Questions
Do I need Python?
Not for most entry-level web analytics roles. SQL, a spreadsheet and a BI tool come first. Python or R becomes useful for larger datasets and statistics, especially at mid and senior levels.
Is this role only in marketing?
No. Web data analysts also work in product, e-commerce, finance and operations. Starting with web and marketing data is a common way in because the data is accessible and the questions are concrete.
Where do the salary numbers come from?
From published salary surveys, official statistics and job listings. Every country lists its sources with dates, and each row carries a confidence rating. The ranges are typical, not promises, and your offer depends on the company, the city and your skills.
Does FunnelGym guarantee a job?
No. FunnelGym teaches by practice and gives you projects to show. Hiring is the employer's decision, and results depend on your own experience and effort.
How often is the data updated?
We refresh it regularly and show the last collection date for each country. When a number is missing, we say that it is being researched rather than guess.
Try the work before you decide
The first lessons are free. You practise on realistic campaigns and see whether this is the job for you.
