I’m starting a new role as a data analyst in a few weeks. From my understanding, the programs I will be using regularly include Excel, Tableau, PowerBI, SQL, and occasionally R. What laptop would you suggest? I can choose either a Macbook or PC (not sure what kind of PC though). TIA!

If it’s a lot of Excel, PC. If the Excel is minimal, Mac.

I'd just ask your new team what they all use and pick the same thing in case there are compatibility issues. Most likely windows I'd think?

Whatever you do, get a lot of RAM. The max offered

Use whatever your team is using. (If you’re expected to use PowerBI regularly I’d assume it’s a PC but double check with colleagues)

Thanks for the input everyone! Will reach out to my team and see what their suggestion is. It seems that a PC is probably the better choice

PC is probably your best bet, especially if we’re talking about Macs with apple silicon

Hi

Thanks .

first call with SF CSG Recruiter is scheduled for Senior Architect role. Appreciate insights from you all.
1. How is work life balance in CSG?
2. What is the typical billability target? Does one have to market oneself for billability or the Practice lead takes care of it?
3. Honestly- I have seen SF people pushing for products which are really not needed by clients. I can never do such a thing - so is there an expectation from the AE’s that Architects should do so?

TIA
