I recently got hired as a data analyst, and this is my third day. When I interview during the process did mention that I’ve used tableau but not power bi, so right now I’m being trained on power bi now. I’m not sure if I’m overthinking it but I think the data analyst here does not want to teach me, whenever I ask a question, he said tell me how you would do this. Obviously I can go online and learn it myself but I don’t understand his behavior. He also never really demonstrate anything.

He's doing what you will do once you start training people. Do your due diligence by trying to learn on your own before going a senior analyst. If you're at the same level as them he's probably pissed that you are.

Most technical skills are self-learnable for the qualified person in the role. What makes good engineers and analysts isn't the fact that they know how to do and use every tool, it's that they're smart and diligent enough to learn new tools to solve business problems.

Thanks for letting me know that, I know I have not work hard enough. I just thought that when manager said this peer can trained me, I can really ask some questions to learn it faster so I can move on learning other things within the company.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
