What makes data analysts’ work difficult?

Nowadays, data analysis is a rather recruited field. There is a huge need for well-qualified proffesionals. No concidence, that many people want to break into this labor market as part of career-hack. And this is not a problem. Currentrly we are lack of well-qualified professionals, who can use Power BI, Tableau or SQL on an advanced level. And you are able to learn these softwares. It’s not brain surgery… If you are interested in these tools, I encourage you to learn them.

Many new software has been published on the market and a lot of new methodologies have been applied. 15 years ago, I had a SAP User Access and an Excel workbook. That was my working tool.
