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

I've never experienced burnout while in a job I actually like before, but this year has burned me out and it's led to confusing feelings.

In the past when I've experienced burnout it's been a red flag that I need to exit the situation. Quit my job, leave the relationship, etc. 

On the other hand, this year has been amazing! I have learned so much, been promoted (twice!), and been through many exciting life events.

The vibe of this year has been "Everything, at Maximum Effort, All the Time".... But most of those things were good things (COVID, looking at you for the Not Good List 👀).

When I started to feel burnt out in late July, I struggled to accept it. I felt guilty for feeling burned out.

In the past, my burnout was a failure of the situation that I was in. If I felt anything besides apathy, it was anger. I used the anger to motivate me to move on. 

This time around, admitting to myself that I felt burned out made me feel guilt and shame. I felt like I was inadequate and ungrateful, and I wanted to hide my burnout. 

("Sure, I accomplished great things this year. But if I got burned out doing it, how capable am I really?") 

Because just quitting my job (or quiet quitting) wasn't the right answer, I was paralyzed with apathy.

It took me a month to admit to myself that I was feeling burned out, and another month to feel like I could talk to anyone else about it.

Unfortunately and annoyingly, recovering from burnout is a super slow process. Two things I have done that have helped a lot are taking up knitting, and starting to foster dogs.

Sitting by the ocean with one of our foster dogs while knitting peacefully is peak recovery energy.

I am not still fully recovered, and these feelings are hard to admit to. I'm not even quite sure why I'm sharing this, but I know I can't be the only person who has felt this way.

One benefit of working for a company called GitLab is that socially - you basically work for 2 companies - because anytime you talk to someone about your job they spend the entire time kind of thinking you work for GitHub.

Even if you have clarified the difference 😉

After writing this I saw the OpenAI plans to start adding 'mature content' and ads into their business model.

For a company that promised to revolutionize every industry and change everything, it's not a good sign for how well their business model is performimg if they're pivoting to the low hanging fruit of the internet...

Dare I say that move even feels desparate.

Anyways, the post is about me and how I'm reacting in my career to the AI wave, with what I would call a healthy mix of adoption and cynicism mixed together.

Open article: AI: This Changes... Nothing by open.substack.com

If I see an AI generated image or an emoji every 10 words in your post, I'm scrolling 🙈

It's not something I do 'on principle', it's subconscious.

I'm not interested in hearing from AI on here. The AI generated image is more powerful in giving me an impression of your post then any text is. It feels like an ad at best.

And the emojis? 😊🙈😦

Every time I hit an emoji 💡 when I'm reading text, I mentally stop. 🛑 Reading emoji heavy content 📚 takes me a lot longer ⌚.

It also doesnt come across as authentic 👀, it feels again ♻️, kind of like an ad 📲.

I think it's emojis in the middle of the paragraph /sentence that are hardest to read, emojis to end a paragraph can work in the right situation.
