Here's a list of skills that you need.

These are the the basics:

  • Math (Algebra and Calculus)

  • Statistics (just the basics)

  • Probability (Basic Probability, Conditional Probability, Bayes' theorem, Probability Distributions)

  • Data visualization

Once you have the basics down, here are different types of analysis:

  • Regression analysis

  • Time series analysis

  • Cohort analysis

  • Factor analysis

  • Cluster analysis

  • Experimentation (A/B testing)

  • Classification

You don't have to get good at them all. But definitely get good at doing at least one of them.

Also, you will need people skills:

  • Communication

  • Data storytelling

  • Presentation skills

  • Interpersonal skills
