about switching to Data Analytics.

I know basic Python, SQL, and DSA, but I still don’t have any good projects to put on my resume. At the same time, seeing all the AI discussions online makes me wonder if I’m already late to this field.

Just wanted honest advice from people working in tech/data:

Is Data Analytics still worth getting into in 2026?

How difficult is it for someone from a non-tech background?

What skills/projects actually helped you get your first opportunity?

Would genuinely appreciate real experiences and guidance.

The Quick Backstory:

• My Background: UG in Biomedical Engineering + PG Diploma in Health Informatics.
• The Detour: Couldn't start in healthcare initially, so joined a hospitality startup (restaurants, commercial spaces, events).
• The Growth: Started as a Business Analyst, Promoted to Operations Manager making 85k/month.
• The Crisis: Recent energy/gas crises hit us hard. Company is restructuring, layoffs are happening, and I’m resigning before the ship sinks.

The Big Problem:

The startup operates entirely in the unorganized sector. Strictly cash-in-hand weekly payouts. No digital payroll, no PF/ESI, and zero bank statements to prove my income.

I’m trying to pivot back to my core field (Corporate Hospital Ops / Healthcare Data Analyst). I have a genuine experience certificate and a recommendation letter from the CEO, but nothing else.

Questions for HR:

1. The Interview Pitch: Do I tell recruiters upfront about the "cash-only" model, or will they red-flag me instantly?
2. The BGC Nightmare: If a background verification agency demands bank statements to prove my 3-year tenure, what alternatives can I give them?
3. The Salary Dilemma: Because I can't prove my 85k mathematically, will corporate HR treat me like a fresher and lowball me?

TL;DR: Promoted from Analyst to Ops Manager (85k) at a startup. Company is tanking, getting laid off. The catch? Paid entirely in cash. No bank statements. Want to pivot to Corporate Healthcare. Am I screwed for background checks?

I wanted some honest advice from people already working in analytics/data roles.

I’m a self-taught aspiring Data Analyst. Over the last few years, I’ve worked in manufacturing and operations roles while learning analytics alongside my job. I’ve built skills in Power BI, reporting, KPI tracking, Excel, operational data handling, and recently also upskilled myself in Microsoft Fabric (DP-600 certified).

I’ve worked on dashboards, reporting automation, operational reporting, and analytics projects, and I genuinely feel I have enough practical skills for an entry-level Data Analyst or BI role.

The problem is — I do not have a formal college degree.

For the last 6 months, I’ve been trying seriously to transition into a full-time Data Analyst role, mostly targeting Delhi/NCR opportunities. I’ve probably applied to 1000+ jobs across LinkedIn, Naukri, company websites, and referrals, but I barely get interview calls.

Most of the time I feel my profile gets filtered out before anyone even checks my skills or projects because of the degree requirement.

I’m not complaining — I understand companies have hiring filters and policies — but I genuinely want to know from people already in the industry:

- Do companies in India actually hire Data Analysts without degrees?

- Has anyone here made it into analytics through skills/projects alone?

- Should I continue pursuing analytics or pivot somewhere else?

- Are startups more flexible than MNCs?

- What can someone like me realistically do to break in?

I’m willing to work hard, learn continuously, relocate, and start small if needed. I just want one real opportunity to prove myself.

Would genuinely appreciate honest advice from people in the field.

Looking for someone to share my knowledge and grab theirs for growth and study together as i cant do it alone please connect if possible

I am looking for one chance to start my career.

I am a person in the field trying to become a Data Analyst. I have learned how to use Python, SQL, Excel and Power BI. I have also built some projects. Applied for many jobs. But I am still looking for my first job.

If anyone is looking for someone to fill an entry-level Data Analyst or Internship role I would really like it if you could help me get an interview or a chance to work with you.

I know how to use Python, SQL, Power BI and Excel.

I have been applying for data analyst jobs in various companies. But I either get ghosted by them or get rejection mails. When I try to message some recruiters on LinkedIn, they don't give me a reply. It's really overwhelming. I don't know whether I'm applying for jobs in the right or wrong way. I did certifications, courses, internships and projects on my resume and still no response. Can somebody guide me how I can get a job after the career gap? In what all ways can I make it possible? In which ways should I apply? What should I do differently? I'm really confused. Kindly help.

Most students collect certificates.

Very few collect real experience.

That’s the difference companies notice.
