If you're reading this you probably either:
1. Want a job in data. 
2. Want a friend in data.
3. Need a data analyst. 

If you're #1, I was you, just one year ago! I've shared how I went from beginner to experienced data professional since the beginning.

Its my goal to create the kind of content a younger version of me would have wanted to consume!

#2, thanks for being here! Feel free to give me a wave. Lets be social!

#3's, hello 👋. If you haven't yet, check out my portfolio site, or my Annie's Analytics company page on here where I offer consulting services.

Heres my story. 

In February of 2022, I decided to learn data analytics for fun. I created a Tik Tok account, and started documenting my journey to learn this new hobby (@anniesanalytics). 

Very soon, I realized that every day I was waking up and just wanting to write SQL, build visualizations, learn Python.... Work with data! So, I decided that once I finished graduate school (in Healthcare) in July, I was going to become a data analyst. 

Along the way, I have shared here and on Tik Tok everything I can about what it's like to learn data analytics, and how you can do it for free or at least very cheaply. I've shared about the ups and downs of job searching. I've even shared about how I have built a portfolio, and set myself up as a real analyst. 

Now I also do YouTube videos, especially my series where I invite other data analysts to have a coffee chat with me, but we live stream it! We talk about our journeys into data and what our jobs look like now. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3wIL0Blsv2vf8aAjTQXo017YntAXqrZc


Want to see my Portfolio as it was when I got my first job in analytics? I left it here in exactly the same state that it was when I got my job in July of 2022 to serve as an example to you, if you are a job seeker now! https://anniesanalytics.wixsite.com/annie-nelson/projects-6

Everyone wants AI agents.

But almost nobody has the workflow to support them.

And honestly, I get it. The hype is real.

We’re entering an era where AI isn’t just a chatbot anymore. It can do things: 

- Prep data
- Build logic
- Run analysis, 
- Even chain steps together on its own.

That’s why everyone keeps throwing around words like “AI workflows” and “Agentic Analytics.”

It’s not just jargon. Not anymore.

Rather, it’s describing a shift where analytics stops being a manual, tool-hopping grind and starts becoming something that feels closer to having an intelligent co-worker sitting inside your data stack.

𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺:

Most companies aren’t set up for that future.

Not even close.

Because even if you hand an AI agent superpowers, it can’t magically navigate:

→ 14 versions of the same dataset
→ Conflicting metric definitions
→ Siloed business logic
→ Or workflows that still depend on begging another team for access

It’s a workflow problem, more than anything.

And it’s the reason so many teams get excited about agent-driven analytics, but can’t actually adopt it in a meaningful way.

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘂𝗽𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Prophecy is showing how AI-native workflows on Databricks can shrink analysis timelines from weeks to minutes.

- Business teams get autonomy.
- Platform teams keep governance.
- Analysts stop babysitting pipelines.

𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆: It’s what people think Agentic Analytics looks like, but implemented in a real enterprise environment.

If you’ve been curious about how AI agents actually fit into modern analytics, I'd check this out.

There’s a huge delusion about bootcamps and courses.

A lot of people assume taking one will get them a job.

But that’s not actually how the hiring process works.

You take courses and enroll in bootcamps to learn skills.

And ideally, also:
• Gain practical experience
• Build a portfolio of projects
• Navigate the job market and stand out

The skills qualify you for the job and the rest is what’s meant to help you actually land a job.

Now that doesn’t mean that having a bootcamp cert on your resume can’t help. It might. That just shouldn’t be what you’re banking on (and trust me, plenty of people do bank on it).

And I’ll say this, when it comes to bootcamps, my favorite is definitely the 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 by Avery Smith.

It has the best value of any other program I’ve come across.

Not only does he teach you the fundamental technical skills you need to know to become a Data Analyst, but you’ll also get access to stuff like this:

• Hands-on projects
• Resume and LinkedIn help
• A private community
• Weekly office hours
• Networking meetings
• An internship opportunity (HUGE!)

…and more, but those are some of the highlights.

His December cohort starts soon, so if you’re looking to end the year with a bang, now’s your chance.

You can check out the program here 👉 https://lnkd.in/gR9kq_r5

♻️ Repost if you know someone who could benefit

PS - Alumni students, how was your experience? What was your favorite part of the program?

This is the BEST time of year to learn new data skills.

Why? Black Friday = 50% all 600+ DataCamp courses.

And it's happening right now.

(Just a few more days!)

𝗥𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 → https://lnkd.in/gRjYRUu2

I'm a huge fan of DataCamp and started learning with them years back. I still use their courses and still love them.

𝗜'𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀:

(Great if you’re trying to change careers, break into data, or learn AI)

Data Analyst → https://lnkd.in/g2G9YgCU

𝗢𝗿 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗿𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝘁:

Python: https://lnkd.in/gy-QZRcp
SQL: https://lnkd.in/gmdS3rwb

These are a few of my favorite features of the platform:

- Very practical. Lot's of practice & projects
- Built in coding IDE. No setup required
- Comprehensive learning paths

I first started with DataCamp during a Black Friday sale just like this. It's a great time to take advantage if you've been on the fence and want to learn some new skills.
