Everyone says you need experience to get a data job. So I built you a job.
Analyst Week is a free, simulated first week as a junior data analyst at Goldcomb Goods, a fake online store. Five SQL tickets from your manager, messy data, numbers that don't agree, and a performance review at the end.
Your first day starts Monday, 8am ET

How your week works
One ticket lands at 8am ET each morning, Monday to Friday. Each one is a real question a junior analyst gets, answered with SQL right in your browser. Nothing to install.
A simple question
Leadership wants to know how many customers you have. Find your way around the data and send Dana a number.
Dana pushes back
Your manager has questions about your number. Learn why the first answer is rarely the one the business needs.
Something looks off
Refunds spiked and finance wants answers. Before you blame anyone, make sure the data can be trusted.
Two numbers, one month
Sales and Finance report different revenue, and both swear they're right. You're the tiebreaker.
Brief leadership
Turn your week into three findings for a VP. Then your performance review and certificate are waiting.
Questions & Answers
Yes. No card, no trial, no catch. If you like it, there's an optional next step inside Analyst Hive at the end, but you never have to take it.
Tickets don't expire. Catch up whenever you can and pick up right where you left off. Finish all five by Sunday to wrap the week on time. If life gets in the way, the tickets stay open.
No. It's a simulation. Goldcomb Goods is a fictional company, Dana is a fictional manager, and the data is made up. The skills you use and the stories you can tell in an interview are real.
Know the basics (SELECT, WHERE, JOIN, GROUP BY)? You're ready. Each ticket teaches the rest one step at a time, with hints if you get stuck.
No. The SQL runs right in your browser. Use a laptop or desktop, though. The editor needs a real keyboard.
