Por cuestiones de tiempo no logré obtener contrato de aprendizaje del sena (adso), por lo cual mi opcion de grado es pasantia y estoy en ese proceso actualmente.

Poseo un titulo previo (administracion de empresas en la unal) mi intencion es ir al area de datos (analisis y mas adelante ir a data engineer).

mi duda es si al no entrar al mercado por el contrato del sena sea imposible entrar al mercado, qué consejos me pueden dar desde su experiencia?

Que tanto impedimento es la edad (38)?.

Agradezco sus consejos.

Had my GOC (Round 1) for the Data Analyst Apprenticeship (DAA) on 16th Aug. It was a 1-hour round with 30 questions and no-camera proctoring. It was more on aptitude, reasoning, and verbal. Anyone with similar updates? Or any updates about the next rounds?

Would love to hear about the next rounds.

This space is for 2027 DAA support, and I would love to hear everyone's perspectives below.

Timelines:

Application Date: Jul 22 2026

GOC (Google Online Challenge): 16 Aug 2026

Current Status: Waiting for results of GOC and Next Rounds

1. I will fill my portfolio with serious projects that bring value.

2. To show my business knowledge, I will write something, a paper or any other possible thing, where I showcase my business knowledge.

3. I have a Product Owner background, so I somewhat have soft skills.

The core of it all is showing Hiring managers that I can get stuff done, I have the knowledge and experience without job experience. Showing I can do tech side and business side.

Caveat: I left my IT/Programming profesion school in 3rd year (out of 4), so technically I have basic education. I write in my resume that I still graduated.

If I don't get a job even with lying, I will lie more and see where I actually get interviews just to see if maybe Masters would help.

Title: Looking for Data Analyst Opportunities – Fresher | India
Hi everyone! 👋
I’m a fresher actively looking for Data Analyst / Junior Data Analyst / Business Analyst opportunities in India.
I have hands-on experience with:
📊 Excel
🐍 Python
🗄️ SQL
📈 Power BI
🔍 Data Cleaning & EDA
📉 Data Visualization & Reporting
I’m currently building projects to strengthen my practical analytics skills and would love to start my career in a data-driven organization.
I’m open to full-time, internship, hybrid, or remote opportunities, especially in Delhi NCR / Noida / Gurgaon, but I’m also open to opportunities across India.
If your company is hiring freshers or if you know of any relevant openings, I’d really appreciate a referral or lead. 🙏
Resume: Available on request.
Thank you! Any advice, referral, or opportunity would mean a lot. ❤️

Every SQL course I’ve tried taught me SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY…

Cool. But none of them taught me what to do when a PM sends:

>

…and then you discover two dashboards disagree, the data looks suspicious, and suddenly “quick one” has become your entire morning. 😅

So I built Strata.

It’s basically a fake tech company with a fake team, messy data, Slack messages, conflicting evidence, and a 90-day “first job” simulation.

You start on Day 1 as the new Analytics Engineer and have to actually work the problem instead of just answering questions someone already knows the answer to.

Before you find out whether you’re right, you have to commit to:

• your answer
• your reasoning
• how confident you are

Because getting SQL right is one thing.

Knowing when you should trust yourself is a whole different skill.

By the end, I want you to know whether you’re the “I’m 99% sure” person who is wrong 40% of the time… or the “I have no idea” person who somehow keeps getting everything right. 😂

I’ve put the first samples up for free. No email required:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Khv2e_dSuWMYvp-mGcgyIM6Jb1sG-3fQ/view?usp=sharing

I’m a solo builder, so there’s a very real possibility I’ve spent way too much time building something that is only interesting to me. 🙃

So before I build through Day 90, I’d genuinely love to know:

• Did you actually finish it, or did you quietly disappear halfway through?
• Did anything feel fake, forced, or too “training course-y”?
• Would you voluntarily come back tomorrow?
• And most importantly… would you want to do 89 more days of this?

Not selling anything here.

Hello everyone,after graduation, I joined a startup where I worked for 2 years and 10 months — 1.5 months as an intern and the rest as a full-time employee. My role was mainly in support, where I worked on SAP Analytics Cloud. I resigned because I wasn’t getting meaningful work and was also dealing with a lot of stress. It has now been 8 months, and during this time I’ve been preparing for Data Analytics roles. I’ve learned SQL, Power BI, Excel, and Python. I have a BSc in Computer Science and I’m currently completing an online MBA in Data Science and Analytics, which will be completed next month. I’ve been actively applying for analytics jobs but haven’t received much response so far. With the current market and my career gap increasing, I’m now wondering if I should switch to another domain.

Do you think I should continue pursuing Data Analytics or consider switching to another domain?

ok so I started my masters in data analytics and AI back in 2022 and somewhere in there I just... started letting AI do everything. like not "help me debug this" but actually just generate the whole thing while I copy paste and move on. and now, two-ish years in, I sit down to write code and my brain just goes blank. like actually empty. not "I don't know the syntax" empty, more like a wall goes up and I get anxious, almost want to close the laptop and never open it again.

what's messing with me is the theory side is still totally fine, actually good even. give me a paper or some concept to chew on and I'm locked in for hours, no problem. it's literally just the doing part, sitting there writing/debugging code myself, that turns into this weird panic thing.

I keep having this thought like "maybe I should just restart the same degree but ban myself from AI completely" just to see if there's anything actually there under all the ChatGPT scaffolding. idk if that's a real solution or just a dramatic idea I have at 1am.

has anyone actually gone through this and come out the other side? did going cold turkey help or did it just feel horrible for a while first? kind of terrified I'm gonna graduate with a masters and not actually be able to do the thing the masters is supposedly in.

Not sure if this is the right place but I've seen people post like this before so here goes.

I spent the last 10 months working as a data analyst at a super-app in Nigeria — the kind of company that does ride-hailing, food delivery, grocery, and logistics all at once. I was the person pulling SQL from the database, building Power BI dashboards for the ops team, figuring out why users were dropping off the payment flow. Found a 12% revenue gap nobody had spotted. Cut delivery times by 15% through some DAX modeling I built in Power BI. Not glamorous work but it was real and it mattered.

I'm based in Nigeria and I'm looking for a fully remote role. I know that sentence makes some people click away and that's fine. But if your team actually hires globally I'd love to talk.

Stack: SQL, Python (Pandas mostly), Power BI, Tableau, Excel. Finishing my PL-300 right now. I have a portfolio — GitHub and Notion — if you want to see actual work and not just a list of tools.

Open to data analyst, BI analyst, product analyst, operations analyst. Honestly anything where the data is used to make decisions and not just to make a dashboard that nobody opens.

Drop a comment or DM if you know something. Appreciate it.

I applied for associate analyst role in amgen on campus hiring. I want to know what kind of Online Assessment questions they ask ? It will be really helpful if anybody knows.

I am a graduate student and will be graduating next summer with a Masters in IT and two concentrations in data analytics and ai. My bachelors was in Health Informatics. I am worried about getting an entry level job as I have no experience. I live in Georgia and do school online. I Work two jobs and am looking for any advice. I’ve looked all around at what certifications to get but my situation seems hopeless

I'm thinking about training at the intersection of data analytics and design, by centring on infographics and data communication.

I'm wondering from anyone who works in this field if there is opportunity here, and whether a masters of a design discipline or statistics/data science is better suited?

Thank you

I feel a bit stuck in my career and would really appreciate some guidance. I completed a Master’s in Business Analytics, but because I was juggling work and studies at the same time, I don’t feel that I was able to make the most of the course or build a strong foundation.

I’m currently working in Marketing and Operations, mainly because the company I’m with is willing to sponsor me, so I’ve stayed in this role. However, I feel that I’m not learning or developing much professionally, and I don’t want to become stagnant or irrelevant in the long term.

I genuinely want to build a strong career and develop skills that will give me better opportunities in the future. My main uncertainty is around what direction I should take. I studied some SQL, Power BI and Python during my Master’s, but I’ve forgotten a lot of it. I’m not sure whether I should go back and rebuild my Business Analytics skills or focus more on AI and emerging technologies.

Given my background, what would you recommend I focus on over the next 1–2 years? Should I strengthen my foundations in SQL, Power BI, Python and analytics first and then move into AI, or would it make more sense to pursue a different career path that combines my current experience in Marketing and Operations with my Business Analytics background?

I’d also appreciate recommendations on any courses, certifications, technical skills or practical projects that would genuinely improve my employability rather than simply adding more qualifications to my resume.

I’m feeling quite lost and demotivated at the moment, so I’d really value honest and practical advice on what direction you think would be most suitable for me. If you need more information about my current role, skills, interests, work experience or long-term goals, I’m happy to answer any questions so we can work out a realistic career path.

I honestly don’t know where else to ask, so I thought I’d try Reddit.
My husband works as a Data Analyst and has around 8 to 10 years of experience. He has worked with SQL, Python, Power BI, PostgreSQL, Excel, Oracle and other data tools.
Things at his current company are not going well and I’m really worried about what’s going to happen. I’ve been trying to help him find something else for quite some time now. I’ve applied to jobs, searched LinkedIn, checked remote jobs, contacted recruiters and looked into jobs abroad, but it feels like we are getting nowhere.
We are from Pakistan and he is open to remote work or relocating to another country if there is a genuine opportunity with visa sponsorship.
I know there are a lot of posts like this on Reddit, but I’m honestly just hoping someone might have some advice or know of a company that is actually hiring Data Analysts internationally.
If anyone has been in a similar situation and found a way through it, I’d really appreciate hearing how you did it. And if you happen to know about any job openings, I would be very grateful for a lead.
Thank you for reading. ❤️

Hi everyone, I have a Master’s in Bioinformatics and a background in Computer Science, and I’m currently looking to start my career in healthcare data analytics/healthcare analytics in India.
I have experience with Python, SQL, Excel and Power BI through projects, but I’m finding it difficult to get entry-level opportunities.
I’d really appreciate advice from people currently working in healthcare analytics, especially on how you got your first role, what skills companies actually look for, and whether there are any entry-level opportunities or teams I should look into.
Thanks!

Hello I’m a 2nd year med student in Europe, and I’ve been looking for remote job opportunities to start studying the skills needed to apply and actually get job interviews(I have no skills or knowledge in none of the fields rn but I’m very interested in learning)
I’ve been reading about the healthcare data analysis during last week and I found it very inspiring, keen to actually learn.

But then I’ve looked here in Reddit and everyone says that there’s so much competition that at this point it’s not even worthy anymore and that’s very sad, especially because seems to be one of the only legit online jobs right now(everyone talks about selling digital products in Etsy, forex trading, dropshipping.. but to me none of this sounds right)

So my question is, do you think it’s actually impossible to find a job once you get the skills and real projects or it is possible with a lot of patience and discipline?

If I should give up, which are your suggestions in my position?

Thank you so much for your attention

It just seems so saturated, competitive and confusing on what employers want for DA. Ive been networking, and trying to get my foot in the door, and it’s been difficult.

Granted, I have a BS in computer science and I’ve been interested in DA and Analytics Engineering for about a year now. I updated my portfolio with 3 projects and even have m experience with my internship. Unfortunately still nothing.

Has anyone noticed or experienced the same thing. What keeps motivated to keep pursuing DA?

Thank you guys and have a great day!

Waiting for a response from Highmark/engen

Hello, I had my interview in late July and it’s now August 17. I wanted to know if Highmark/Engen usually take this long to get back to you after the first interview? Should I go ahead and mark this as a rejection?
