Anybody got any good recos on stats/coding courses for beginners? I’m an extremely client-facing analytics guy with knowledge of these things but not really the technical skills to execute.

For coding, DataCamp is decent for getting a foundation but I’d recommend starting a personal project from the ground up. You will learn the most during projects

1 Just to clarify Coding and Stats are two things so just realize different courses will have different areas of focus
2. IBM Data Science Specialization does a really good job of explaining the programming aspect of data science as well as the math behind it

That makes sense. If you can learn python (and some python libraries like SKL, pandas, numpy, etc), getting more in depth with sql is a breeze

Hi OP, what exactly do you need to do? Or what do you want to learn/gain on this self learning journey? Sometimes going straight into coding without a goal is maddening.

This. Do this and then figure out next steps. If you want to do just stats, r is your best bet. If you’re wanting to be a computer vision/Nlp/ data science whiz, you can’t do that without python

As an update, I’m migrating our/clients google data to BiqQuery/ADH depending on how ready for it they are. Google supplies queries that can basically be adlibbed to perform common analyses, so I figured I’ll be able to spend a little time learning how the language works while working for my clients and doing my own projects, I know it’s not as universal as SQL (or R or Python), but it’s might be a good way to dip my toes in while doing relevant work. Anybody think that’s a good or terrible idea?

Reiterating sql, but consider R for your next language.

How far into implementation and execution do you get as a strategist (and what's your specialty). I notice social strategist tend to get way more into the executional portion, even writing copy etc. whereas brand strategy tends to roll off once the briefing process is done.

Interesting all the noise about these PPT, my take:

The pandemic took all the upside of an IB analyst life (client meetings in person, fancy trips, suit up, worshiped at networking events) and left all the juniors with the downside (long hours, monkey-like type of job, aggressive work environment).

Not that the complaints are not sort of legitimate but you may need to revise the decision-making process that led you to accept a return offer. Specially if you were looking for less hours.
