Data analyst Review

I am working in the Financial conduct Authority as a data analyst apprentice. My role is to collect, organise and study data to provide business insight. A typical day involved managing, cleansing, abstracting, and aggregating data, and conducting a range of analytical studies on that data. I work across a variety of projects, providing technical data solutions to a range of stakeholders/customers’ requests. I document and report the results of data analysis. I am trying to build a good understanding of data structures, database systems and procedures and the range of analytical tools used to undertake a range of different types of analyses.

Every Thursday is my study day and I do not do anything else apart from my study, and watching some live tutorials. I have often meetings with my Mentor to discuss my development, and I have meetings with my tutor. Every unit we learn after test our skills with assessments and we have a time table to help us organise our time.

My manager has often meetings with me and he plans after which project I have to work and how he can help me to develop extra skills. Also my colleagues share all their knowledge to help me learn faster.

I have every Friday meeting if I struggle with something they explain and help me to move on with my assessments and project I am working on.

A lot. Everything I learn with the college is all skills my colleagues use everyday to solve problems.

Yes

Because is a nice place to work with a very good culture and values. Also you learn a lot of things and your job is very interesting.
