https://www.phdgoingindustry.com/sixweekchecklist
Are you a grad student who's thought about becoming a data analyst?
In this video, I share three reasons why I think a career in data analysis is a perfect fit for many grad students. The three reasons are:
1. Higher pay than a postdoc
2. Strong career progression possibilities
3. Variety of industries
There are also three obstacles that grad students will likely face if they decide to start a career as a data analyst. They are:
1. You'll need to learn a new language (like SQL)
2. You might need to create a portfolio project
3. Humility is required
