But the methodologies and tools used for the same are different. Therefore, you can choose to specialize in one career stream and continue progressing in it, or you can learn both.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>In order to make a clear distinction, let\u2019s define both the streams separately.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><b>What is Big Data?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Big Data refers to the management and operations performed on extremely large data sets (one data set is often greater than 100GB) in order to extract patterns, trends, and insights that can power business decisions. Therefore, you have to cultivate expertise working with a large amount of data, and meet specific challenges that it presents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>What all you learn in Big Data Analytics Training?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data optimization techniques.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding relationships and patterns.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Big Data tools such as Hadoop, MapReduce, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compiling, sorting, and processing data using Python, R, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>What is Data Analytics?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data analytics deals with obtaining relevant and very specific information out of smaller data sets. Where a Big Data analyst will sort through millions of rows of data, a Data Analyst will work on finding the statistical parameters in a given range. It involves reporting of elementary but well-defined parameters than can be analyzed for business value.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>What is taught when you learn Data Analytics?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Applying statistical principles to data sets.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compiling and disseminating information from data sets.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generating goal-oriented reports for decision-makers.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Working with analytical techniques for smaller data sets.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Which one to learn first?<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Direct Path<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/imarticus.org\/\"><b>Imarticus<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we have made both the options available to the students. They can dive straight into <a href=\"https:\/\/imarticus.org\/post-graduate-program-in-data-analytics\/\">Big Data Analytics Training<\/a> which will prepare them for Big Data from grassroots levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/imarticus.org\/post-graduate-program-in-data-analytics\/\">Learning Big Data<\/a><\/strong> directly ensures that the students are absorbing the concepts they\u2019ll use in professional places directly. They\u2019ll be trained on various tools used in Big Data so that they can come to speed with the industry scenario.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Same is the case with Data Analytics. Students can learn Data Analytics directly and make it as their career objective. In case they don\u2019t want to get into Big Data, this is an excellent Data Science alternative for them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Progressive Path<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second option available to students is to specialize in both Big Data and <a href=\"https:\/\/imarticus.org\/post-graduate-program-in-data-analytics\/\">Data Analytics<\/a> but in a progressive way. They\u2019ll study Data Analytics first and then shift their focus to Big Data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although there is a significant difference between the two career streams, the underlying concepts remain the same. Therefore, someone with the knowledge of Data Analytics will not find it difficult to make the switch. Rather, they\u2019ll be able to advance their career at will.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Conclusion<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As Data Science flourishes as a career, Big Data and Data Analytics continue to be the two best career streams in the market.
