I’m about to be unemployed, and I’m looking to get some certificates for either Tableau or Power BI to make myself more marketable to prospective employers. I use Tableau in my current workplace and consider myself a “Beginner”. I’m not great at it, but not horrible either (I can more make things look pretty than write extensive calculated fields).

I’ve never used Power BI, but based on a bit of research, it seems like it’s more commonly used in companies that are not already focused on data analytics. I’ve watched a few videos on Power BI, but never used the app myself. It definitely looks more user-friendly than Tableau, though.

Can anyone offer any insight as to which app would be more marketable to have a certificate in when looking for entry-level jobs? Thanks you!

    Yeah, that’s kinda the same sense I was getting when I was researching it all. There’s definitely more familiarity with MS products, and I’m sure there’s a cost difference there that companies would look into as well.

    Thanks for your reply!
