I have 15 years of past experience with SQL, Access, VBA and I tried another career path, but meh, it’s not for me. Last year before I got this job, I took a class in Tableau, but because I got a job, I haven’t gotten certified yet. It’s been about 5 years since I’ve done any data related work and I was very good at process improvement and reporting. Any tips on how to get back into the field?

Not sure if tableau certs are worth the pixels they take up, but maybe others disagree

I would lean hard on that then, sounds like you have a ton of applicable skills.

If you know Tableau then brush up your BI skills and apply Sr BI specialist role in Amazon. All d best.

Tableau skills are the highest skills in demand for any analytics tools. Build some Tableau dashboards and use your Tableau public profile to show off your skills. You can build out resume as an interactive dashboard to stand out to employers. https://public.tableau.com/en-us/s/interactive-resume-gallery

Idk what marketer on that team told you that, PowerBI is bigger and Looker is more loved. Tableau just has a ton of student users cause you guys make it free for classes

Pretty cool with the resume dashboards though!
