Hi all, Curious if anyone has a. Taken/ passed the Tableau Data Analyst certification, and if so, b. How much you’re base pay/ TC has been effected? I passed the Tableau Desktop Specialist certification several months back, might look at taking the Data Analyst cert if it’s worth the $250. One key difference is it expiring after 2 years versus the Desktop Specialist lasting forever. YOE: 1.5-2 TC: 🥜 (<100k)
@Cognizant I do have about 20 dashboard projects + analytics visualizations so far on my Portfolio. 100% agree!

I don’t know about the certification, but having tableau expert on the resume as a data analyst raises your value immensely to orgs who report in Tableau or even more for orgs looking to adopt Tableau. I’d say 15% bump if you’re a data analyst, depending on the company size +/- 10%
That’s huge. Are you saying like having responsibilities on your resume that make you appear as a go-to/ “expert” with Tableau?
Be an expert in Tableau. Show that you have built transformational products, such as dynamic dashboards that were the top-adopted in the org, show that you did and can do tableau admin work for the org (50+ people, it’s not hard really)… That type of stuff is really meaningful to orgs, if you find the right one with an urgent need to fill a position you can leverage it to ask for higher comp
TC? I haven't needed certs or public portfolio. Although I've obtained a M.S. in data analytics recently. 160k
Just included TC/ YOE. Also, did yours happen to be from Georgia Tech? I’m starting there next Spring for OMSA, to really build up the Python R and ML side more
WGU, but I've heard the Georgia tech program is better. Good luck 🤞
Thanks! Out of curiosity what’s your YoE @ 160 TC?

Which large tech companies you think will last 20+ years?
I don’t think tableau certification has importance anymore as during pandemic so many people did this certification, I will recommend to have tableau public portfolio over certification.
