Hello there and happy Saturday! Can anyone recommend a good place to start for obtaining a SQL certification or entering the data analyst field? I currently have a Federal Advisory/Audit background.

My 0.02: tools/technologies like Python & SQL don’t really have certifications so to speak. There are Database specific certifications you could get but those go beyond proving you can use SQL for data analysis. If what you’re interested in is learning SQL then I’d start with online courses (DataCamp, Codecademy, W3 schools, learnsql, etc.). Once you have an understanding of the basics test what you know on sites like HackerRank. Hope this helps

Data analytics runs the gamut from Excel to SQL to visualization tools like Tableau, PowerBI and Looker. Personally, I think that if you’re trying to break into data analysis then SQL is a great tool to start with. It’s (relatively) easy to learn but hard to master

What would you choose? MBB (Digital practice) or Amazon PMT?

Background: T15 MBA student, 7YoE as Mech engineer, long term goal is to climb ladder in Tech, married and have a 2year old

Situation: I have a MBB and Amazon PMT offer for summer internship that I need to choose. MBB comes with FT offer, Amazon PMT will most likely result in return offer. If I go with MBB, I plan to exit to big Tech in 2-3 years. Y1 TC for both will be quite similar (around 230k).

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot. It's gotten to the point where I am not even asked about the lack of a degree on my resume. Personally though, it bothers me. I have a whole bunch of certifications in my industry…but just no formal degree. (cont'd)
