I want to know about freelancing in data analysis

I've been applying for data analyst roles too, but it didn't work out. Is it really possible to do freelancing in data analysis, I've heard people saying the business won't trust the freelancers with the data. I'm not sure if I should start freelancing. and even if I did, i don't know where to find clients. The same upwork and fiverr are too crowded. please share your insights!

Transitioning from Retail Management to Data Analytics — Any Advice?

I’m trying to transition into a data analytics career. I have an undergrad in Philosophy and currently work as a retail manager, so I don’t have formal analyst experience yet.

Right now I’m doing the Google/Coursera Data Analytics Certificate, although from what I’ve read, projects and practical skills matter more. I’m proficient in Excel and SQL, and I have some experience with Power BI. Currently trying to get better with DAX since I keep hearing it’s very valuable.

At my current job, I voluntarily analyze sales and operational data because I find it useful, even though it’s not officially part of my role.

For people already in the field: what skills, projects, certifications, or advice would you recommend for someone trying to break into data analytics from a non-traditional background? Appreciate any help. Thanks!

A company hired me directly without a proper interview process.

I was job hunting and found this IT company called “AtudeTeam” or “Team Altitude,” which is apparently hiring Data Analysts. I recently graduated, so this would probably be my first job. Their website looks decent and professional, but I can’t find any other sources confirming that they’re a legitimate company.

The job is remote, and I didn’t go through a proper interview process. I was basically hired directly after they found my resume on a job posting site.

I just wanted to ask if anyone here knows them or has heard of them before.
