What is Data Analytics?

A Data Analyst may work in a variety of companies and enterprises assisting with the management, analysis, visualisation, and storytelling of data for internal and external stakeholders. The exact responsibilities of a Data Analyst will vary greatly based on the size and structure of a given company.

From there things started working out for me! I am financially independent now. My self-esteem and confidence have improved.
