• Tableau Certified Data Analyst Exam Readiness

  Hey everyone, I'm interested in taking the Tableau Certified Data Analyst Exam Readiness course through tableau.com to prepare and get Tableau certified. I had some questions about the course, such as are the videos pre recorded or in person, do you have access to the material once the 90 days expire, and I was also wondering if anyone had input/advice for this course. Thanks! Source: 11 months ago

• Where to publish knowledge sharing on Tableau reverse engineering and data dictionary generation?

  Could anyone recommend what media I should approach to publish my work (internet or print). I could try the Tableau forum in tableau.com but it's not very active + Tableau may be unappreciative as my work overlaps with their (pricey) data management solution. Plus it needs to be some high visibility / reputable media to count for my career development. Any recommendations welcome thanks!!! Source: over 1 year ago

• I have huge loads of data in Redshift. How can I make this available to end-users after performing few procs and queries? It should be available online.

  Tableau public: tableau.com. Big player but your data will be made public and not really user-friendly data model. Source: over 2 years ago

• What tips do you have on evaluating various BI tools for business needs? What are the essential criteria's you would include when evaluating different tools? The goal is to have an unbiased, objective approach.

  For example, we have a project to compare Tableau, Power BI, and InetSoft. The need for strong pagination-based email delivery eliminated Tableau. AWS's Linux instance is the targeted platform which makes Power BI less than ideal. Source: over 2 years ago

• Anyone go into Data Analytics after this program?

  I just started learning Tableau because our dept is transitioning into Tableau from Power BI. Since I already have years of experience with Power BI I just went over their tutorials from tableau.com and got onboarded pretty quick. I'm still learning it but I'm at least able to build out reports and get things done. Its not too difficult to pickup one BI tool when you have experience with another. Source: over 2 years ago

• What sites do y'all use to find Software Engineer work?

  Ya LinkedIn, referrals from friends. For startups, it's a little trickier: use a combo of topstartups.io, breakoutlist.com, curated lists. Source: over 1 year ago

• Where do you go to search for jobs?

  Niche job boards are pretty good if you're already into that niche. But the problem with most of them is that the supply is either limited by who's willing to pay, or anyone can list and it gets very noisy. For startups, prefer topstartups.io and breakoutlist.com - good mix of quality & quantity. Source: about 2 years ago

• Just found out Stackoverflow has removed their job board (stackoverflow.com/jobs). It was my go to place to search for a new job. Would love to know if anyone here can suggest alternatives other than Linkedin :)

  Yup that’s the one. If you’re looking for startups, try https://topstartups.io and https://breakoutlist.com. Source: about 2 years ago

• Job Hunting While Day-Jobbing

  Ya the researching companies thing takes so long esp. If you're going for startups. These sites saved me a lot of time: https://topstartups.io/, https://breakoutlist.com/ Also helps to take a few days off here and there to get it all done, even if you're working remote. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

• Best path to (tech) entrepreneurship? (MBB consulting vs big tech SWE vs startup SWE)

  Some sites to get you started: topstartups.io (good curated list); angel.co (more startups but generally lower quality because anyone can post); breakoutlist.com (good curated list but doesn't update often and focuses on later-stage). Source: over 2 years ago
