You don't need anything to apply. But to really land a job without extraordinary luck, excel, sql, python and BI tool is a must 😅
SQL for the win! Tools are only a way to make data rock, even a simple Excel can add so much value.
True; while you don’t necessarily need Python to become a data analyst, it becomes essential once you start hitting the limits of Excel and SQL. Python is especially powerful for more advanced analysis, automation, and scalability. And while you can survive without it, consistently improving your skill set and using the right tools at the right time gives you a clear competitive advantage in the job market.
