What is the development direction of data analysts?

Data analysis is a very hot thing now. Because big data plays a vital role in all walks of life, it attracts the attention of many talents. Many people want to enter the industry of data analysis, but many people don't know what the development direction of data analysts is. Generally speaking, data analysts are divided into three positions according to the stages of data processing, namely data acquisition, data analysis and data mining. But it is too one-sided to divide the work of data analysis into these three directions, which makes people's understanding of data analysis limited. So we divide the data analysis industry into two directions, business direction and technology direction. It must be clear to everyone that different business directions also determine different career planning and promotion paths, so what is the specific situation of data direction and business direction? Let's answer Bian Xiao's question.

First of all, let me tell you about the business direction. Generally speaking, when you search for data analysis on many recruitment websites, you will find that data analysis has two business directions, one is the data analysis position that assists the business. The other is the position of data analyst. There are many data analysis positions in the retail industry. Data analysts must be proficient in the business and have a long-term accumulation and understanding of the business they face, so that they can quickly use data analysis to find problems in business processes and propose solutions to solve these problems. It can be seen that the analysis data supports the logic of the whole business. There are three types of data for data analysts in auxiliary business: market research, industry analysis and business analysis. Data analyst positions in business direction are generally more professional. How is this specialty embodied? For example, product data analysts, operational data analysts and sales data analysts. So data analysts in business are more professional.

Then I'll tell you something about technical data analysts. Generally speaking, data analysts mainly refer to the technical data mining direction, which is generally divided into three types. The first is data mining engineer, database engineer and data development engineer. There are many data analyst positions in the Internet and financial industries. Of course, the salary of data analysts in technical direction is higher than that of data analysts in business. However, if it reaches the management level, the salary of the business post is higher than that of the technical post.
