Keep seeing “Experience in coding (R/Python) and familiarity with SQL” in job description requirements.
I think I get how SQL is used in the job. But what does “experience in coding” mean — Is it web scraping, data cleaning, data analysis & visualization? Or something else?

Context if it helps: I’m looking at Biz Ops Analyst & Strategy Associate jobs at tech/startup-y co’s (eg Youtube, Oscar, Bird) for exit after 2 yrs of consulting out of ugrad.

I would have to imagine a lot of it is just knowing how to use pandas

Mostly data analysis and data visualization. As a rough example, given dataset of individual ridership of bird, start and end time, date, $$ charged, can you calculate monthly revenue and plot it.
R/python help you do statistical tests on the data sets. For example, do discounts have a significant impact on order size

like

Also the libraries in python for statistical analysis are huge compared to SQL

Yeah if I would learn one thing that is pandas. It is like Alterix but more options. I.e. working with big data in a spreadsheet way

I’m in-house at a small company (60 people), started right out of law school about 5 years ago. We had a legal team of 5 then. Everyone has left and we just hired a new GC. I went from $70k to $100k a little over a year ago. I am expecting an offer from a firm doing business law work but think this might be an opportunity to go to my current employer and ask for a significant raise, with new offer in hand. Any thoughts or advice going into this?
