Student reviews
So, I have been job hunting for a while (about 2-4 months) and I decided to create portfolio projects again in an industry I am fully interested in... which is the Finance industry, so I am trying to find datasets, methods of thinking you know that is relevant to this industry, but I wanted to be sure that this path was for me hence why I took the Finding your path course again to have a bit more clarity on the applications of data to this field, and then it led me to which roles in this field I would not mind taking on and that is why I enjoyed it!

The Pathfinder Survey was a game changer for me. It helped me sort through all of the possibilities and data-related passions so I could focus on the role that I’ve spent a lifetime validating and preparing for without knowing it: Business Intelligence Analyst.
