Welcome to the Big Kat Lounge Podcast Episode 48 with Nick Rotich 🏦

Today's guest comes from the Greater Phoenix area where he is pursuing his Masters in Strategic Analytics.

He's a big data enthusiastist, an immigrant from Kenya, a father and husband always looking for new ways to accel at new challenges that he encounters. He moved to the USA without knowing people and is always open for networking opportunities to learn from others. Nick and I met during our time at Credit Suisse back in North Carolina. 

Some of our discussions touched upon the opportunities that we all have in this world where we can meet new people and make a living. The USA is a melting pot for entrepreneurial skills, and you can really see the results through hard work. We all have the tools and resources around us it’s just being able to continuously learn, network and maximize the time by connecting with the right people, pivoting with various roles and tasks we have to perform throughout our lives.

LinkedIn made connecting with people a lot easier like as if you know them. If you are looking for a company or role you can learn so much just by going through their page and reading upon posts.

80% data preparation & 20% is focused towards analytics in most large institutions.

There are so many different tools out there for us to learn but Microsoft Excel is basics first to be able to learn other complex tools. Large institutions are still spending a lot of their efforts in excel, so if you can understand the basics of excel it helps you to have a line of thought when it comes to learning Tableau, Microsoft BI or any other complex tools. The importance on how to manipulate data with pivot tables, & presentation views is key for storyboarding and being able to sort through data quickly. When you have an excel base you can learn the other tools.
