There are only 3 levels in SQL.

It took me years as a data analyst to reach the last one.

(you're gonna wanna save this 🏷️)

Here are all the skills you need to know in each level: 

Level 1: Newbie 
(the basic syntax) 
↳ select
↳ from
↳ where
↳ order by 
↳ group by 
↳ aggregate functions
↳ NULLs
↳ basic joins
↳ string manipulation 
↳ date manipulation
↳ arithmetic operators 

Level 2: False Confidence
(intermediate skills)
↳ CTEs
↳ subqueries
↳ set operations
↳ self joins
↳ window functions
↳ views & temp tables 
↳ case
↳ optimization
↳ pivoting & unpivoting 

Level 3: Reality sets in 
(advanced business problems)
↳ recursive CTEs
↳ indexing
↳ data modeling
↳ dealing with stakeholders

Level 4: Dunning-Kruger effect
(imposter syndrome all over again)
↳ realizing skills don’t matter and you still don’t know what you’re doing

LinkedIn’s job match feature that helps you strategically focus your job search on all the right roles. Instead of mass applying for ALL the roles you can find, you can now apply for the ones that match your skills and experience the best.

This means that you’re optimizing your job search since you’re applying for roles that you’re MOST qualified for. In this challenging and competitive job market, you truly have to be strategic, data-driven, and work smarter— not harder!

LinkedIn is getting a major upgrade since they’re not JUST recommending roles to you anymore— they’re also telling you how good of a fit it is for you!!

I’m so excited to be partnering with LinkedIn on this since it’s been the biggest platform for my career growth over the past few years 💙

With LinkedIn dare to discover where you best fit with job match: linkedin.com/jobs

I'll save you about $1M in consulting fees & 12 months of disappointment:

Your data strategy IS your AI strategy.

Most AI transformations are failing not because of the models and technology but because of what's upstream: the data.

Over the years it's been a never-ending cycle of promises:

↳ Machine learning was going to change everything. 
↳ AI was going to change everything. 
↳ Generative AI was going to change everything.
↳ Now Agentic AI is going to change everything.

The technology is never the problem.

Most organizations are sitting on databases full of duplicates, missing fields, undocumented schemas, and business logic that lives entirely inside one person's head who left the company in 2019. 

And that's exactly what you're feeding into these models. And now we're enabling agents to act autonomously at scale with confidence.

Agent confidence is NOT human confidence.

And the most dangerous part is that non-technical (and even some technical stakeholders) don't understand that. They see the little verified check mark, and take it as absolute truth.

We have to fix what's upstream before we can accelerate what's downstream.

♻️ repost to give your network a laugh today!

37% of companies plan to replace entry level roles w/ AI.

But IBM is doing the opposite. 

They're tripling their entry-level roles due to limits of AI adoption.

They're thinking about the longterm strategy instead of the quick financial savings.

Mid-level and senior-level talent doesn't just magically appear later on if you haven't had entry-level roles learning and growing within your company. 

Not only that, but they're rewriting their roles to account for AI adoption and use so people focus more time on the things that are harder to replace with AI.

Turns out implementing AI enterprise-wide is harder than we thought.

I help entry-level, non-technical professionals get their first data analyst role | Data Analyst @RBC | Data Career Coach

I help immigrants and career-switchers land analyst roles—without burning out on certificates.

By day I build decision-grade analytics (currently at Autodesk). By night I run Data Career Compass, where we treat your job search like a product launch:
Market → Positioning → Portfolio → Distribution → Interviews.

My POV:
Most candidates try to add more tools. Winners learn to package their value. Your portfolio isn’t a gallery; it’s a sales page for your judgment.

Receipts:

→ Professionals land interviews by aligning projects to business outcomes (not toy datasets).

→ My frameworks have been used across finance, tech, and education to translate experience into results.

→ Built data products and controls in regulated environments (RBC Capital Markets) that leaders rely on daily.


What you’ll get here:

→ Weekly breakdowns of real projects (SQL, Python, dbt, DuckDB, Looker/Tableau/Power BI).

→ Storytelling patterns that turn insights into action.

→ Templates that remove friction: portfolio briefs, stakeholder one-pagers, interview scorecards.

Coming April:

I’m launching a coaching program designed for mid-level and senior professionals ready to transition into analytics.

This isn’t an entry-level bootcamp—it’s a career accelerator that helps you reposition your existing experience, communicate business value, and step confidently into data-driven roles.

Work with me:

↳ Cohorts + 1:1 coaching → DM “HIRED”

↳ January program for mid/senior professionals → DM “APRIL” for early access

↳ Guest workshops for teams and communities → DM “WORKSHOP”


I build analysts who think like product managers and communicate like consultants.

Every data analyst has lived through this meeting.

Dashboard says: $1.2M
Finance says: $1.1M

Meeting topic for the next 45 minutes:

“Where did the $100K go?”

First theory:
Maybe a filtering issue.

Second theory:
Currency conversion.

Third theory:
Time zone mismatch.

Fourth theory:
Someone forgot to refresh the data.

Meanwhile the analyst is quietly thinking:

“Please don’t be a duplicated join. Please don’t be a duplicated join. Please don’t be a duplicated join.”

45 minutes later…

Root cause:

Someone exported the numbers to Excel
…and manually deleted a row “that looked wrong.”

New meeting scheduled:

“Aligning reporting methodology across teams.”

Welcome to data analytics.

Where 90% of the job is not finding insights…

It’s explaining why two numbers that should match… don’t.

If you’ve ever spent an hour chasing a mysterious variance in a meeting, you’re officially part of the club. 📊😅
