Data and Analytics

I just started a new role that involves a lot of data work, but honestly… I’m not as good as everyone thinks I am. People assume I’m a pro because of my resume or the way I talk during interviews, but the truth is I’m still learning. Now I’m scared to ask for help because I don’t want them to think I was bluffing. How do you ask for help without looking incompetent? I really want to improve but also don’t want to ruin the impression they have of me.

I’m currently working in a finance industry as a junior tech, but I’m really interested in transitioning to a data analyst role one day. I enjoy working with data but feel like I’m missing the skills and direction to make the switch. If anyone’s made the jump or has advice on the best way to transition, I’d love to hear how you did it! Also, pls share the path that i need to walk thru to get there. Appreciate your help!

For those working as data analysts, what are the main skills and responsibilities that companies really expect? I’m interested in this career but not sure if it’s just about Excel and reports, or if there’s more to it. Also, what kind of challenges do data analysts usually face on the job? Would love to hear from anyone with experience about what’s truly important and what the role demands day-to-day!

Data analyst but slowly losing passion… money is good, but what’s next? Not gonna lie. The pay in this line is solid, but after 3 years, I feel like I’m just building dashboards and fixing Excel sheets daily. No spark anymore. 😞 I used to be excited learning new tools or analyzing trends, but now it’s all rinse and repeat. Is this just a phase? Or is it time to consider moving into something like data product, business strategy or even teaching? Curious if anyone else hit this plateau before.

Being a data analyst sounds cool… until you get drowned in last-minute requests. Every time someone says “it’s just a quick chart,” I know I’m not sleeping early that night. 😮‍💨 Working in data analytics feels like being on standby 24/7. The request will sound simple, but the data is always messy, the deadline is always yesterday, and somehow, the report needs to look “nice” too. Anyone else constantly like this? How do you set boundaries without sounding like you’re not a team player?

I’m really interested in exploring data analytics as a career. But honestly, I’m a bit lost about where to start. What kind of jobs fall under this field? Should I focus on roles like Data Analyst or consider others like Business Intelligence, Data Engineer, or even AI-related jobs? Also, do I need extra certifications or just build a strong portfolio? Any advice for a newbie trying to break into this space?

I’m currently a Sr. Data analyst looking to transition to an HR Data Analyst role. I’m experienced with Excel, including pivot tables, formulas, and charts, and find HRIS systems like Oracle, ADP, and Workday intuitive. What steps can I take to prepare for this transition and enhance my chance of getting hired? Any specific skills or knowledge areas I should focus on?

Working with this one female data analyst in our team, she's very good. She's sharp, detail-oriented & brings fresh perspectives that often challenge our usual approach. In a field dominated by men, her insights remind us that diversity isn't just a buzzword, it genuinely improves the quality of our work. Plus, her knack for storytelling with data helps us connect numbers to real-world impact, which clients love. Honestly, I wish we had more women in the team!

Is earning $4.5k for a fresh grad considered too high or too low? Trying to gauge the average earning for fresh grads here... hope I'm not the only one earning this much for my first job (genuinely think i can do better). Do you guys earn more or less than me? Do tell!! (only if you feel comfortable, totally get it if you're not)

I had a data analyst interview at a bank. The first interview with HR included behavioral questions like why I applied for the role and how I’d explain technical requirements to non-technical stakeholders. After completing some assessments, I’m now preparing for the final round with the manager. Can anyone share insights on what to expect in this round and how to best prepare?
