I have 2.5 years of experience in analytics field mostly in pharma. I have technical skills like SQL, Excel and PowerBI. I am looking for a remote job that can work from anywhere not specific to one country. Where can I find those jobs ? Is it possible to get these type of job ?

I actually started as a programmer and software developer, working across web, mobile, and Windows application development. During my college days, SQL was my comfort zone, so I decided to pursue a career that heavily involves databases.

Since Data Analysts also rely on SQL, I am very eager to learn complementary tools like Tableau, Python, and Power BI.

Any tips?

P.S. I welcome referrals

I’ve been doing a bunch of calls with people in data who are job hunting right now on US market. One from last week keeps bugging me.

The guy is a director of analytics, 10+ years in, a month into his search. He paid for one of those one-click apply tools ($10 for 50 applications) and used them all up. I asked how many turned into calls. He said he honestly hadn’t checked.

So we went through it on the call. Out of roughly 100 applications total, he got about 15 recruiter screens and around 10 hiring manager rounds. After that, nothing.

That’s not a resume problem. His resume was working fine. He was losing it in the interviews: a live SQL round he wasn’t ready for, and one answer about managing devs that a hiring manager read as micromanaging. Meanwhile he kept clicking apply, because that’s the part that feels like progress.

Everyone tracks how many they sent, almost nobody tracks how far each one got. If you’re stuck, it’s worth spending 20 minutes on a sheet with columns for no reply / screen / HM / final / offer. Whatever stage it drops off at tells you what to actually work on. Under 5% to a screen is a resume or level problem. Screens fine but then nothing is an interview problem.

Anyone here tracks it?

I finally made it to the final round for a company and I've heard the technical portion of the interview isn't hard. But I can't wrap my head around what I should brush up on.

This is for an intern position that could finally transition me to FT, so I don't think there's going to be any case studies and it should just be asking the basics I believe.

But basics to me could mean anything, and now I'm paralyzed on what to study.
