If I put Tableau on my resume, can I learn the basics 24-48 hours before an interview if needed (similar to how you can with SQL)?

Wrong question.

“What are some marketable skills I can learn that some random dude can’t bullshit through in a day?”

LOL yeah, probably. But why not just learn it now instead of planning time to procrastinate?

You can learn the basics but you definitely won't be good at it.

Dude/Lady-dude,

As someone proficient in SQL, Tableau, Power BI and others (we call this business intelligence) - it’s not the software, but the data interpretation. That’s to say cool you know how to make a visual, but can you understand my data? interpret with the right visual (quant vs qual)? and visually storytell it to exec level interpretation fir either cost or resource leveraging?

Also, anyone with Microsoft licensing has Power BI built in now. Other than that, Looker is becoming the new hotness.

For a quick 48 buildup - Tableau has many threads on understanding Q&A from basic dashboarding to API integration to workbook Sharepoint integration. Good luck.

Keep bullshitting with the best of us

Why don’t you start learning now?!

Kinda. You’re not going to be as familiar with “how” to exactly do everything. You can probably hit on the concepts though. I.e. grouping and sets,dashboard best practices, live data sources vs extracts.

I don't think so.

For those recommending me to learn, any tips on where to start (e.g., a course you recommend)? Current and foreseeable project work does seem to have any opps.

What advanced courses did you go through A1? Curious because I am looking to skill up

it’s just pivot tables

Power BI is basically a pivot table

So, you can learn SQL in two days?

Interviewing at a dream company, and right from the first interview the recruiter told me we are way off on salary expectations. This was a little bit expected, as the role is requiring a few years less experience than I have and also in a much cheaper market. They already told me the salary range during this first call, but wondering if they like me enough and I get an offer, how I might approach negotiating for more. I would be making much less than I do now, but it is a dream company.

My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
