Do you have a personal page on Github or any other platform where you showcase your work/projects etc? I know Software engineers use Github and heard my friends say it helps add value to resume during interviewing.

Do data analytics and Business Intelligence folks do this too ? Like a Tableau page to show fancy dashboards etc.,

It definitely doesn’t hurt but it isn’t generally needed for the analytics space.

My biggest project deals with optimizing a random forest classification model in R using hyperparameter tuning. It showcases my ability to 1) understand concepts related to data science 2) understand data concepts related to data analytics 3) code in r 4) run an experiment. My other project is just a silly dashboard I built in javascript.

I don’t have one and I probably should (Data Engineer, manager level).

It can’t hurt you. But if you were trying to show off pretty tableau dashboards or data vis skills, I think a personal website like what UI/UX people do would be more appropriate.

I have a GitHub I haven't pushed to in a year 🤷‍♂️
Was gonna make an actual portfolio page too, but never got around to it. Turns out it's more of a vanity statement, have gotten by fine without one. Might need to do an OSS project soon here though, just to give HMs browsing the hub something fresh 😏

All my positions and interviews were done with examples of dashboards in Tableau Public, including their interview coursework. 'Fancy' dashboards is ok and shows your ability to communicate with your clients and that you understand what they need and have the ability to design a solution for them.

Interviewing? No. Majority of the firms give you a take-home exercise/case study and that’s how they decide who makes the cut. It’s different in SWE because one either solves a coding test or doesn’t, data analytics case studies are more nuanced and typically the final output is on a PowerPoint.

I have a github with analytics projects, but from my experience they are not really all that useful. I see many entry level analytics jobs receive 200+ applications in 24 hours. I highly doubt that hiring managers have time actually take a look at your projects.
