Get into Data Analytics NOW!

[Gloxina]

It's not a technical skill! But good look getting STEM people to take liberal arts seriously. *goes off on rant...*

Folks don’t understand how those courses contribute to making you more well-rounded

Essentially folks need to have EQ; need to know how to not only do the work and create reports, but communicate and be personable and know how to explain their findings and how those findings will effect the company. Make it more than numbers and graphs on a page.

Like back in the day when ppl would crack jokes about “the IT guy”. Great at his job and can fix anything, but can’t hold a conversation and has as much personality as a piece of cardboard.

What would happen if the IT guy (in this case data analyst or engineer) was as engaging as the guy in sales?

Thanks as always. You always explain things well

I think it depends. The nature of the work means you gotta spend a lot of hours staring at a screen, preferably without being interupted. A lot of them aren't gonna be that personable. But usually the ones that are pretty engaging either move up, or move into technical presales.

Right. That’s kinda what was being discussed tho. Folks with the analytical skills but lacking something that helps them perform the role in a more well-rounded way, which would ultimately lead to, as you said, moving up, etc.

Yea, the ones that don't move up also don't really want to move up either, so at least you know you'd be unique i f you had a good amount of tech and good amount of soft skills

Mark Cuban. Knew enough about software. But it’s is ability to get his point across that netted him billions.

I stopped pursuing my accounting degree when I found out about data jobs

All that shyt is boring to me. I have a Masters in a STEM degree and worked as a Data Scientist for a while before I switched to Software Engineering. I think SWE is a better career overall.

Also, I think this AI buzz will die down within 5 years and no SWE jobs are really under threat of AI
