Hi Muffaddal Q.. I watched all Videos of MixPanel. I will start to read all docs. But i want to learn about how people use it. My main limitation is that analytics tools are not designed for someone who is truly starting from zero. Even though I have explored tools like Mixpanel, Hotjar, and Amplitude and understand their interfaces, I lack real-world context. I have not worked in an environment where there is a concrete business problem, defined KPIs, clear outcomes, or an existing product and company structure. I have not built dashboards based on real data, analyzed metrics to drive decisions, or translated insights into recommendations for stakeholders. I also have no real system to connect these tools to — such as integrating analytics with Slack, automating workflows with tools like n8n, documenting processes in Notion, or creating end-to-end data flows that grow in complexity over time. As a result, my experience is mostly theoretical and interface-level, not applied or decision-driven. How can I build a comprehensive case study for my portfolio—either as a side project or based on real client work—that demonstrates my familiarity with the tools, clearly checks off the skills recruiters look for in job descriptions, and enables me to confidently tell the story during interviews, even when technical assessments (take-home or whiteboard)—which I’m not sure will occur, but may—simulate real scenarios where I’m presented with a problem, shown an existing dashboard, and expected to explore it, ask the right questions, and walk through the full problem-solving process? Can you tell me if that happens?
