I landed Data Analytics jobs at Amazon, TikTok, and Accenture in London without studying in the UK. Subscribe for help with your career! Hi, I'm Tamer, a Data Analyst at TikTok. I graduated from NYU with a major in Economics and a minor in Computer Science. I spent considerable time figuring out what field I wanted to work in and securing jobs at top tech firms in London as an international graduate who didn't study in the UK. That's why I created the CareerTalks , to help students and young professionals in my position :)
