Hi there,

The job of a data analyst is to inspect big data sets, disintegrate them to get useful information out of the data given. All of this requires analyzing, modeling, transforming data, and that requires certain tools and programming languages are required.

Below are the skills required that a data analyst requires

SQL, Python, R, Tableau, Power BI, Hadoop, Spark.

As you can see from above you do require certain programming skills. I'd you are completely new to this career path I suggest first research thoroughly about data analysis. You need to knack for data and understanding their patterns. Also, you should have a knack for data or data analysis.

Then start with the basics of SQL. It is pretty easily understood and is easy to grasp. You can find beginner courses are readily available on udemy, LinkedIn, W3schools.

You need not learn both Python and R. Start with learning R. It is again an easy one to learn. As you are weak in coding it is a better choice for you than Python.

After setting up your basics then go to the next level and start learning data analyzing and modeling tools like power BI, tableau, and so on.

There are several websites and you can study these individually, but I would suggest opting for an online course. It will save time and you will get a structured layout of the course. Online courses will be available on LinkedIn, udemy, Coursera, YouTube

There are numerous jobs for data analysts in Germany and on average, they are paid around USD 53,000. The highest paying country though is the United States.

I hope this information helps!

Thank you!
