From 2015 to now, Hanh has worked as the Analytics Manager at Cho Tot.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Data Analytics sounds complicated and dry. Why did you choose this career path?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There is an old Vietnamese saying, \u201c<em>it\u2019s not you who chooses your job, but the job that chooses you<\/em>.\u201d I think this is so true for me (smile).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I believe the luckiest moment of my life is when I started my very first job in the Data sector right after graduation. And the longer I am at it, the more I think it was the best path for my career.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working in the Analytics area, for me, feels like you are doing your final exam. And you have to find the answers no matter the cost. Though, sometimes, time runs out before you can find the right answer. (smile).<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Needless to say, your findings and recommendations are based on data, and might have a big impact, positive or negative, depending on the accuracy of the work you\u2019ve done.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, a business wants to increase their sales revenue and needs analytics to inform their approach.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After analyzing the data, you find that they could increase their revenue by cutting certain low performance salesmen, and you make this recommendation to the business.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, this kind of recommendation needs to be highly accurate as the effect is huge, you might see your heart race until the revenue reports catch up with your forecasts.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This kind of challenge makes me excited to work in Analytics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, data is becoming more and more important to the world. We can see broad shifts in focus to Artificial Intelligence (AI). And the rapid growth in this area might be good motivation to consider moving your career path in this direction.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11960\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11960\" style=\"width: 593px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11960 \" src=\"\/\/itviec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/data-analyst-640x423.jpg\" alt=\"data-analyst\" width=\"593\" height=\"392\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11960\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hanh with her coworkers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>Do you think that Data Analyst and Business Analyst are the same role?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clearly Data Analyst (DA) and Business Analyst (BA) aren\u2019t the same job.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you worked at a large company, such as a bank, you would see a lot of BA in the IT department, where they working 100% as a <strong>BA &#8211; a bridge between business users and developers<\/strong>. Their job is \u201ctranslating\u201d the language of business users to coders, and vice versa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A DA is someone who builds reporting systems, finding valuable insights from data to give the suitable recommendations and solutions to businesses. <strong>A DA is like a painter with data as their canvas<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Could you explain more about similarities\/differences between these two roles?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>1. Differences:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When business people come to a BA, mostly they already know what they want. They only need the BA to interpret and refine their needs in a way the coders will understand.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, when I was working as a BA for MB, my main responsibility was to explain to the project team all the measurements, dimensions and data units, or the calculation of data aggregations from a fixed set of reports. (Though, sometimes, I also improve the reports if needed).<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In contrast, business users often come to a DA with questions, or to confirm an intuition. The DA will use data to answer these, or to give insights and recommendations which businesses can use to plan their future strategy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is also common that DA actively comes to business users to provide valuable insights that they have found during their work.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a DA, I have to be responsible for designing a reporting system and deep dive analysis for daily operations, and the strategy planning work of business users.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><b>2. Similarities:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both of BA and DA interact with, and need to understand the business and data systems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, there is a lot of blurred lines between these two roles, especially in start-up environments, where you could find yourself working as a BA and a DA at the same time every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, both of BA and DA usually have to face this type of question: \u201cThe revenue of my team seems to have decreased recently, how can I monitor it?\u201d, or \u201cI want to check sales performance of each member of my team. Could I have a daily report on our system to do that?\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In these cases, the BA and DA will have the same solution\/recommendation for business users.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3><b>Is Analytics Manager the next step for a Data Analyst in their career path?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on the market or the industry you are working in, there are lots of different jobs in data area.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Vietnam, to my knowledge, most people working in data field are working as a Data Engineer, Data Architect, Database Administrator, Data Analyst or Business Analyst.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But in the USA, you could find much more varied roles such as Data <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visualization Engineer, Statistician, Data Scientist, and so on.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And, most Data Analysts whom I have met in Vietnam seem to want to become a Data Scientist. Perhaps the reason is that \u201cData Scientist\u201d is a trendy title now, and they are promoted as rock-stars in this field, thanks to the media (laugh).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, personally, I think all jobs are equally important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After working with some Data Scientist colleagues of mine in Vietnam and outside the country, I tend to think, more or less, it is the same as the work performed by people whom we call \u201cData Analysts\u201d. The biggest difference is just the percentage of time contributing to different tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DA usually spend more time in deep dive analysis and predictive models.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, from my point of view, I do not think Analytics Manager is the next step in the career ladder, which all DA should aim to. \u00a0As with all other managing positions, when become an Analytics Manager, it means that you are now required to manage and give direction to the team. \u00a0You still need to understand the area to give direction, but it requires a skill set you might not have developed before.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In my specific case, I took this managing position because maybe I am not as good as my colleagues at improving my technical skills and foundation.

But, if you really love working as a DA, you will eventually fall in love with it, I hope. Because, this type of work will help you to understand the whole data system, and how the data is structured. Or, if you dive deep in it, you might understand why the data is recorded in this format rather than the already aggregated format.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11805 aligncenter\" src=\"\/\/itviec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/data-analytics-manager-infographic.jpg\" alt=\"data-analytics-manager\" width=\"595\" height=\"242\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itviec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/data-analytics-manager-infographic.jpg 595w, https:\/\/itviec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/data-analytics-manager-infographic-300x122.jpg 300w, https:\/\/itviec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/data-analytics-manager-infographic-200x81.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11807\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11807\" style=\"width: 595px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11807 size-full\" src=\"\/\/itviec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/data-analyst-infographic.jpg\" alt=\"data-analyst-infographic\" width=\"595\" height=\"257\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itviec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/data-analyst-infographic.jpg 595w, https:\/\/itviec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/data-analyst-infographic-300x130.jpg 300w, https:\/\/itviec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/data-analyst-infographic-200x86.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 595px) 100vw, 595px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11807\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Analytics Manager vs Data Analyst according to Datacamp<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>What are your advantages\/disadvantages when moving from the banking industry to the online industry?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moving from an old industry such as banking to a rapidly growing industry, as well as from an old corporate company to a start-up-at-heart company, to be honest, was quite challenging for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working in a corporate environment is like working in a manufacturing chain, with lots of process and policies, which are built up time to time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working for a start-up company, you have to get used to the daily changes to the work \u00a0process and requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In banking, data is quite clean and accurate as the nature of most products is fixed and the integrity of the data has always been vital to their function.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But with eCommerce, we try to understand the customers as much as we can, so each activity of users while browsing will need to be recorded. And in each stage, we focus on a different activity by users to improve their experience, so we might need to get familiar with a new set of data.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, the nature of the work is quite similar in every company. Thanks to that, it\u2019s easier for me to catch up with the new job after I understand the industry and business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I have to say that all the Data Engineers in our team are really focused on building up a standard to fit the user\u2019s data system needs. It really helps to make my work more efficient.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The biggest mistake you have made so far?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I remember one of my managers once said \u201cThe only one who never makes mistakes, is one who never works\u201d. Oh well, as I am a hard-working person (laugh), I did make a mistake, a big one.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When I was working as DA and BA at the same time for a quite big project, after completing the preparation work for data\/methodology\/calculation tools, at the very last stage, we needed one tool to upload customer\u2019s information to our website. At that point, we had about 2 millions customers. However, during the discussion, we didn\u2019t talk about the upload.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the day we had to upload the information, I found out that the upload tool which IT built for us had a maximum capacity of 20k records per upload. Meaning we would have to upload 100 times, taking 1 hour each time, not including the time to transfer from data server to the upload tool.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the end, I had no choice but ask my manager for help. And as we couldn\u2019t delay deploying the project to our customers, all the team members had to suspend all their work to do manual uploading using that simple upload tool.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After that, the IT team had to upgrade that tool to a more advanced version, which could perform all that work in around 20 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My mistake slowed down the whole team\u2019s work and we had to delay some other lower priority deadlines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The lesson learnt? \u00a0<strong>Once you are a DA, you have to pay attention to every single detail.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11802\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11802\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11802 size-large\" src=\"\/\/itviec.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/07\/Hanh_choose_3-1-640x416.jpg\" alt=\"data-analyst-chotot\" width=\"640\" height=\"416\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11802\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hanh with coworkers at Cho Tot<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><b>Who inspires you in this career path?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mr <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Muthukrishnan, Head of Retail Bank Finance Analytics of HSBC in India, who was my first mentor, and who always inspired me to work in Analytics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mr <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Muthukrishnan is a leader with great vision, who always has a solution\/recommendation for every business situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, at that point of time, when all the team members were new, with a strong economics background but no knowledge in coding, he was the one who encouraged and gave us space to learn SQL\/SAS, and the one who proved that nothing is impossible if we kept trying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I mentioned above, he\u2019s the one who said \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only one who never makes mistakes, is one who never works<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201d, which is, to me, a great encouragement to try new things, improve and become more innovative.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>After nearly 10 years in this field, what are the 3 biggest lessons you learnt?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><b>1. Be data driven<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I read this book called Every Data, and I recommend it to all who are interested in data. In the book, the author demonstrates how we consume a huge amount of data everyday. For that, we should be data driven in every decision we make.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, if your boyfriend told you bad things about each of his five exes, a simple predictive model will tell you that, if you ever break up with him, you will be the 6<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> one he says bad things about.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, it seems a lots of women consider themselves the outline-rs (laugh).<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><b>2.

The one requirement he always gives me, is make it simple to the point that anyone can understand.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most important thing is to deliver the message to the audience, not to show off your \u201cbehind the scene\u201d work, or your advanced statistics or data analysis technique.<\/span><\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><b>3. Don\u2019t stop improving<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The field and the industry are moving forwards constantly, which requires us to adapt. After surviving \u00a0a long time in this industry, I know that this is the most important lesson in my life, and one that I always have to follow.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Do you have any advice to young people who want to pursuit a Data Analyst career?<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Analytics jobs needs a lots of your patience and time, and not every finding, project or research that you do will have big impact on the business, please please please be patient and have lots of love in what you are doing.
