Right now I’m a data analyst with TSQL/PLSQL/MySQL experience. I have experience writing complex queries/views/stored procedures/etc. I have intermediate excel skills and have dabbled in Power BI. I also taught myself PowerAutomate and now am automating my weekly/monthly tasks. My question is what will make me more marketable as a data analyst? Will getting my certificate in PowerBI help? What is a good ETL tool to learn?

I wouldn’t worry about getting certified in Power BI. Just focus on Python

Okay… my “Python” response was rather empty. In terms of SQL, make sure you can do the following:
1. Design a normal schema (star/snowflake)
2. Perform analytic queries ( OVER / PARTITION BY )

For Python, get familiar with dataframes and Pandas and Numpy

If you want to progress to Data Science, scikitlearn

Don’t forget business and marketing skills. A data analyst with technical skills only will face challenges as it relates to career growth. The market wants you to be technical but also commercially aware.

Yea Power BI is pretty intuitive and easy to learn (very similar to tableau). As everyone said, I’d focus on Python at this point. It’s pretty straight forward as well.

Best of luck!!

The ole "storytelling" comes to mind. What does that mean? Be able to demonstrate that you can crunch the numbers (hard skills) but also interpret what happened and why/what influenced the observed performance or business outcomes (be commercially aware), and then also understand a bit of strategy and come to the table with recommendations or answers to:

So what? Why should your stakeholders care?
What should your stakeholders do about it? What do you want or need from them [to drive business success]?
What are the next steps?

It's insufficient to just dump out what happened and to a lesser extent why it happened. Stakeholders need guidance around what to do about it.

My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?
