Thank you!
I disagree. I think in real life it’s the same exact job
I want the job that pays the most but has the least amount of responsibility.
What if someone has a business background and obtains the skills of a data analyst? That’s what I’m doing right now, I have degrees in business and I’m currently learning data analyst’s tools and knowledge.
Are business analyst and business intelligence analyst the same role?
Please can some recommend business analysis skill
I realized that the secret to making a million is making better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Car or that vacation just yet and that mindset helps me make more money invest:ng. For example last year I invested 70k in blue chip stocks and cryptos (with the help of my advisor of course) and made about 380k, but guess what? I put it back and traded with his again and now I'm rounding up close to a million. Delayed gratification always pays off
well… I pretty much do all the responsibilities you mentioned, so what am I? Data Business Analyst??? 🙂
I'm sorry are you saying Anal-Lyst
Or you could just hire an data analyst that has social skills as opposed to the stereotypical introvert data nerd. 😂
A nice short video, thank you. What would you say are the difference between a data analyst and a data scientist?
But do not these requirements for a data analyst position or for a data scientist? Skills like Azure/AWS for example…
Hi Alex, i have a Bachelors in ICT and a Masters in IT Management. i have
project Management experience, worked as a technical sales man and also IT Technical support. I want to be an Analyst and need advise if my background will be better suited to a Business Analyst or Data Analyst. Thank You.
I have these both skillset.. Sometimes, I am comparing which is better for me to pursue. But for me both are fine. Maybe the factor also based what is more in demand based on the corporate world needs.
Thank you for this video 😃

Thank you. That was was very informative.
Thank you for this, I'm a BA who wants to switch to a DA in a few months, so this helps me think of how to make my resume look more appealing.
I have tech skills like R, python, SQL, power BI, MSvDynamics 365 but I will like to work as a Business analyst first before switching to a Data Analyst along the line. Really need to understand business processes and be able to translate customers needs to a data analytics problem. Have a BSc in business information systems.
is this salary to e spent in USA or where? 35k for bachelor degree is very bad
Unfortunately job titles dont match job descriptions because of who writes the job description and also who is managing the employees. Business analyst and system analyst can be the same when management does not define the appropriate role and functions of those doing the job.
who comes up with the KPIs?
So when you say Data Analyst analyzes data, you mean do statistical analysis on the data?
a Question sitting in my head for months, explained under 4 minutes
Where does a major in Data science fall under ?
Do u think master's in b.a or d.a is worth the fees
I have a bachelor's in mechanical
And mine course name is business data analysis 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hello
Thank you for the brief and really informative content. I just finished my first ever data related course “IBM Data Science Certificate” on Coursera. But I’m not confident enough to start a new career. What should I learn next to become confident enough? Thanks in advance
This is good; thanks.
Started with a 1 year course of Business Analyst and I’ll follow it up with Data Analyst. These 2 fields experience a severe shortage of staff in Europe.
Thank you for your post. And you are spot on. I am a clinical business system analyst lead. and part of our requirements are creating the business requirements, functional requirements and non functional requirements. We do not solution that is for the data Analysts. However in Dallas the mid level is around 75k I am at 117K. However I am the clinical lead and been performing this roll starting in 2006. Again thank you for the post
I'm looking at a post grad that combines both business analytics and data science. I'm looking to get out of nursing and maximize my income . I'm worried because I have the personality of a Dominatrix but I want to be able to get along with people. I just can't tolerate them for very long.
I'm worried about getting into this because I can't tolerate people for very long.
Aye, goldberg senpai…..😅🙃
Are there any certifications for Business Analyst? I currently have my lean belt and am looking to adding analytics to complement them.
Thank you for this video
Any course for business analyst ??? That can be done ..?
Possible to get into this with a bsc in accounting?
You can acctually take courses in these courses you dont need to go to university
Many business schools teach their students R/Python, Tableau/Power BI, Data Modeling, and Excel as part of their business analytics major. Just thought I should let you know since your Skills slide could make you think otherwise. Great video and thanks for explaining the difference!
Hey Alex thanks a lot for this video, really informative and perfect timing as I have recently graduated and want to enter the market. I am currently trying to learn SQL, as I worked only with Python and R during my master's in Business Administration. You have basically assisted with my decision to focus more on Business Analyst positions. My question is where would you suggest to start with mastering SQL assuming you were a sort of newbie like myself. So far I have had trouble with that, only watched some videos on YouTube and even finding the right version (I work with a MacBook Pro) has been a challenge. Would highly appreciate your input. Thanks in any case!
aku nyasar cok😭btw perasaan gw beliau dokter deh,kenapa jadi ganti profesi🗿
Can a bachelor's degree in sociology work as a Data analyst or Business analyst?
Great and brief explanation! Thanks!
Alex, I am 2 weeks away from a learning program at TAMU. A 6 month training program to earn certificates towards Data Analytics. I’m super excited and nervous. I will continue to watch your videos for direction and information. Thank you brother for the inspiration
who comes up with the KPIs?
