Sql, python, R, Julia in that order of importance.

Tools would be things databricks, snowflake, or airflow but it really depends on what you are doing.

Second this as far as languages. For tools, I would also suggest Alteryx. Very powerful low code tool

Scala or Go-Lang if you want to break into more data engineering kind of roles. Spark for data engineering or data science. Terraform and Linux for general “I know what I’m doing” on your resume.

A viz tool like PowerBI or Tableau will also help if you’re not as savvy on coding and want to sit in an analyst/data translator type role

I’m four months into my job and I got put onto a PIP. I worked so hard to break into IB, put up all the hours and even working 2am nights for weeks, learned a ton, and improved a lot along the way as the sole analyst yet this happens. I’m extra worried because it doesn’t seem there’s IB analyst positions out there. Im really hoping come January more positions come up but I’m just praying they don’t fire me until then. Anyone have general tips for this situation?
