How To Become A Great Data Analyst

What's this blog post about?

To become a great data analyst, start by focusing on solving small but impactful business problems and asking the right questions. Begin with tools you are most comfortable in, such as Excel or SQL, and prioritize learning SQL once you're comfortable with asking and answering the right questions. Use statistical analysis to make better decisions with data and lead with open-minded decision makers. Manage the demands of the modern data stack by developing analytical systems and automating common use cases. Finally, focus on asking the right but hard questions as your guiding principle throughout your journey as a data analyst.
