Ⅰ. Regarding Employment as a Data Analyst
Q1. I am a job seeker aspiring to become a data analyst. People around me often say that the first company you join—the so-called "first start"—is very important. Since I want to work proactively and grow, I am hoping to get a job at a startup rather than a large corporation. I'm curious how I can develop an eye for good companies as a data analyst, and if the speakers have any personal tips for selecting a decent company!
Q2. Job postings often require experience in improving metrics through hypothesis setting and experimentation. How can a newcomer gain this kind of experience? I'm curious if it's possible to create these experiences indirectly without using actual corporate data!
Q3. What should I focus on when reading job postings on recruitment sites?
Q4. I'm curious about what is needed when attempting a career transition to a data analyst role from a related position that handles data but is not a data analysis position. (e.g., Marketer → Data Analyst)
Q5. I am considering resigning. To change my job to a data analyst, I feel like I would have to start as a new hire or an intern; is it okay to start that way?
II. Data Analyst Career Development
Q6. Where should a first-year data analyst focus more on for their career?
Q7. I'm curious to know what kind of tasks you were working on when you felt you were growing rapidly as a data analyst.
Q8. I'm curious to know what specific competencies and skills you are both honing as your "sharpest weapons" as analysts!
Q9. You mentioned that logic is the most important factor in data analysis. What methods would you recommend for developing that logical thinking ability?
Q10. I studied NLP data analysis and am currently in my third month at an NLP IT startup, but I am confused because I am working in a completely different role rather than data analysis. Should I prepare to change jobs before it's too late?
Q11. I'm curious if you have a role model. I'd also like to know what your dream is for the future and what kind of roadmap you are drawing to get there.
