Data Analytics can be SO overwhelming.

Take a look at pic...
See how many you can identify as Pokémon...

If there's a few you don't know, don't worry! 
You don't have to know it all!  

There's even a few I struggle with...
And I've been doing data 10+ years!

Just getting started w/ data?
Don't try to learn everything. 

You'll exhaust yourself.
Instead focus on The Big 3.

Excel.
SQL.
Tableau.

That's enough to land your first data job. 
Trust me. 

I teach The Big 3.
I teach how to land data jobs.

Founder @ Data Analytics Accelerator - I help people land their first data job (even with no prior experience)

If you're just starting out with SQL, here are 7 things you NEED to know (from a Senior Data Analyst w/ 10+ years experience) 👇 

- SQL is an iceberg. It looks simple at first, but gets deep fast but...
- As a Data Analyst, you only need ~17 commands to solve like 90% of real data problems. 
- You don't need to have it all memorized. IDEs + Google + ChatGPT exist. 
- Skip database admin stuff. Most of that is data engineer problems, not analyst problems.
- SQL isn’t the only path. Excel pivots, Python, Tableau, Power BI can do similar things.
- You need to use an IDE when starting. It's just way easier.
- Always use LIMIT. Your future self (and your computer) will thank you.
- SQL won’t get you hired by itself. Jobs come from the combo: Skills + Portfolio + Network.

SQL is awesome. 
You should learn it. 

If you want to learn it the fun way (and land a data job)...

"No one is hiring new Data Analysts" -- that's what "everyone" is saying. Personally, I think everyone is wrong. And here's the data that proves it. 

Just got this report back from Live Data Technologies that shows 13,344 new Data Analysts were hired in 2025. These are professionals who NEVER had "Data Analyst" on their LI profile until this year. 

Save this post. Study these companies. These are the companies who are ACTUALLY hiring new data analysts. Focus on these organizations.

But also, know that the top 20 companies doesn't even make up 5% of the total hiring. This means LOTS of companies are hiring new Data Analysts. 



So I guess that means the question is...

Will they hire YOU?!? 
If you want help getting hired, I'm here to help.

I'm starting a new cohort of The Accelerator next Monday (February 9th)

p.s. let me know what you think about this data in the comments?

Been thinking about the future of data analytics a lot w/ the rise of AI. Personally, I'm not scared - but I'm watching very closely. Here's what I think the future may look like: 

I think most white-collar jobs will look fairly different, eventually. Maybe not in the next 1-3 years, but in the next 5+. For those in data + tech, an abstraction layer is being built. 

I think software development is the best example. You use to program in 1's and 0's. Now it's syntax and functions. Soon it will be mostly via natural language. 

Data will be similar. We forget the history of data analytics. 11 years ago, Power BI didn't even exist. Tableau was still new. Want a dashboard? That will be $20,000 and hundreds of hours. 

Soon you'll just dictate what you want your dashboard to look like. So, elephant in the room is this question. Does that mean data analyst jobs are dead?

I don't think so. I think they'll just change. You'll use different tools. You'll do different work. But here's the biggest change everyone is going to need to process.


Ready?

How to do things matters less and less.
What to do and when to do it matters more and more. 

Pause. Please reread it. 

I think it's important to understand...


We will live in a world where agents in 5+ years will be able to almost do anything we want. But knowing what we should do and when, that will be the key. 

-> You need to learn to think as a Data Analyst more
-> You need to analyze like a Data Analyst less 

It's a nuanced point - one I'm still figuring out.

Hey all, life looks different now than it once did for me. 

This pic kinda says a lot: beach + babies. But there's a lot more going on in my life you don't see. A diagnosis. Mental health. Priorities. My kids. Roadblocks. Employees. Etc.

It's been an amazing year, but also extremely challenging. 

I'm going to talk about it all in my next newsletter issue on Wednesday.

You only need 17 SQL keywords to do most entry level data analyst work. It sounds crazy because SQL books are hundreds of pages long.

I know, because I did it the hard way. I spent way too much time learning commands I never use.

But after 10 years in the field, I can tell you this is the truth. Most entry level analyst work is built on a small set of commands used again and again.

In this issue, I’ll:
• 📋 Give you the full list of the 17 commands needed for a job
• ⏱️ Share a study roadmap that takes about 30 hours total
• ☁️ Share my favorite way to practice SQL without downloading anything
