How to Get a Remote Tech Job
Frida Chacin Kulak - 2022-08-17
Remote work is here to stay: after being forced to work from home in 2020, it seems we’ve sort of realized it’s actually fine to skip the commute and join the company meeting from the comfort of your sofa. Or is it? While remote work certainly sounds easy and laid-back, it’s not just about remembering to unmute yourself on the Zoom call: remote brings its own challenges, and if you’re aiming to get hired for a remote or hybrid role, you have to get comfortable with it, and show you’re capable of giving your best in an online environment and aligning with the company and with your coworkers.

They call it the Great Reshuffle for a reason: even in the most unpredictable of times, workers have raised their standards and aren’t afraid to go for it, because pivoting careers might not be as difficult as you think.

JavaScript has come a long way since its creation in the mid-90s.

It has been ranked as the most commonly used programming language for the 8th consecutive time, it is used to build roughly 95% of the world’s websites (1.5 billion) and it is one of the most in-demand skills in the job marketplace.

Tools you must learn as a Data Analyst

Data Analytics
All Courses
The best tools to learn as a data analyst depend partly on the role you are in and the needs of the business. Different companies will have different requirements and may work with an internal or external set of tools. Some data analysis tools are used for tasks such as executing algorithms, visualising data and results, while others may be designed for preparing data for analysis, assessing results or for developing hypotheses or predictions. Data analysis tools can also be used to automate tedious tasks, providing data analysts with more time for actual analysis. There are a few key tools that are used in data analysis, however. These include SQL, Python, Git and data management tools such as R, SAS and SPSS.
