I know this is a long-shot, but it occurred to me as I prepare for yet another shift at a retail store giving it literally everything I've got and then some (and ending up with a sleep deficit and feeling so exhausted I can barely crawl to bed) for a whopping $15/hr, I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask if anyone has any leads for a #DataAnalyst position.
It turns out a great deal of my prior experience was of similar activities. I'm working on my "google certificate" as a data analyst but tbh progress has been incredibly slow as I deal with one life issue after another. This is also costly for me since there's a monthly fee through the 3rd-party provider hosting the google courses.
Yes.. I'm asking to skip ahead to the part where I'm no longer earning starvation wages anymore.
I'm currently looking for new work. I have a little over a decade's experience with various forms of SQL, and almost that much with Python, Tableau and other technology. I am very experienced with stakeholder management, requirements gathering, communication and the other things that we all know actually matter more than the coding part.
My last job title was analytics engineer, but I've been called a data engineer, analyst, DVA, etc. Different companies define the borders between those disciplines differently anyway. I have worked as a visualisation trainer and a SQL trainer, and I've done major database migration work.
I live in London, UK; I'm happy to take remote work elsewhere as long as it doesn't suddenly pivot to three days a week in the office in some far-off place or something.
I would prefer not to do unethical shit but there's no such thing as ethical work under capitalism, so we all do our best. My SME experience is predominantly in the logistics industry, and there are no saints there.
I don't do blockchain. I DO do fixing your shit after some idiot bought an overhyped product and wrecked everything with it. I absolutely do helping to break down silos and train new people. I guarantee that I will attempt to unionise your workplace. (I might fail at that.)
Kidding aside, every tool has its own #superpowers and #shortcomings, and I know that Power BI can do certain things that Tableau can't do, but I'm also sure that the reverse is true as well.
Erin and I frequently talk about the #ToolsAndTechniques we use at work during our lunches and evening walks, and I'm genuinely looking forward to #learning more about #TheDarkSide from her, as we continue honing each other's minds like iron sharpening iron. ⚔️
Hi! After studying chemistry, I’ve spent the last twenty five years in IT, first as a #Web1.0 programmer and #sysop during the 90’s, then in #itsupport and #dataanalyst roles this century.
I read “My Side of the Mountain” and “The Mysterious Island” as a kid and have always been fascinated with a diy approach to civilization: #camping, #gardening, #hamradio, and #brewing.
