My spouse is preparing for interviews and want to add reporting to her profile as she is searching for a job. She is a data warehouse engineer with 9+ yr experience. She works on SQL, Teradata, BigQuery but looks like job market like snowflake more (so she is learning it also). The problem with BQ and Looker is, they r on GCP when most of the world is ( or planning to be) on AWS or Azure. What is recommended? Tableau or PowerBI #data #dataanalytics #gcp #bi #bq
It really depends on the company. I see more Tableau than PowerBI these days. If she's familiar with BigQuery, Looker is also worth considering since it's already part of GCP. Spotify is using Tableau & Looker, depending on the team.
Tableau is a better product than Power BI, but as always, Microsoft introduces something to Office that companies don't have to pay extra for upfront, and eventually it catches up to the competition. Power BI is getting better but still behind Tableau. Companies who have budget in mind prefer it but users almost universally prefer Tableau.
Power BI.. since it's backed by Microsoft and far cheaper in comparison to Tableau.. so obviously most companies will slowly use power bi more
Fake it and ask chatGPT when you need to do stuff in it. If you’re wife is technical enough to write SQL on her own she shouldn’t waste her time learning how to click through menus.
She is brilliant with SQL and data warehousing, and can do some python LC easy (haven’t worked much on python at job). Where should she invest her time to prep for interviews as every job posting is expecting Tableau/PoweBI apart from many other things. She gave up on pyspark/spark as it involves coding on top of frameworks.
dbt would be smart. That’s just sql wrapped up in jinja, which is python-like. And keep an eye out for analytics engineer job title.
I came to Tableau because I believe in their product, yes we cost more than PowerBI, but we also have a lot more features and customizability. Besides, who wants to be caught up in Microsoft's web anyway? Once you're in their net, they'll continue to pull you into their ecosystem. It's fine for some things, but for others it can sometimes cause problems. Most likely it depends on your user base and the number of data sources the intend to connect to, AFAIK Power BI doesn't support as many data sources.

What happens when most of your team is Indian?
Big companies use Tableau. Not so big companies go for Power BI as it’s cost friendly. Learning curve is probably the same. I have worked on both and I like Tableau better. End of the day both are great tools with ample opportunities.
