munstaqq: I hope this encourages you. 1. Keeping going, don't stop. Get your hands dirty by doing projects. Create a GitHub repository, get on Kaggle, post the stuffs you've done. Put your tasks out there. 2. When you feel confident enough, and backed by the array of projects in your portfolio, then you start applying for positions abroad. Yes do that, don't feel shy or not good enough, just make good applications. You'll get a lot of rejections, but keep going, all you need is to get just one. 3. When you eventually get one, you'll be given a task to do. This is where you shine. Do the task to the best of your ability. You'll be given an opportunity to present your results. Notice that I didn't mention about your degree yet? Well yes, that's cos in these countries, they first want to know what can you do, can you get the job done? And then they'll look, is he/she educated? Those places it's not about the best certificate for the job, it's about the best fit for the job. 4. And if you do land the job, good for you. They'll relocate you and even your family. And why will they do that? Cos you my friend are the best fit for the job, and they won't spare resources in recruiting your talent. Good luck. God bless you always. Btw...... Accounting is numerical and would be a good foundation for a data Analyst 11 Likes |

wealthyhenry: Hey man! I’m really busy these days, and do not have the time to write much. I only wanted to point out that you will have a great prospect as a data scientist than as a data analyst. Data science is more demanding, has comparably better pay, a shortage occupation, and more elite. Data Scientists could do the works of data analyst, but not vice versa. You may want to do further research on the aforementioned. I hope that it’s clear enough? 2 Likes |

This came just in time. I already have advanced Excel skills, and I'm currently learning Python and SQL and hope to start Tableau and Power BI once I'm done. Can you share resources with me or even mentor me? I'd be elated to get your number. |

1stNumeroUno:Not really. Just ensure you learn enough to give you confidence in using Excel for data exploration, data analysis and data presentation/visualization. Those are the three cardinals of data science. Even when you start using programming language to analyse data, you'll only be doing data exploration, analysis and visualization. Programming is faster than GUI apps, it gives you more flexibility; you can read data from APIs and databases and most importantly, it is fast so you can work with big data without fear of "Program not responding" or "Program has crashed". 4 Likes |
