2023.06.09 16:11 torturedDaisy It comes in waves?
This is what my therapist said when I just asked out loud why I can’t catch a break. Ended it with my abusive ex boyfriend, abusive ex started stalking me, Had to replace my roof $$$, fix my car $$, call CPS on my kids dad, AC broke during roof repair $$$, need to find a new job, need to find someone to help me watch my kids, kids dad doesn’t pay child support and just moved in with his new girlfriend, I’m pretty broke.
it doesn’t stop. Thankfully I do have kids (and a senior cat) or else I would’ve given up a long time ago.
Hopefully this “wave” will be over soon. I just want two weeks of my life without something breaking down, or some weird life event happening. Just TWO weeks.

2023.06.09 16:11 kirilale DataAnalyst.com - I launched a niche job board with hand curated data analyst jobs. Here's the summary of how it's going after the fifth month
Hi all,
on Dec 19th I launched DataAnalyst.com - this is the fifth (May) update of hopefully many more to come.
Want to make sure I document the journey, and keep myself honest, so each month I will be making a post about the statistics, progress, some thoughts and what are the next steps I want to be focusing on.
While the main purpose for the post is to bring everyone along on the journey, I do think that members of DataAnalysis might benefit from the site, especially those looking for a new data analyst job. I'd also love to engage with people on the sub who'd like to share their data analyst career journey.
If it's not something that belong here, have absolutely no issues to take the post down and / or keep the updates to a different subreddit.
So, just a reminder that early stages vision is to become the #1 job board for data analysts - hand-picking interesting data analyst job opportunities across industries.
Let's dive right in:
There's now 1,200+ people subscribed to the newsletter, and I can't thank you enough for your support and for joining us on the journey.
While in April the site grew to just over 5,000 monthly visitors across 26,000 pageviews, in May we've been able to cross the 5,000 visitors yet again, with over 28,000 pageviews - not only that, we registered approximately 4,500 data analyst applications being started from the site!
Additionally, I've also had multiple people reaching out, both in comment section of my previous updates, but also in DMs, sharing that they have found the site to be extremely useful in their job search, and that they were able to get interviews and onboard new roles through the site - I absolutely love this, and even if the venture doesn't end up being commercially successful, I'm super happy to hear that it has indeed helped people when needed.
Google impressions are over 50% up, albeit the amount of people clicking through to the site remained flat.
On the positive note - the site has finally ranking for all the major target keywords:
"data analyst jobs / data analyst job / data analyst / data analytics jobs"
Pumped about this, as having multiple channels is crucial to long term growth and protecting the site and traffic from algorithm updates.
b) Product Hunt launch - Early last month I decided to share DataAnalyst on Product Hunt. The idea wasn't necessarily to try and rank up to the top, but mainly get the site out there, and gain a backlink from ProduntHunt that's going to help the site's authority. Overall the voting process is extremely cumbersome, but we did end up with 36 upvotes which was more than I expected.
What that will look like, I honestly have no idea, but experiment, iterate and go again.
Some of you may have noticed that I've also recently launched BusinessAnalyst.com - where I'm looking to replicate step by step what I've done over the last 5 months with DataAnalyst. The overall idea is to create a network of sites, benefiting from the same infastructure, serving and helping different career paths, and making a collaboration with organisations much more appealing (afterall, most companies who hire for data analysts also look for business analysts and vice versa). Arguably, this might not make much sense seeing that DA still hasn't brought any revenue in, but on the other hand, I can reuse the whole tech stack and structures already in place, halve my cost per project, while doubling the surface area to catch me some luck. Anyways, how this will work out is a case study for another time.
With these insights I'm trying to bring answers to questions such as: Which industries are hiring the most? Are we seeing any salary increases? And what about the remote working trend?
With that in mind, I'm excited to share that the first five months of insights were consolidated, and the Salary Guide has now been published.
The data analyst salary guide provides the overview of salaries in various industries - and now also shows a more detailed view on each industry page, with a deep dive into how much entry level, senior and lead data analysts can earn depending on their experience.
This is only based on job opportunities on the site, and no external data sources are utilised. The plan is to have it updated quarterly, with the next update in September.
For the US, we've also released the May edition of Market Insights, you can see the full report here.
Tisha, who is a data analyst at Tesla, has shared some fantastic insights, and I'd love to highlight couple of my favourite quotes from the interview.
On what she loves about being a data analyst:
"For me, the most exciting aspect of being a data analyst is the opportunity to unlock meaningful insights from vast amounts of data. I enjoy the challenge of uncovering patterns, identifying trends, and translating complex data into actionable recommendations. The ability to make a tangible impact on business outcomes and help organizations drive growth is incredibly rewarding."
On her advice for those aspiring to enter the industry, she shares 6 points that everyone should focus on:
Highly recommend reading the full interview.
Thank you all again, and see you in a month.

1. General Observations
Stats
DataAnalyst.com has been online for just over 5 months and we've brought over 1,250 hand curated data analyst jobs onto the site - all of them including a salary range.There's now 1,200+ people subscribed to the newsletter, and I can't thank you enough for your support and for joining us on the journey.
While in April the site grew to just over 5,000 monthly visitors across 26,000 pageviews, in May we've been able to cross the 5,000 visitors yet again, with over 28,000 pageviews - not only that, we registered approximately 4,500 data analyst applications being started from the site!

"data analyst jobs / data analyst job / data analyst / data analytics jobs"
Pumped about this, as having multiple channels is crucial to long term growth and protecting the site and traffic from algorithm updates.
Things that happened
a) Expired Listings - There's feedback regarding some of the jobs on the site already expiring and leading to non-existing listings. I am trying to come up with a solution where visitors would be able to upvote/downvote and thus highlighting status for everyone else. For now, I went through job listings and marked those roles no longer open as "Expired".b) Product Hunt launch - Early last month I decided to share DataAnalyst on Product Hunt. The idea wasn't necessarily to try and rank up to the top, but mainly get the site out there, and gain a backlink from ProduntHunt that's going to help the site's authority. Overall the voting process is extremely cumbersome, but we did end up with 36 upvotes which was more than I expected.
Expecting a summer slump
With summer, there's typically very little hiring happening / it's extremely slow as people are taking well deserved time off. I'm expecting activity on the site to decrease, and my main goal for this period is getting together a plan of action to start reaching out to companies in Q4 and Q1, educate them about the site, the value proposition and hopefully get a few partnerships on the books.What that will look like, I honestly have no idea, but experiment, iterate and go again.

2. The Salary Guide
On a monthly basis, we've been utilising the data available to developing and sharing Market Insights - a deep dive into the data analyst job market, where we can have a look at the job openings and provide you all with insights on the latest hiring trends in the United States.With these insights I'm trying to bring answers to questions such as: Which industries are hiring the most? Are we seeing any salary increases? And what about the remote working trend?

3. "Day in the Life" - a series of interviews with data analysts sharing their experience, thoughts and advice.
The third interview from our series has been published. In these interviews, we aim to share stories and experiences about the route to becoming a data analyst, keeping up with the skillset, recommendations to aspiring data analysts and much more.Tisha, who is a data analyst at Tesla, has shared some fantastic insights, and I'd love to highlight couple of my favourite quotes from the interview.
On what she loves about being a data analyst:
"For me, the most exciting aspect of being a data analyst is the opportunity to unlock meaningful insights from vast amounts of data. I enjoy the challenge of uncovering patterns, identifying trends, and translating complex data into actionable recommendations. The ability to make a tangible impact on business outcomes and help organizations drive growth is incredibly rewarding."
On her advice for those aspiring to enter the industry, she shares 6 points that everyone should focus on:
- Acquire a strong foundation in SQL. This is an essential tool for data analysis and manipulation.
- Familiarize yourself with data analytics tools like Tableau, Power BI, or Alteryx. Demonstrating proficiency in these tools can enhance your employability.
- Seek out internships, projects, or volunteer opportunities where you can gain hands-on experience with real-world datasets and analytical challenges.
- Continuously enhance your skills by staying updated with the latest trends and best practices in the field. Online courses, webinars, and industry conferences can be valuable resources.
- Showcase your skills and projects through a portfolio or personal website. This allows potential employers to see your capabilities and the impact you can make.

2023.06.09 16:11 Olibr_Resourcing_LTD Exploring the Metaverse: A Comprehensive Guide to the Digital Universe
 | IntroductionThe concept of the metaverse has been gaining significant attention lately, fueled by advancements in technology and a growing interest in virtual worlds. It promises a future where people can immerse themselves in a shared digital universe, blurring the line between the physical and virtual realities. In this guide, we will explore the metaverse, understand its definition, delve into its potential applications, and discuss the implications it holds for individuals and society as a whole.What is the Metaverse? The metaverse refers to a virtual universe or collective virtual shared space that encompasses a combination of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and the internet. It is an interconnected network of virtual worlds, enabling users to interact with each other and computer-generated environments in real-time. Unlike traditional online platforms, the metaverse aims to create a seamless and immersive experience that simulates the physical world. https://preview.redd.it/cfcz4nat005b1.jpg?width=973&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d026b4943b0176920378ba820a4e213ead56e5e Key Elements of the Metaverse
Potential Applications of the Metaverse
Implications and Challenges of the Metaverse
Future of Metaversehttps://preview.redd.it/vz1cpwsd105b1.jpg?width=973&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=232fcf47165653c7d6fcaceabfba320cf5da9651The future of the metaverse holds tremendous potential and is expected to have a significant impact on various aspects of our lives. Here are some key possibilities for the future of the metaverse:
ConclusionThe metaverse represents a transformative vision of a shared digital universe that combines augmented and virtual realities with the power of the internet. It offers immersive experiences, social interactions, and endless possibilities for gaming, education, business, and more. As technology continues to advance, the metaverse is likely to become an integral part of our future digital landscape. However, it is important to approach its development and implementation thoughtfully, considering the ethical, social, and practical implications it presents. The journey toward the metaverse has just begun, and we can expect an exciting future where the lines between physical and virtual realities blur, giving rise to a new era of interconnected digital experiences. |
2023.06.09 16:10 MentionComfortable41 What was your experience like when you asked to be released from your calling?
I have never done this before but it's time and I must ask to be released. I'm in a stake leadership position and I have an event at the end of the summer I've been planning for a year that I'm going to see through. I still have a temple recommend technically but when it expires this fall I won't renew because I can't see ever paying tithing again after this year's finance scandal.
I'm going to tell the stake president of my resignation at the end of the summer and I hope it will be a clean break. However, I'm 99% sure he'll try and talk me out of it, or try and debate my reasoning. I'm not interested in this discussion with him in particular. He's just a difficult person. I have no hesitation in asking to be released, I see this as the ethical and moral thing to do. However I don't want to become this stake president's project or have this negatively impact the rest of my family.
Regardless of my reason for leaving, do you have any advice to share on how best to handle asking for a release?
Please share any stories you have about being released from your calling. Thank you!

2023.06.09 16:10 blackbook77 Screen flashes black at random points in the game. Anyone else?
At random points in the game, my screen flashes black for a split second. It happens so quickly that you would literally miss it if you happened to blink at the same time.
Event Viewer doesn't report any graphics driver errors when this occurs, so it's unlikely to be GPU-related.
I'm playing on a 160Hz GSYNC monitor with GSYNC enabled and VSYNC turned off.
I've only had this happen twice so far in my 10-12 hours of playing the game. When it happens seems to be completely random.

2023.06.09 16:10 xgh0lx So series players, how bad is it?
I was thinking about picking it up this weekend but I hate always online crap and feel that if I'm spending $70 on a game is should work and be playable without any issues. Even if it's just waiting in que for a few minutes is not acceptable to me. I'm guessing I'd be better off waiting a while still?

2023.06.09 16:10 raisingheaven The guy at church is giving me mixed signals.
I started attending a new church last year and within a few months of being there I noticed this really cute guy there always staring at me, smiling at me and making an effort to sit near me. Our church is big and I don’t like to assume, so I just thought maybe he was being friendly. He never talks to me but I always see him, and he volunteers sometimes in a separate department from me, and so I interacted with him in passing. It’s been almost a full year since I have attended the church, and recently I decided to try online dating apps. I started on a christian app and within literally less than an hour of my account being active this guy from church super-liked my profile. At first he pretended like he didn’t know we went to the same church, but I assumed he was playing it cool, because later he said he did see me at church. So we started talking and things were going well and he was even opening up to me about his life and things were great, he asked to connect on instagram to take things off the app. For reference I am in my late twenties and he’s in his late thirties.
We’ve been talking on IG for almost three weeks, and in that time he’s asked to meet at church to say hello, I find this a bit odd, I would expect him to want to meet in a dating context for coffee or somewhere outside church when we’re both not serving or in the service. However, I am open-minded. Two weekends have passed and he’s either not messaged me to meet in a place at church and messages me later apologizing after we don't connect, or he didn’t show up to church. He also takes anywhere from 12-24 hours to respond to a message, it feels like we are writing letters back and forth. I understand both of us work and have lives, but every other man that has shown interest in me makes an effort to text me a couple times a day at least and makes plans.
Finally, I responded to one of his messages and ended it with we should meet up sometime outside church. Maybe he’s shy or nervous so I gave him an opportunity. He has not read the message yet, but I am convinced he read it in airplane mode or something because he hasn’t responded to it in two days. He’s been posting on instagram stories, and watching all of my stories.
I find this odd behaviour for a christian man in his late 30’s that serves in the church and knows I do too. If he’s lost interest, changed his mind or met someone else, I would prefer if he would just be upfront with me and say that so I can continue dating intentionally and won’t feel uncomfortable at church. I don't typically like dating and entertaining multiple conversations with men at the same time.
I would love some insight and how to deal with this? Should I unsend my last message, and just ignore him if I see him on service weekends and church? Should I address it with him in a follow-up message? Should I leave my message and confront him in person? I find this so awkward. I don't want to have to pursue him but I also don't like leaving things unsaid. I am not an avoider.

Hey, Kind of a specific ask but figured I could try. I have my apartment alone for this weekend and would really enjoy some company. I am straight but don't mind playing with another good looking guy if they also bring a girl to share. I'm definitely more of a Dom and enjoy giving you orgasm after orgasm. Love giving oral and very much enjoy watching a girl struggle to keep taking my 8" cock after she's cum a few times but I'm not done yet. If you want to stay for the night or just stop by either is fine with me. If you decide to stay for a while we can have some real fun torturing you or torturing both of you with orgasms and whatever else youre into. I have done threesomes and am fully comfortable doing most kinks. We can do some cuck things, spanking, anal, some bondage(i myself dont have alot of bondage things besides a spreader bar and rope so just an fyi on that) just tell me what youre into and we can most likely make it happen. I can verify on snap or however else you want to do that. PS I don't have a 6 pack lol - more of a dad bod but have stamina for days and can guarantee you will cum. White, Italian, have a full beard and am 6 feet tall. Kik is TVLI135569

2023.06.09 16:09 Past_Ad_3187 Me (F25) and my boyfriend (M27) are in a disagreement on who’s in the wrong
English is not my first language, so please excuse any mistakes. My boyfriend and I have been together for 2.5 years and have been living together for the last year. A few weeks ago, I bought tickets for a concert that my BF wanted to go to. Yesterday, we went and it was great. The only problem was that we were a bit hungry from the beginning of the concert and there wasn't anything to eat. So we said we would go eat elsewhere after the concert ended. After the concert, we headed to a bar near our house that serves nice food. I wasn't that hungry because I was drinking (he was driving), but I had a nice time and didn’t want the night to end, it had been a while since we went on a proper date because we are both students. When we got there, there was a waiting list. My BF didn't want to wait because at this point he was starving, so we headed across the street to another place. They were closing, so my BF headed to Domino's. I told him I didn't want pizza, but he could go ahead and order, and I would just grab something when we got home. He offered to get something else for me that's not pizza, but I didn't want anything. It's worth adding that I was interested in getting something from those previous places because I like the food there. We eat pizza at least once a week because my BF loves pizza, but yesterday I wasn't hungry and just not in the mood for anything from there. When it was our turn to order, my BF ordered a large pizza and a meat sandwich (he is vegetarian, so it was obviously for me). I told him I didn't want anything and I wasn't going to eat it, but he didn't care. So I approached the lady who took his order and told her to cancel it. He told her to keep it, and we went on for an awkward minute. I took a chance and paid for the pizza just to make it over, only for him to place another order for a meat sandwich. I was so frustrated and furious because he was so stubborn and wouldn't listen to me, so I got out and started crying. When he came, he didn't understand why I was like this. I told him to stop thinking that he knows what's good for me better than I know. He said I was making a scene in front of people, that it was childish, and a new side of me that he hadn't seen. I didn't back down, and he said that I was walking on thin ice so I told him to break up with me…It wasn't pretty. We got the pizza and headed home. On the way home, I saw the events without a fight in my eyes, so I calmed down and was ready to talk about it. I don't remember what we talked/fought about when we got home, but it ended with him coming to hug me while I was crying. Today, I had to get up early to visit my parents (it was a planned visit), and we talked on the phone to clear the air. My BF thinks he did nothing wrong. He said that I overreacted and he wanted to do a nice thing for me. He didn't want me to have nothing to eat while we sat together and he ate. He also said that 80% of the time when I say I don't want to eat, I end up having a slice. I told him that it's true, but this was obviously not the same case because I was so clear that I didn't want it, and he could tell that. This is not the first time he has done something like this (I'm not going to get into the previous time, but it has to do with him meddling in my school work. He knows it was wrong on his part, and he took responsibility for it). I told him he was being controlling and toxic. He said that I'm influenced by my parents' relationship and that he is not like this. All he wanted was to give me something to eat, and sometimes in a relationship, people make decisions on their own, and he believed my reaction was way out of proportion. I agreed that it wasn't a big deal on its own, but it built up with all the other things. I wanted to know why he insisted on ordering that sandwich when he had a chance to drop it. I said it looked like he wanted to show me who is the boss, and after I pushed him for an answer, he said that he didn't want to give in in front of people and that it wasn't my place to meddle with his order in the first place because he was the one having the conversation and he was planning on buying it, so I have no say in it. We got to the part where each thinks he is right. He kept telling me to tell the story to an outsider so I can get some perspective. So, what do you think? Who is in the wrong here?

2023.06.09 16:09 Ok_Dimension2069 I (26F) am a virgin and I don’t know what to do anymore
This is a rant as I feel none of my friends takes me seriously when I try to talk about my fears and stuff, so perhaps some of you on the internet will.
I am, partly by choice, still a virgin. It’s not something I’m ashamed but I don’t tell people I know openly because it’s obviously a private matter.
The reason why it’s partly by choice is because I was SA’d by a classmate when I was young, it has left a huge impact on me and still fills me with guilt when I think about it. At that age I had no idea what sex and touching each other actually meant or that it was for older people, I was a very sensitive and naive kid. But he made it seem all like a game, and I naively thought we did nothing wrong.
As I grew older I didn’t actually learn to deal with my emotions towards this in the proper way, so I started eating a lot, making me gain quite some weight. So while still being very cautious about having sex I also became very unattractive for people my age. The options I got was older guys who thought I’d be satisfied with them since I couldn’t get anyone else, like they thought I was an easy target. Parts of me just wanted to get it over with, just sleep with them and be done with that, but at the same time the little girl in me was super scared and wanted to look for a safe environment to lose my virginity. I’m also not a very physical person and don’t like when people touch me to much or to hard, which might have to do with my past but it could also just be the way I am.
The years went on and now I’m 26 and still haven’t had sex yet, I’m not suffering from it though to make that clear, and I’ve been in situations where I could’ve, but I’ve not felt safe so I’ve backed out of them. It’s like I’m now scared of having sex, it’s like climbing a huge wall.
The issue now to what I’m supposed to do is that I started seeing this guy recently, we have tons of mutual friends and he’s the sweetest guy walking on this earth. We hung out this weekend and he kissed me a couple of times. I was so nervous but I still felt good about being physical with him in that way, and when he held my hand the whole ride home until I dropped him off I felt like I knew he’s the one to do it with. He’s the one over all.
I’m still scared though, and I don’t want to lie to him about it being my first time, but I’m scared he’ll accidentally slip to someone about it and everyone will know I’m a virgin, which would crush me as it’s very personal. I’m also scared cause I don’t know what to expect and how to act, my best friend says I’ll know instinctively what to do but I’m a very nervous person so I’ll probably end up making everything so awkward…
As I know have finished writing I feel a bit better about getting to say this out loud. If anyone has any good advice or positive words to say I’d love to hear them…

2023.06.09 16:08 kirilale DataAnalyst.com - I launched a niche job board with hand curated data analyst jobs. Here's the summary of how it's going after the fifth month
Hi all,
on Dec 19th I launched DataAnalyst.com - this is the fifth (May) update of hopefully many more to come.
Want to make sure I document the journey, and keep myself honest, so each month I will be making a post about the statistics, progress, some thoughts and what are the next steps I want to be focusing on.
While the main purpose for the post is to bring everyone along on the journey, I do think that members of EntrepreneurRideAlong might benefit from the site, especially those looking to start a new adventure and hoping to get insights into someone elses process.
So, just a reminder that early stages vision is to become the #1 job board for data analysts - hand-picking interesting data analyst job opportunities across industries.
Let's dive right in:
There's now 1,200+ people subscribed to the newsletter, and I can't thank you enough for your support and for joining us on the journey.
While in April the site grew to just over 5,000 monthly visitors across 26,000 pageviews, in May we've been able to cross the 5,000 visitors yet again, with over 28,000 pageviews - not only that, we registered approximately 4,500 data analyst applications being started from the site!
Additionally, I've also had multiple people reaching out, both in comment section of my previous updates, but also in DMs, sharing that they have found the site to be extremely useful in their job search, and that they were able to get interviews and onboard new roles through the site - I absolutely love this, and even if the venture doesn't end up being commercially successful, I'm super happy to hear that it has indeed helped people when needed.
Google impressions are over 50% up, albeit the amount of people clicking through to the site remained flat.
On the positive note - the site has finally ranking for all the major target keywords:
"data analyst jobs / data analyst job / data analyst / data analytics jobs"
Pumped about this, as having multiple channels is crucial to long term growth and protecting the site and traffic from algorithm updates.
b) Product Hunt launch - Early last month I decided to share DataAnalyst on Product Hunt. The idea wasn't necessarily to try and rank up to the top, but mainly get the site out there, and gain a backlink from ProduntHunt that's going to help the site's authority. Overall the voting process is extremely cumbersome, but we did end up with 36 upvotes which was more than I expected.
What that will look like, I honestly have no idea, but experiment, iterate and go again.
Some of you may have noticed that I've also recently launched BusinessAnalyst.com - where I'm looking to replicate step by step what I've done over the last 5 months with DataAnalyst. The overall idea is to create a network of sites, benefiting from the same infastructure, serving and helping different career paths, and making a collaboration with organisations much more appealing (afterall, most companies who hire for data analysts also look for business analysts and vice versa). Arguably, this might not make much sense seeing that DA still hasn't brought any revenue in, but on the other hand, I can reuse the whole tech stack and structures already in place, halve my cost per project, while doubling the surface area to catch me some luck. Anyways, how this will work out is a case study for another time.
With these insights I'm trying to bring answers to questions such as: Which industries are hiring the most? Are we seeing any salary increases? And what about the remote working trend?
With that in mind, I'm excited to share that the first five months of insights were consolidated, and the Salary Guide has now been published.
The data analyst salary guide provides the overview of salaries in various industries - and now also shows a more detailed view on each industry page, with a deep dive into how much entry level, senior and lead data analysts can earn depending on their experience.
This is only based on job opportunities on the site, and no external data sources are utilised. The plan is to have it updated quarterly, with the next update in September.
For the US, we've also released the May edition of Market Insights, you can see the full report here.
Tisha, who is a data analyst at Tesla, has shared some fantastic insights, and I'd love to highlight couple of my favourite quotes from the interview.
On what she loves about being a data analyst:
"For me, the most exciting aspect of being a data analyst is the opportunity to unlock meaningful insights from vast amounts of data. I enjoy the challenge of uncovering patterns, identifying trends, and translating complex data into actionable recommendations. The ability to make a tangible impact on business outcomes and help organizations drive growth is incredibly rewarding."
On her advice for those aspiring to enter the industry, she shares 6 points that everyone should focus on:
Highly recommend reading the full interview.
Thank you all again, and see you in a month.
Alex

1. General Observations
Stats
DataAnalyst.com has been online for just over 5 months and we've brought over 1,250 hand curated data analyst jobs onto the site - all of them including a salary range.There's now 1,200+ people subscribed to the newsletter, and I can't thank you enough for your support and for joining us on the journey.
While in April the site grew to just over 5,000 monthly visitors across 26,000 pageviews, in May we've been able to cross the 5,000 visitors yet again, with over 28,000 pageviews - not only that, we registered approximately 4,500 data analyst applications being started from the site!

Google impressions are over 50% up, albeit the amount of people clicking through to the site remained flat.
On the positive note - the site has finally ranking for all the major target keywords:
"data analyst jobs / data analyst job / data analyst / data analytics jobs"
Pumped about this, as having multiple channels is crucial to long term growth and protecting the site and traffic from algorithm updates.
Things that happened
a) Expired Listings - There's feedback regarding some of the jobs on the site already expiring and leading to non-existing listings. I am trying to come up with a solution where visitors would be able to upvote/downvote and thus highlighting status for everyone else. For now, I went through job listings and marked those roles no longer open as "Expired".b) Product Hunt launch - Early last month I decided to share DataAnalyst on Product Hunt. The idea wasn't necessarily to try and rank up to the top, but mainly get the site out there, and gain a backlink from ProduntHunt that's going to help the site's authority. Overall the voting process is extremely cumbersome, but we did end up with 36 upvotes which was more than I expected.
Expecting a summer slump
With summer, there's typically very little hiring happening / it's extremely slow as people are taking well deserved time off. I'm expecting activity on the site to decrease, and my main goal for this period is getting together a plan of action to start reaching out to companies in Q4 and Q1, educate them about the site, the value proposition and hopefully get a few partnerships on the books.What that will look like, I honestly have no idea, but experiment, iterate and go again.
Some of you may have noticed that I've also recently launched BusinessAnalyst.com - where I'm looking to replicate step by step what I've done over the last 5 months with DataAnalyst.

On a monthly basis, we've been utilising the data available to developing and sharing Market Insights - a deep dive into the data analyst job market, where we can have a look at the job openings and provide you all with insights on the latest hiring trends in the United States.With these insights I'm trying to bring answers to questions such as: Which industries are hiring the most? Are we seeing any salary increases? And what about the remote working trend?
With that in mind, I'm excited to share that the first five months of insights were consolidated, and the Salary Guide has now been published.
The data analyst salary guide provides the overview of salaries in various industries - and now also shows a more detailed view on each industry page, with a deep dive into how much entry level, senior and lead data analysts can earn depending on their experience.
This is only based on job opportunities on the site, and no external data sources are utilised. The plan is to have it updated quarterly, with the next update in September.
For the US, we've also released the May edition of Market Insights, you can see the full report here.
3. "Day in the Life" - a series of interviews with data analysts sharing their experience, thoughts and advice.
The third interview from our series has been published. In these interviews, we aim to share stories and experiences about the route to becoming a data analyst, keeping up with the skillset, recommendations to aspiring data analysts and much more.Tisha, who is a data analyst at Tesla, has shared some fantastic insights, and I'd love to highlight couple of my favourite quotes from the interview.
On what she loves about being a data analyst:
"For me, the most exciting aspect of being a data analyst is the opportunity to unlock meaningful insights from vast amounts of data. I enjoy the challenge of uncovering patterns, identifying trends, and translating complex data into actionable recommendations. The ability to make a tangible impact on business outcomes and help organizations drive growth is incredibly rewarding."
On her advice for those aspiring to enter the industry, she shares 6 points that everyone should focus on:
- Acquire a strong foundation in SQL. This is an essential tool for data analysis and manipulation.
- Familiarize yourself with data analytics tools like Tableau, Power BI, or Alteryx. Demonstrating proficiency in these tools can enhance your employability.
- Seek out internships, projects, or volunteer opportunities where you can gain hands-on experience with real-world datasets and analytical challenges.
- Continuously enhance your skills by staying updated with the latest trends and best practices in the field. Online courses, webinars, and industry conferences can be valuable resources.
- Showcase your skills and projects through a portfolio or personal website. This allows potential employers to see your capabilities and the impact you can make.
- Network with professionals in the data industry through events, online communities, and LinkedIn. Building connections can lead to valuable opportunities and mentorship.
Highly recommend reading the full interview.

Hey guys, So I'm out of town this weekend staying in Niagara Falls and we go to get dinner this weekend and my right blinker does that really quick blinking noise. Get out of the car and sure enough, the bulb is out! So, I'm not anywhere near the regular place I go to for parts (I usually just ask the guy at the counter) and don't want to buy the wrong one at Canadian Tire. Could anyone tell me what bulb a 2011 Chevy Equinox takes for the back right turn signal?

2023.06.09 16:08 maxhyax Any psytrance events in the US midwest this season?
Hey, I moved to Michigan a year ago and couldn't really find any psy festivals in the area. There's one venue in Detroit that had Ott in winter and that's it.
Dunno if it's me searching badly or there's really nothing going on.

2023.06.09 16:08 Ok-Street2439 My idea to radically emphasize the importance of the commander units or generals within armies
 | submitted by Ok-Street2439 to Worldbox [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/5otrs3txsz4b1.jpg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f075e50d4c6d2c332108220132dfe633d48f3abb Overview Leader (Warrior) Also known as generals or bannerman, warriors of their army will follow them wherever they go. If a bannerman dies, a random warrior will be chosen to be the next. My Idea Well its good and all but to me its too simplistic. I mean they are supposed to be generals and yet they are completely replaceable, furthermore whether a general lives or dies they don't really influence nor make major impacts overall aside from running to attack a certain direction. That's why I suggest that generals should have the ability to buff and debuff their own troops based on their traits, this also includes the generals themselves Also if possible in the event that a general or bannerman dies instead of being randomized the next to lead must be chosen among the strongest soldiers How It Works Example: Generals with (Genius) and (Veteran) trait - will have a slightly much better AI on where and when to attack and defend against their enemies. Also all soldiers under their command will have a +5 increase in their stats Generals with (Bloodlust) and (Savage) trait - all soldiers under their command will have a +10 increase in their overall Attack Damage, however with the cost of their HP being reduced to -50 Generals with (Kingslayer) and (Dragonslayer) trait - all soldiers under their command will have a +15 to 20 increase in all their stats Generals with (Stupid) trait - generals with this trait will have slow reaction speed and all the soldiers under their command will have a 30% decrease in their Attack and Critical Damage |
