Hi everyone. I am currently a final year undergrad student from Computer Science Background. I love Data Analysis of businesses or any other sort, and love making dashboards or creating data driven insights. I have knowledge of SQL and Python for data cleaning, data preprocessing and also, some statistical knowledge as well from both academic and some online courses. Moreover, I am also very much an expert in Excel and power Queries and stuffs. I also am familiar with cloud based data systems and retrieval of them using SQL or Python.

I am not yet familiar with working with very big data. I am planning a serious remote based job in PowerBI based data analyst. I am yet to master PowerBI.

I was thinking of preparing real life Case Studies on businesses that have public data, where I would generate data driven insights and show them visually using powerBI. (GPT suggested that I should do so) And document them properly. I need some advice from my seniors in this field -

1. How to rise above the entry level saturation in this field and become an intermediate level PowerBI analyst that would attract both Clients and Companies (full time remote)

2. Should I do many projects? I have found several end-to-end project based materials and tutorials on YouTube. Should I follow those to complete all projects or, Should I just do serious case studies.

3. Could you suggest a roadmap on how to achieve the level that I am targeting? I have chosen the time frame to be till the end of the year (roughly 7 months)

4. What Certifications can boost my CV for shortlisting myself for the job?

Thank you for reading all these. 😀

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a final-year undergraduate student from a Computer Science background. I’ve developed a strong interest in data analysis—especially analyzing business data, building dashboards, and generating data-driven insights.

I have hands-on experience with SQL and Python for data cleaning and preprocessing, along with some statistical knowledge from both academics and online courses. I’m also very comfortable with Excel and Power Query. Additionally, I have some familiarity with cloud-based data systems and querying them using SQL/Python.

However, I haven’t yet worked with very large-scale datasets.

I’m aiming to pursue a serious remote role as a Tableau-based data analyst, and I’m currently in the process of mastering Tableau.

I was considering building real-world case studies using publicly available datasets—where I would analyze data, generate insights, and present them through Tableau dashboards, while documenting everything properly. I’d really appreciate some guidance from experienced people in this field:

1. How can I rise above the entry-level saturation and position myself as an intermediate-level Tableau analyst who can attract both clients and full-time remote opportunities?

2. Should I focus on doing many projects (like following end-to-end YouTube tutorials), or should I prioritize fewer but more in-depth, serious case studies?

3. Could you suggest a practical roadmap to reach this level within ~7 months?

4. What certifications would actually help my CV stand out for Tableau/data analyst roles?

Thanks a lot for taking the time to read this! 🙏
