How a Job Almost Ended My Data Analyst Career (Because of a Misleading Job Title)

Have you ever applied for a job thinking it was your big break … only to realize you were completely misled? That was me. I applied for a role with “Analyst” in the title, hoping to kickstart my data analyst career—but the reality was far from what I expected. There was no SQL, no dashboards, no real data work. Just repetitive tasks, unclear responsibilities, and zero room for growth. It felt like I had taken several steps backward, not forward. It was frustrating, confusing, and honestly, demoralizing. In this video, I’m sharing the full story of how one job almost made me give up on becoming a data analyst. I talk about: - How I got into the role - The moment I realized it wasn’t a real data job - The impact it had on my confidence and career direction - What I did to get back on track - Red flags to look out for so this doesn’t happen to you Whether you’re new to the data space, switching careers, or actively job hunting in tech, I hope this video saves you from wasting time in the wrong role.
