i was told the same but i have mokan jare.... Hiss

Can we safely say the information is legit?

Guys what do you think about dbt(data build tool) and looker?

FanOfMyself:
He is software developer.
I'm also a software developer and I have two jobs which are both remote. Both companies are in Lagos while I am in Abuja trying to secure another one with a company in the USA through their Nigerian partner who are training us. Though one of the two companies are kinda shaking but I am still their employee.
Bottom line is for you to learn any IT related skills as it's the new gold mine.

Boss are there similar opportunities for Data analyst too? Specifically Power BI

Good morning everyone, please is it true that there's an embargo on recruitment? Excluding security agencies

Wow.. So this is it.. Till next year.. It is well.. Even the FRSC we no fit get.

Chicky34:
Why everywhere come quiet like this, whataguan?

Morale is low.. Many have hustled, some even paid and nothing worked out.

Others are weary of hearing updates that has no benefits to them

People are getting worn out. But we won't relent.

Not getting a federal government job isn't the end of the world.

Davecas007:
Is that true?
Then who are those that owns the slots that are in training already?

Co ask

Ugoc3:
From an unreliable source.. another list of of frsc applicants is expected on the 18th of October

Chaii God please do it for us

Hi Everyone,

We are launching a platform to help users build projects for your portfolio and to master your craft.

We collaborate with experienced data scientists, data engineers and BI/Data Analysts to compile projects resembling real world projects. We are looking to have a free tier and paid tier. The free tier will give you access to projects, case studies and datasets. The paid tier will give you access to mentor guided projects. You can view multiple videos from our mentors guiding you. The videos walk you through the project problem statement, possible considerations to make, what models you may want to consider etc. In addition to this, you can post questions regarding any challenges you are encountering and receive quick feedback from our mentors. You can collaborate and chat with other users and lastly, if you submit your project you will receive feedback to help you figure out what you need to improve.

Our mentors are experienced data scientists working for big companies across Africa and abroad. We charge a monthly fee of $15 for our paid tier.

Interested to know what people think about this. Granted I haven't shared the link and only just walking you through how it works.

How do you see this platform helping you in becoming/upskilling your data science/data engineering skills

As someone looking for mentorship and a platform to build and showcase projects. This is a welcome idea.

henrymorebaba:
These ones are Marshals. Not officers.

Thanks so much.. Very helpful.

Do you have any idea when officers will start?

Please what's going on with FRSC?

Hi guys, anyone who has dataset one could use to build portfolio projects?

or can point me where i could get, sales is way too common. I need something more unique.

Iseddy:
Hi guys, please do we have anyone that is into Amazon web service (AWS) here? I really need a roadmap to learn it.

Started recently too, as someone said below start with the foundations on YouTube first. There is also a free fundamental course on udacity.. Just Google 'udacity cloud computing free'.

You might need to create a AWS account to practice and follow along but isn't necessary. Incase you need to, avoid using credit card of an account you have money in.. Just leave at least a dollar inside. Good luck to us both.

Kooldon:
Good evening house. I really appreciates @Ejiod for creating this post and I believe strong data analysts/scientists have been birthed by this thread. I would kindly ask those that have benefited from this should also share their experiences here and how many interviews have they got. Finally, I have been reading in between lines from page one and I am passionately ready to start this journey. As a baby in the house, please any useful materials that you have been using video, ebooks, files etc pls kindly drop it on my mail for me. I am starting from Excel first.
obongemem03@gmail.com. Thank you

Didn't get any formal interviews. Was recommended for a job unrelated to Data but the need for a data analyst arose and since they already knew from the previous interview for the initial position that I dabbled in Data analysis, they set up another interview for the Data analyst position. Passed and got the job.

Mostly advanced excel stuff (formulas, v-lookup, data entry, tweaking customized excel templates).

For my own sake I optimized so many processes(collection, cleaning, analysis, presentation) to make my job easier, could have used python but I was weak in excel and decided to actually master excel, later on I shifted my workload to Power BI because of Power query but I could still use excel to do what I needed.

NOTE: They don't actually care what software or tech stack you use. Just get them the data they need when they request.

I hope my little experience helps. Anyone is free to ask questions.

Hi everyone, ai am back again..

I would like to ask if there's any way one can earn passively from data analysis/analytics

kunleiky:
You should upload your reports/visuals to powerbi.com as you can always easily share the link with anyone
Maximize your LinkedIn profile. Use it to share your work. It's not for people in administration or so-called professional fields alone.
As far as I know, you can save any file of any format on GitHub. Github is a must-have for tech peeps.
These platforms are good for showcasing your work.

Really didn't know Github could save .pbix files. Thanks

Hello guys, love this thread and supportive community.

This is for our experienced Analysts in the House, How does one go about Creating a portfolio in Power BI and Excel. I feel i am good enough to apply for jobs but dont have a way to show potential employers what I can do.

Thanks

Sellout:
look at the skills they requested. Those are the skills you need.

It takes time to get all of those skills, it is well. We wont relent though.

Sellout:
Anyway for those having doubts on pursuing a career in data analytics, you don't have to be waiting for Nigeria companies. A company abroad reached out to me on LinkedIn to offer a salary of 85,000 usd per year. Its a rewarding career really.

There must be something wrong I'm doing on LinkedIn.

I keep making posts about my progress in Power BI, maybe I should do more.

Is Power BI alone enough to get a reasonable job?

PS...I am currently employed but want to make a transition to Data. Analytics.

Have you been able print it out?

Please does frsc pay upfront after camp and how much? Thank you ��

.

My decision is much clearer. Thank you.

Barbiturate:
It doesn't sound stupid. You asked a valid question.
Go for road safety. Govt jobs have job security than private companies and road safety pays more than that your private company. You will have time for other side businesses.
A cousin who is a govt worker(health sector) in Abuja, has been in the east for a week now for some private runs.

Thank you. I really respect the advice of those who help out on this thread.

juri:
Go for the FRSC. Private sector can dump you anytime. Even the well established ones. However, if your plans for the future involves you wanting to be on your own like starting a business, consultancy services etc and not necessarily having a long career and then retire, then you may want to consider the private job, after all according to you it pays more. Off course other factors may need to be considered by you alone.

I haven't yet but want to make up my mind incase it clicks.

Bobbyunitedfc:
Abeg do u mind telling us how u got the frsc job?

Hi everyone... May all our wishes for a better job come true. Good work to those who are selflessly helping others.. May you all be rewarded amen.

I have a dilemma I need advice on.

Between FRSC and a private job paying above 100k with high potential for growth, which should be better?

I know it sounds stupid or something but I can't believe I'd be asking this same question till I found myself in such situation.

Please what is the FRSC pay for graduates?

Teejay13:
Your laptop battery plug is here for you!

Send me a DM on 07038517455

Please I need battery for my dell e7450.

New or fairly used.

Misscheery:
Most words are best left unsaid!

Alright then.. Godspeed �� ��

Misscheery:
Good day all..

Pls those who got slots should help me. Am ready to cooperate financially....

I have noticed your posts for a long while now. I believe you have your money right? so what is the hold up with getting the job. I believe there are people who have slots here watching your posts or is there something I'm missing. Just curious because I have an interest here too.

Please Anyway to embed WhatsApp link on nairaland?

uzedo1:
I am enjoying your story. I like how you try to give complete details of every experience you have encountered.

On the video part. I don't think you can upload video directly on nairaland. I doubt if there database can carry the size. It might slow or crash it.

However, you can create a YouTube account, then upload the video to YouTube, which you will embed the link on nairaland.

So when you're playing the video, it's coming from YouTube database but showing on nairaland.

From your analysis, NPP will be very efficient from this stale method Nigeria is using to generate power.

I will like to know your thoughts on Wind Turbine & Solar System if those can also be implemented since they won't be costly like NPP

I read somewhere, last year or so where Germany or one European country were begging & willing to pay their citizens to use power because it was too much.

What power system do they use?

Any new method to embed WhatsApp link on nairaland posts yet?
