How to get a job in Analytics?

I am a fresher. I have already applied to over 60+ companies regardless of their WLB and other aspects. I also have a good portfolio of personal projects.

Most people say to find a small startup and directly message the founder(s) and proceed along with it. But I'm unable to find which ones are good companies. Even if I use Linkedin Search by using number of filters, it anyway gives me 1000s of results.

It's so hard to find a good company to work for. Also, I dont won't to work for Big 4 or other huge names.

And even if I find and apply for the role, most companies don't respond. Only half of the companies sent me automated acknowledgements for my applications and around 10 companies rejected me straight away. Got interviewed at 2, but failed.

Any tips on how to find good companies (of any size) and increase the probability of getting interviewed?

Solve as many SQL problems as you can , From StrataScratch, Leetcode ,Ankit bansal playlist etc. Make good Use of filters in LinkedIn and Naukri. Send resumes via email to the recruiters and explain why you are a better option.

Be consistent Be patient

If you are not from tier 1 college and if you don't have atleast 2 years experience as an analyst
How do you expect it to be easier to get a analyst job at good product based company at this point of time?

Been in analytics for 5ish years now, everyone gets in it as a fluke, unless you're tier 1. But this is not that if you know your basis SQL, python and math. There is not a designated path to analytics.

Not sure they'll hire me. More competition as well... Most people aim for to get into such companies... I'll be 1of the 1000s of applicants. Not even sure if my resume will be read by them or their ATS.
