Hello fishies,

My wife is a Social media manager at a non profit. She has over 6 years of experience in the field. She is planning to switch careers and need some advice on where to start. She loves working on excel and she does Google and Facebook analytics at work.

I was advising here to look in to data scientist since that is the coolest job in the market at the moment.

What would you guys recommend and where should she start?

Are there any internal positions in data analytics for her? An inside move would be the best she would have a tough time getting a good data role externally with her experience. Her best bet is to probably take an entry level position as a data analyst and work her way up the ladder. It’s hard to just “jump” into data science because you are good at excel

Thank you for your reply SD1

She has no opportunity to grow internally at her company. Thanks again

Data strategists would be good but see if she can learn the basics of syndicated data, GWI, MRI,-Simmons, and then social listening tools like Infegy or using Twitter advanced search. As these seem to be the gatekeeping buzzwords for hiring.

Thank you S1
