Shifting Careers: Civil Engineer to Data Analyst

Napagod ako maging Civil Engineer kaya nag hanap ako ng other careers. Hindi worth it yung stress, toxic environment, and time window na M-S for 2x,xxx pesos.

Scrolling through websites like indeed and jobstreet magandang opening sa data analyst. Aside sa more opportunities in WFH, malaki yung market and well-compensated sila unlike Civil Engineer.

I am currently learning SQL from a website "SQL Climber", and medyo iba yung process of learning from engineer. I know that it will be a huge learning curve but i will take my chance.

Aside from SQL, what other data analyzing method that is used throughout the market that I can learn? And do you have any tips on how to build portfolio? Nakikita ko rin kasi na parang you need to show a portfolio to companies for them to hire you. Lastly, do you have any idea if may mga companies na willing to train its employees?

Any tips and advices will be appreciated!

Background: Yung first job ko is contract-based, so after ng project terminated na. It started on January and ended this April. I have been on many interviews and grabe yung pa-sweldo nila. Minimum wage na 16k. Monday to Saturday pa.

Ayaw ko naman din i-tolerate ganoong sahod since may experience na rin naman ako kahit papaano. I am reaching out to fellow redditors if they know of any company na nag hihire since some companies do soft hiring (refer-refer lang).

I am capable of being a site engineer or office engineer. I am also knowledgable about AutoCAD and MS Offices + introductory estimates.

If ever na you know of other companies that hires Civil Engineer. DM me or you can comment their email.
