[Excel] Top Skills required for Data & Business Analyst in Tokyo

• I collected and analyzed 39 current Data & Business Analyst job recruitment posts for personal excel data analysis project. I especially collected the data from international companies rather than completely local ones.

Top 10 Skills required to work in international companies as data analyst:

Learning programming languages like SQL, Python, and R is super important

SQL is required more often than Python or R; therefore, it will be important for me to prioritize mastering SQL first.

Data Visualization skill discovered to be required second most.

While the companies demanded different visualization skills, Tableau was required the most and followed by Power BI, Excel, Qlik, and Looker Studio.

And of course, being bilingual and holding bachelors degree were basic requirement to go through the interview process in international companies in Tokyo.

Having domain knowledge, communications skills, and problem solving skills were also required as the works require delicate synergy among lots of stakeholders to actually bring the nutritious results.

Lastly, having expertise in data science methods and experience in dealing with large datasets become large preferential points in some companies that do projects involving large database.
