Guys i need advice from you gurus. I want to get a tech skill(s) to make more money in this country. Problem is, I have zero knowledge of any of the skills. Can I pull through? I'm a graduate. Which skill is best to start with considering I'm an amateur? I intend to get a laptop by September. A friend is advising me to look for a tech school to register and learn, is it wise? Any input will greatly help please, I'm very determined to learn please

Stop overthinking thinking things just start.

Thank God I changed all my saving to dollars this week at 1595 to the dollar

Good day all.
Does anyone here know about how to open an upwork account smoothly for a Nigerian user.
Get in touch let's discuss

To increase your chances of owning an Up work account use a business email and ensure your profile and skills section is very rich

They are quite rare. From my experience most of the startups are domiciled in Lagos

Microsoft does not work with Nigerian banks.
Ask your colleagues leaving abroad to do it for you. When they are done they can give you the login details

I had 150+ ground level, up my water tank it never gets to 100... maybe give it time

Yes after some days it stabilized to around 120Mbps
One thing I noticed the speed is at its maximum in the early hrs of the morning but begins to drop as the nights gets closer

I ordered my Starlink from Jumia and I reside in Omoku/Rivers State where I'm making use of the device.
Prior to mounting the device, at ground level when I did my speed test I got about 79 Mbps after mounting the device on a pole I was expecting to get at least above 100Mbps to my utmost surprise the speed dropped to below 70 Mpbs.

Please gurus in the house I need your help on how to troubleshoot the problem

My mom is from Ogba and to be honest the reason they claim not to be Igbo dies not hold water.
Even Chatgpt does not agree

Does this rubbish you wrote here make sense to you??

Why even your ogba get three dialect, why dem no influence other minority groups in Akwaibom, Calabar and Benue state that are also close to them

Would have considered it like 2 years ago . But now, I thank God for growth

Word of advice. Pls stay away from anything with the tag data science. If you want to work in the data field start with data analytics from there you can transition to data engineering or machine learning engineering.

Data science has no real bearing. Soon the amorphous field would be retired to the academia

This thread used to be my motivator when I started learning data analytics about 3 years ago. Hearing from other peoples success stories did keep me going. Although I've had a lot of missed golden opportunities 😭

I currently work as a PA(remote) to a cloud architect while I utilize the monthly Azure subscription my boss gives me to learn data engineering

Back then I took DA as a if I persish I persish subject because I felt there was nothing else worthwhile I could actually do

Foreign job with this meagre pay😕

That's because is very efficient

Any device that generates or receives power should be designed to have a vent or heat sink. Reason being to prevent damage to the electrical circuit

Why does the device not have a heat sink or vent

Some of the visuals I saw in the report has color alignment problem. Coolor.co is a good place to start

Power BI is not difficult to learn. You can start with YouTube videos. If you want to understand DAX the pragmatic works channel, power query is straight forward, for data governance Solutions abroad channel is good then to create beautiful visuals follow ' how to power bi' channel.
After that you can consider sitting for the PL-300 Microsoft certification. If you learn data modelling and power query well in power bi you wouldn't struggle with knowing how to use joins in SQL

Azure Purview can be used for data lineage because it automatically captures the lineage flow of data through different sources like data lakes and databases. For this reason, I wanted to work on writing an article on how I was able to do the task with data lineage inclusive but my subscription and the use of Azure Purview ALONE had consumed about 113 dollars.

I adviced myself to stopeet!!!😭

I figured if I could create a database having sensitive data like social security number (SSN) the sensitivity labels I created in MIP Portal would be picked up in the data map.

So I asked chatgpt to generate a ficitiotius table having SSN and other details. I then used the fictitious table to create a database in SQL server. Viola!! After scanning in Azure Purview data map the SSN was flagged as a sensitive data.

Doing the task was really daunting because it was my first experience working on the cloud 😁
Well... I was still able to create a data map that automatically classify's columns using regex and Microsoft built in default classification techniques.

Still on still, assigning sensitivity labels was still another subject matter that was hard... to grind. I struggled to understand how to assign sensitivity labels to the scanned data because creating sensitivity labels was done on the Microsoft Information Protection Portal. Each time I scanned my database both on premise and on the cloud the data map was unable unable to pick it up.

My client tasked me to familiarized myself with Azure and data governance using Azure Purview and I was required to create a data map in Azure Purview that maps azure SQL database(cloud) and SQL server database on premise with the default Adventure Works database.
Note this assignment was not for a project but with the intent to get acquainted with data governance.

You can consider cloud skills, enterprise analytics or data Engineering

The time frame of the project my client asked me if I could do elapsed but this was what drew me in to taking DE serious.

Due to the restriction on Nigerian debit cards, I couldn't use it to secure the 200 dollar Azure free credit and my cousin residing abroad tried to help but pulled out after he became suspicious when I asked him to use his phone number to complete the Azure free trial registration process.

One thing led to the other and the client that previously reached out to me stepped in to support me with Azure standard monthly subscription of 100 dollars

Connecting Snowflake to Tableau with the aid of an ODBC driver was hassle free but I couldnt figure out how to create a pipeline to connect Azure data logs to Snowflake

The decision to take the leap into data engineering came about when one of the clients I worked with in the past asked me if I could automate the movement of data from Azure active directory to snowflake and then to Tableau. During this period I
resigned from working with a colleague of mine whom we often do data science projects mostly for foreign Nigerian students. Doing the student projects was really time consuming as it was difficult balancing combining both. I even ran into problems trying to do it as the quality of the assignment I did for three students was really poor(6 assignments in total). This was because my attention span was divided

I have always wanted to become a data engineering expert because, I have been nursing the dream of establishing an enterprise analytics department for the government and developing a real time Plant condition monitoring tool. With time more ideas of projects/strat-ups would pop up in my head 😌😌

I can help you with doing it in Power BI.
What good thing about the Bi tool is that you have the option for refresh each time you load the data source with new data.
Say for instance if the data is stored in your local computer, share point or google drive. Each time you load/input new sets of data in addition to the old batch so long as your data source is connected to Power Bi. The tool allows to refresh.
If you want to go online Power BI allows you enjoy free trial for two months and with the free trial subscription you can view your dashboard online without having the need to turn on your PC. you can even refresh from your app or workspace.

I began making meagre earnings for my self from students and lecturers who often gave me their project data to work on and analyze. Mind you, prior to this I was actually teaching and earned about 20,000 naira as monthly salary. Afterwards, I realized teaching in secondary school was a complete waste of my time.

I decided to pursue analytics fulltime and I must confess that the skill puts bread on my table.
Although, I'm yet to get a full time data analytics role I have worked on projects I would never have dreamt of working on and lots of opportunities have been coming my way

I've been into analytics like for ever. I began analytics while in school when I started playing around with Matlab. My colleagues and lecturers started giving me their research work to analyze their data. My interest into data science got spiked after I adopted ANN to model the start-up phase of a gast turbine for my masters project using data from Afam power plant.

There are lots of information on YouTube on this
