Advice for Data Analyst Career (lemmy.ml)

I’m starting as data analyst (roughly bachelor level). My responsibility will be to analyze time series data and classify agents and write reports. I won’t be responsible for the database management. It’s likely that I have to use R because my colleagues use R. I guess I may use python if it’s more appropriate.

Which books and other things can you guys recommend? What should I avoid?

You'll probably have to generate a lot of plots, graphs and figures. Choosing the right type of figure to explain the data is an important skill - maybe have a play with some of the examples from https://r-graph-gallery.com/
