Hakim_saab and love4nepal,
I have been working for 5 years as a Data analyst. My job is just to create query, run reports in SAP Business Object, SQL then analyze data in Excel. I have basic understanding of SQL (writing simple query, joining tables etc.). I am good in MS Access and expert in MS Excel (Most of advanced functions). I have just realized that I have to learn more if I want to be in Data Analytical field. I like to play with number and want to continue in this field. I am just confused where to move next: Big Data, SAS, SAP or something else which is relatively easy to learn.
Could you please suggest which field would be better for someone who has basic Data analysis skills but no programming knowledge? How difficult it is to learn SAS Credit risk Modeling/Analytics/Reporting/ in Finance? Does it require programming knowledge to learn? I have BA in Finance and have been analyzing financial data for some time so I got interested on this one I read this thread.
I recently heard that Apache Spark and Scala are one of the popular Big Data tools but I don’t know how hard it is to learn. If someone could share their expertise, I would really appreciate it.
