What stack have you typically used on projects?

A comment in the pinned thread about ACN being Tableau heavy got me wondering if certain firms end up landing projects at least in part on expertise with particular app/platform flavors

Ex:
- Tableau vs PowerBI vs Looker
- R vs Python vs something fringe like Julia
- AWS vs Azure vs OCI vs ... etc etc

Current:
Tableau, SQL Server/RDS, Alteryx for POC, Python, R, spark on my team but not across the org.

Former:
Power BI, SQL Server, Azure, homegrown python for virtually everything else.

Both of these orgs are led by former consultants and both relied heavily on the tooling most familiar to them when building out our stack — especially the former.

Agreed- Tableau/SQL/Python/Spark is the stack I would use with clients

It is absolutely the case that firms land projects due to expertise on specific platforms. I’d say this is more the norm than not when your buyer is a Sr Director or below.

In some firms, I’ve used Tableau, but for the most part, companies use Power BI in the world of fundraising analytics from my experience. Our coding language has consistently been “flavors” of SQL

So pretty much you work In consulting, get paid half of what fang people make and In many cases work IB hours to meet clients continually changing demands . All the while the consulting project is built on a half thought out rushed tech stack/architecture? Meanwhile tech companies expose their employees to best in bread tech stacks? I really don’t understand why anyone in the field would work as a consultant doing data work? The only + is in consulting there are lots of low hangin fruit 🍎.

Coming to the realization that consulting is not for me (tech person) feeling angry that salaries at D will never be on pair with FANG and that leadership is not tech focused. For example you could be a soul contributor at fang making 240k and people at Deloitte wait 10+ years to earn that as Senior Managers because they need to climb the corporate ladder. It seems super clear cut to me now, if you want to make money in tech don’t join consulting firms. Am I wrong?
