What’s the most 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 a stakeholder can say to a data analyst?

After a while, certain stakeholder conversations become VERY familiar.

I wrote about 5 types I keep running into and what has helped me handle them better.

See how many you recognize 👀

I'd rather poke my own eyes out. 🙃

Question of the day:

Would you rather present in front of a group of 300+ colleagues?

OR

Go blind?

[Sarah | Data with Sarah @datawithsarah1]

@henry_pier37167 Exactly this! Asking the right questions up front can help solve a lot of back-and-forth and reiterations later on.

How much is there to actually learn in data analytics?

Way more than SQL, Excel, and dashboards.

The tools get you started.

Then come metrics, data quality, business context, stakeholder management, experimentation, and knowing what to question.

What would you add? 👀

[Sarah | Data with Sarah @datawithsarah1]

@officialladi_T Typicall SQL. My data lives in a database.

What data skill have you been meaning to learn but keep putting off?

SQL? Python? Power BI?

DataCamp is free until August 30, so this is a pretty good week to finally start 👀

Now that it's becoming more mainstream to use AI in our work, what AI tools do you use?

[Sarah | Data with Sarah @datawithsarah1]

@BlackburnRover @TMZ The data is incorrect. 🤓

[Sarah | Data with Sarah @datawithsarah1]

@MansiCodez Yes, we now need to focus on understanding what is being done and stress test it.

[Sarah | Data with Sarah @datawithsarah1]

@Ansh14225311 TikTok. I need my nightly doom-scrolling. 😆

[Sarah | Data with Sarah @datawithsarah1]

@GohilHardy AI can't replace your whole job. In most cases, anyways. The expectations have gotten higher and deadlines have become tighter. We still have to verify the outputs and reiterate, and then repeat. The work is always there.

[Sarah | Data with Sarah @datawithsarah1]

@mayuri_3015 Cursor. Though I admit they are interchangeable.

[Sarah | Data with Sarah @datawithsarah1]

@vheeorji22 Unless a FAANG company offers me a job, I will never work in an office again. 😅

[Sarah | Data with Sarah @datawithsarah1]

@officialladi_T Both. But preparation is a larger chunk of the puzzle.

[Sarah | Data with Sarah @datawithsarah1]

Mine is SQL Server or Access. Might as well go back to caveman days.

What is one data tool that, when listed in a job description, makes you immediately scroll away?
