if i had to hire a guy for some kind of data role it would be for analytics.
>software
so i'd want them to be experienced with different analytics packages and not just something like google analytics, but different backend ones as well.
>databases
they should also have some basic skills with databases, especially postgres or mysql so they can analyze the databases too, since there's alot of other kinds of data that gets stowed in the databases.
>programming
python might be the best option here, but R and even JS would work. i know d3.js is popular but i've tried it and its a huge hassle, but if it works for you then it is what it is. scripting languages also help you with the database analytics.
>portfolio
their portfolio should consist of projects that show that the guy can extract value from real world data. like show me how can i decrease bounce rate, or increase retention time, or get more people into the sales funnel, etc. your whole goal should revolve around how to make money from someone else's data, that way the bossman has a reason to hire you.
