“It’s a maraphon and you need to be patient”
Alex 🇨🇦
When I moved to Canada, I decided to change careers from risk analytics after 10 years in the field. I applied to 220 data analyst jobs, went through 16 interviews, but kept getting rejections. I even tried returning to risk analytics, but with limited success.
I then set my sights on data engineering, even though it felt like a huge leap. With the support of the data community—especially Dmitry, who guided me on what tools to learn and how to improve my resume—I began to feel more confident. After facing initial rejections, I learned to refine my approach and focus on the key problems interviewers wanted to solve.
Within three months, I applied to 45 jobs, attended 8 interviews, and finally landed an offer. My experience taught me that job searching is a marathon—persistence and support from the right people make all the difference.
“Surfalytics SQL course helped refine my skills”
Max 🇨🇦
It's been almost a month since I started my new job, and I’m really enjoying it. The role involves data processing and storage, which is exactly what I wanted. The salary is great too! But it wasn’t easy—I had to learn a lot before and even more now on the job.
When I joined Surfalytics I barely knew anything about SQL beyond a basic SELECT query. Terms like data warehouse and Kimball were completely foreign to me. But thanks to your clear explanations, I finally understood the big picture—how everything works together in data teams.
Looking back, here’s some advice I’d give to anyone starting out:
1. Decide early whether you want to focus on BI, data engineering, analytics, or data science, and stick with it.
2. Start applying for jobs as soon as possible. You’ll quickly identify gaps in your knowledge and know where to focus your learning.
3. Repeat what you learn, or you’ll forget it! I took SQL courses three times in less than a year because I didn’t use it enough at my old job. It only stuck when I started building my own projects.
4. Create a GitHub repository or Tableau Public portfolio for your projects. This not only helps reinforce your learning but also gives you something to show during interviews and can be useful in your future job.
Thanks again, and good luck to everyone in the community—don’t give up!

Anton 🇵🇱
In June 2020, I discovered Surfalytics, and it became a game-changer for me. Early on, I realized the importance of data analytics, and some webinars were incredibly useful. After some time, I landed a job as a systems analyst in retail product development, earning an average starting salary.
With 7 months of experience and self-study (~10 hours a week), I managed to secure a new offer with a salary about 2.5 times higher. Surfalytics SQL course, one of the best out there, helped refine my skills. Networking played a big role too—I wasn’t even planning to change jobs, but the opportunity found me!
