Rising Star
SQL
Python
MS Power BI / Tableau - for Data Visualization
I think the BI tools are far more useful earlier on than python and would do them after sql, then get into more specific use cases with python once needed. Just imo though
I would recommend starting with SQL. While both languages can get very complicated, utilizing SQL effectively for business use cases can occur much earlier in the learning process. It’s ultimately up to personal preference, but SQL is a much better introduction to coding for data analysis in my experience.
Pro
SQL is def prob the most versatile ( recently got into analytics and at the moment it’s all SQL with occasional ad how calcs using excel). I could use python to do even more advanced analysis but would mainly be for better or more custom visualizations or ML type tasks and I don’t know python that well lol. I’d also learn tableau or Powerbi so you can visualize the data you parse through on SQL (most places will prob use tableau or some similar in house tool).
SQL to start. Get to a solid foundation of basic functions like joining tables etc. From there, learn to visualize data in power bi or tableau. Lastly, get into the depths of data management/manipulation in python. Once you're there you have so many paths you can dive down.
I am hiring this position shortly. SQL all the way
And throw in some courses that give you data design understanding.
Thanks for the feedback!
