FAQ
List whichever you've actually built dashboards in. If you've done both, list both: "Tableau, Power BI." Tableau is dominant in non-tech enterprise; Power BI is dominant in Microsoft shops.
Helpful for entry-level. A Tableau Public profile with 3–5 published dashboards is a credible signal. Senior analysts skip it and lean on company impact numbers.
