Not happy with my job

[Savvy Rose]

Right now I'm working as a data analyst in a insurance industry
and not at all happy with it for part time at home after work I'm working on some methods from bhw and yes I got some success but
not so good enough that I can leave my pathetic job.

I have a good skill of excel and little bit of sql what you people will suggest ?

try try try ?

or

quit your job and then sit back at home and do your stuff, find ways which makes money for you and you are satisfied in it ?

what should i do ?

 

[kenksk]

Pretty much the same situation here. Need to secure income before quitting though. I suggest try try try and work the same time until it's possible.

You stay at your job, save as much of your wages as you can until the day you set up working for yourself, so you have some emergency funds.

Learn as much as you can while you have the safety net of employment.

Not really, there are plenty of guides in the download section, Udemy will have free and cheap courses.
There's also a few people on here who do this for their job, who will be able to help you out with the coding etc if you ask on here.

Do not quit just yet.

Save up as much as possible and learn how to make money online. Once you earn enough online & have saved up , quit and focus purely on making money online.

As awesome as it sounds to "just quit your job and follow your dreams", it's really not the brightest idea in many cases. If you can reduce the risks involved (which you can as mentioned above) - do it.

Do not go for the 2nd option. If you quit your job, you will start to get desperate to make something work. I doubt if you will be able to make any sane decisions in this mindset. Keep the IM part time until you start to get a steady stream of income.

I worked for as low as $2.50/hr on freelance internet work sites doing easy/repetitive tasks on other people's affiliate/referral marketing and e-commerce websites just so I could get an inside look at how things were done by other people - it really helped me, sort of like a crash course in making money online. I learned from their mistakes and came up with my own ideas for improvement, so when I started my own marketing ventures I had far less hiccups than the people I had previously worked for.

many people has same problem do invest online in some website or app and earn mate

 

[norton88]

I'm tired of my job too, I work in wholesale and I'm absolutely tired of costumers and my boss.
I hope I can build a regular income on internet so I could quit this slavery.
But unfortunately I'm running out of ideas and time.

You have received some great answers already, but just to throw my hat in...

You are in a privileged position to have a job. I am forever telling people who are trying to scrape together some income online to get a proper job. You have one.

If I were in the same situation, I would put together a detailed analysis of how much I am spending each month to keep myself happy, lets say $2,000 a month.

Then I would try to get figure to be as low as possible, while still in my current job. All of the time you are doing that, you are also incidentally saving money too. So let's say we get it down to $1,300, great.

In the background, on the weekends and whatnot - I would then start to earn money online, all the income I a would be making above $1,300 would be going straight to savings. When my online income matched my monthly budget - I'd quit.

I would also make sure I had enough savings to carry my family through any kind of rough patch, or unforeseen circumstance.

You have to have something to fall back on if what you'd like to do doesn't work out. And that job that you have now, no matter how pathetic it is, is still of some help you. Do not quit your job just because you don't like it. You have bills to pay. It's all about managing your time and making the most of what you like to do so that what you don't like to do won't feel like the biggest burden you've got.

Data analytics is one of the most stable professions out there. The rate of stress to pay is outstanding. You get insight into your marketplace. You get to turn numbers into art.

How in the world are you a "data analyst" with only Excel and "a little bit of SQL", though? If you want to make things exciting and very much increase your pay, I suggest stepping it up in regards to analytics knowledge. Take a stab at R or SAS. Learn how to use Tableau or Power BI. Expand your knowledge and expand your insight.

Do IM on the side until it eclipses your day job monthly income for 12 straight months and you have six months of emergency fund as a buffer. This will decrease your stress if you do decide to venture out on your own, and allow you more time to focus on expansion and less time having to focus on putting food on the table.

you should have other source of income before quitting a job

Yes stick with your job, I left mine at the end of December to devote full time to IM and partly because boss sucks he has some unrealistic sales demands. At the time of leaving job I was well aware of what I am about to face and had funds for next 5 months in savings. I was growing impatient each day not getting any income from IM (I am newbie to IM). It took me just 3 weeks to realize it wasn't worth leaving that stable income behind. After 4 weeks I managed to do some Fiverr and services reselling stuff. The gains were not enough to keep me going. I did not want to risk going that way I reached out to my boss and he was happy to take me back! Now I am going to do IM work on side.

So you can help me better with increase the pay in my profession, should I pay to learn SAS or R ? or you will suggest me to have online training course and I know I have to use that knowledge with as much scenarios then only I'll be able to learn it.

What you'll suggest ?

 

[vasentry]

Don't quit your job, first look out for a good job, than quit. If you have money back up, you can quit. If you don't have anything in your hand than don't quit.

 

[jack9319]

do not quit your job..

 

[awesomewebsites]

quit your job and then sit back at home and do your stuff, find ways which makes money for you and you are satisfied in it ?

what should i do ?

Do not quit your job. Start working on an alternative project with job. Once you start earning good money from side project, you can think of leaving the job. This is possible. I know a guy who made website related to Excel tutorials and that website has revenue in millions.
