Analytics
Analytics is the foundation of data-driven decision making, encompassing the collection, processing, and interpretation of data to generate business insights. In today's digital economy, analytics skills are essential across product, marketing, operations, and engineering roles, making them one of the most broadly valuable capabilities in tech.
What is Analytics?
Analytics covers web analytics (Google Analytics, Mixpanel, Amplitude), product analytics, marketing attribution, SQL-based data analysis, dashboard creation, and statistical interpretation. It involves defining metrics, building funnels, running cohort analyses, and translating data patterns into actionable recommendations. Modern analytics work spans self-serve dashboards, event tracking design, and A/B test analysis.
