I switched careers and DOUBLED my salary
If you’re looking to change careers and get into analytics, look no further. I have gone from a financial analyst to a senior data analyst (and nearly doubled my income) in the course of about the last seven months. So, here’s how I did that, and how you can too.
DO YOUR RESEARCH ON DIFFERENT OPTIONS
I decided to get a master's degree after working for about a year, and if you think that's right for you as well, then following in my footsteps might get you where you want to go. But there are many other ways to change careers and get into analytics, so before you decide to just blindly follow my path, make sure it's right for you.
CHOOSE THE RIGHT SCHOOL
If you're going to go this route, choosing the right school is imperative. You need to know which market you want to work in or which company you want to work for so you can choose a school with a good reputation in that area. Companies target specific schools for new hires, so make sure you're going to the right school!
GET AN INTERNSHIP
One of the most powerful parts of going to school is the ability to get an internship. If you go back for a master's degree and can afford to you really should take an internship. This is a great way to get your foot in the door with a company and get experience at the same time.
GET A REFERRAL
Finally, you need to get someone to refer you to work with their company. In order to do this, you need to know lots of people! So while you're in college make those connections. If you're already out of college, no worries, just go on LinkedIn and look for alumni from your school that work where you want to, and reach out. Make sure you actually make a connection with them first though, before just asking for the referral right off the bat.
