Do you think it’s worth knowing Tableau/Power BI/SQL if applying for non-technical roles? Seems like most analyst/specialist/coordinator roles are analytics-focused despite the industry/function.

SQL: functionally it’s good to understand a logical structure to be able to QC logic on queries. I’m non-technical, but it enables you to talk through approach with your technical colleagues.
Tableau/powerBi: absolutely. PowerBI is more stable, but I don’t like it as much. I like my teams to have the ability to do basic visualization and design for dashboards.

Well this would be for exit op interviews, not projects. But that makes sense. Seems like these jobs are asking for more than basic knowledge though.

Just out of curiosity, what do you qualify as analytical work? I always associate it with just doing excel but I’ve done very minimal work in excel (if at all) so I feel I haven’t even gotten the analytical exposure unless there are other responsibilities that could count as analytical?

I haven’t gotten the practical experience on projects (though have asked for this kind of work) so it seems hard to prove my “knowledge” of these things in interviews if I just learn it through online trainings so is it really worth the time to take to learn?

Not a bad idea to know enough to be dangerous / supervise

Should I leave my company? Been here 1.5 years and was told I was getting a management promotion 5-6 months ago.Still no solid traction and they are opening up a req for it 😑no one on the current sales team has ever been promoted (2 years)except our boss who has been promoted 3 times. We hit quote every month/q/year by a lot. I have several offers at double my OTE. Already asked what the timeline is for a new manager and I was told soon and I'm "up for consideration."
