Hi Fishes, I was hired by Optum as Tableau Developer in June 2021. One year passed and I was just doing support and maintenance work on Tableau dashboards (no new development). Now the company wants me to work on Power BI and convert all dashboards into it. I want to make my career in Tableau and I don't want to work on Power BI as I find it hard as compared to Tableau also less interesting. My last company also does the same thing so I left that company within 6 months. Optum
Can someone help?
You have seen exactly what 90% of the companies are hiring people for these days.
Very soon you will find that, there is no job for Tableau in the market.
Power BI is a trend these days, and it seems it will stay for a long time due to below reasons.
- It integrates very well with all office 365 products,and feel likes it's the additional feature of the same products. Like Excel, MS team, Outlook, Power point, SharePoint.
- Ofcourse works superb with Azure data platform,
I don't want to go with 100s of other aspects as why companies are adopting this, but one thing is for sure that you can't stay with Tableau for long now.
For your motivation-
You are the one of those very less Tableau developers who accepted that Power BI is harder, it means that you are on a good path and you really have started learning it. Otherwise most of the people are ignorant about the capability of Power BI because they don't know what you know are about to know.
Thanks for the motivation Bosch 1 😇
Power bi has more value may be ? Just learn it and have both skills in your bag. If they are both related it’s better for you to know them both than sticking to one
You even know the reason ! More the reason to expand your skills

As a business person we will switch to technology which is better in latency, operational cost and maintenance. Always align yourself accordingly otherwise it won't take much time to find a replacement. It all comes under BI and all are tools. Don't you think a person who has done dashboarding in excel will not be able to learn tableau or PowerBI. Saying stories by dashboard is an art and it should not be tool dependent.
