Has anyone here transitioned into Data Analytics from audit/FP&A? I’m interested in potentially going that route but not sure how to get started (currently in FP&A and former audit). I see Data Analysts typically require a background in SQL, which I don’t use in my current role. Would it be beneficial to take SQL courses and earn certifications to add to my linkedin? Also, is the work better and more interesting than audit/FP&A?

A friend of mine did it. She was in a FP&A role, she took SQL courses and then got a job as a DA in our current company. I want to do the same thing but since I don’t have FP&A experience, I haven’t had much luck.

uplifting

Fp&a roles at large tech companies also require sql so there’s that too.

I’m taking the Google Data Analytics Certification Course that goes thru SQL, Tableau and R. Im enjoying it more than CodeAcademy and other sites since it goes thru more theory/concepts up front like a college class and is more beginner friendly. You might wanna try it out it’s pretty cheap. Hopefully it can help me get into senior FP&A at a tech company!

I got hit with a Covid layoff. How discriminating should I be about my next step? I've got about a decade of experience in big law, general commercial lit.

I'm applying for in-house and firm positions, and also a few firm administrative roles that I don't want to do. Should I just take anything I can get? I'm ok on savings, just worried about long term career impact.
