I've been getting hit up a lot for DE roles in the Healthcare domain. With everything going on, there will be a big need for data professionals in the Healthcare industry.
Personally, I went through final rd interviews w/ JP Morgan on Friday for a DE position, hoping to hear back from them in the next few days.

I interviewed at a couple of places. I wasn't ready for the level of data management they needed. This XML document Continuity of Care Document - Wikipedia that ain't nothing to play with.
Good luck on the interview.

Right now we're using it to create basic dashboards showing sales, number of products moved, defects.
Thx breh. I received the initial offer this morning, report date is June 1st. Going to start negotiations over the next few days. I'm following this blog post from Haseeb Qureshi for my negotiation strategy.
Ten Rules for Negotiating a Job Offer
I am responsible for the standard reporting packages for our general clientele and our VIP clientele. Also, I share SLA and on-boarding metrics for new and existing products. My team has a few Excel wizards and they have created a few macro-enabled workbooks to streamline the process a good deal so a lot of reports entail me clicking a button, checking the data to see if anything looks funky (and if so, investigate the Excel formulas and VBA, or digging into the SQL Server database for inconsistencies) and then sharing internally/externally. There are a lot of random ad-hoc requests each week that get knocked out as well. They come from marketing, sales, prospective clients, existing clients, HR, etc.
We are kind of like the gate-keepers of bringing context to data and so the company is over-reliant on us. However, Power BI is the Martin Luther of data at our company in that it is making data analysis and charting more accessible & less intimidating to the average person at our company.
I signed up for that PowerBI course like last month but haven't looked at a single video. Hopping in the new session starting today.
Edit: I've gotten clowned for using SAS, lol. But they also have some free content. It was advertised 4/8/2020 for 30 days. But I believe it's been extended. They have a free version of the Software on the Cloud.

I don't have the time to take on another course right now, but I enrolled in the Pluralsight + Microsoft partnership that I created a thread about. They definitely could've had a better roll out though because I don't think people are immediately realizing how much value is being provided for free. I don't know anything about Azure personally and I initially assumed it would be centered around something like computer networking certifications....
...But, after getting used to their website and how the learning curriculum is broken down (Multiple required courses for the same profession are bundled into Paths), I realize that these learning paths are basically holding your hand through the learning requirements for the new Microsoft certs replacing MCSA/MCSE certs. These are technically Azure-related but not directly.
For example, digging around a bit, I was able to find the entire Power BI path is free even though it isn't clearly listed in their roll out. It isn't that they are offering one or two hour-long courses to get your feet wet with Power BI. They have 34 hours of content guiding you through the process.
I think they may have purposefully been vague about what was free so that users wouldn't cherry pick their offerings, but you can eat off of this for real.
Helpful map showing how all the Azure Certs and Exams tie into each other

Good looks bro. I saw your thread & thought this was for Networking certs as well. I'll be enrolling hopefully others do as well.I don't have the time to take on another course right now, but I enrolled in the Pluralsight + Microsoft partnership that I created a thread about.

Julia is a competitor to Python and R in the Data Science. The difference between it and the other two is that Julia is a more like C++ in performance compared to R and Python.

Ain't shyt
Duly noted. Ironically C++ is the first programming language I earned. Appreciate it.
