What suggestions do you have for someone looking to get into the data analytics field? I have been doing lots of trainings on sql, tableau, excel, and a little bit of python. I plan to make a portfolio over the next month or so and start applying towards the beginning of the year. What positions should I look for? How do you get around all the spam and scammy job postings? Thanks for any help

I recently wrote an article that touches on this, and I totally agree with the approach of choosing a domain of interest and pursuing projects related to that domain. I was lucky and found my domain early which is occupational epidemiology and by working as a data scientist in that domain for more than a decade, I see that the same methodology, challenges, and problem solving is required no matter what the domain. But you need to become an expert in one domain first before you can branch out. The beautiful part of data analytics is that it can be applied to any field, so you can choose, you just need to decide and go for it!
