We talked about how to break down technical topics to non-technical stakeholders, best advice learned from our worst presentation experiences, how to make effective presentations, and more!

Thanks for the shout out, Olga! This article is so helpful!
A few years ago, I published Ditch Tableau For God’s Sake. It’s 2021 (https://lnkd.in/gNBR-He). Since then, I have received many questions about Tableau alternatives - if Tableau is so bad, then what BI tool is a good alternative? Yesterday, I shared an overview of popular BI platforms, including their pros and cons. My main objective is to showcase objectively and impartially what analytics offer today from the perspective of an analyst responsible for developing, maintaining, and distributing data insights. If your team is looking for a better dashboarding tool, I hope this publication will be helpful. If not, join me in contemplating what the best analytics tool should be 🚀 📈 https://lnkd.in/dgpk6xA3 Read about Domo, Sisense, Tableau, Looker, Power BI, Sigma Computing, Rill Data, Metabase, Superset, and Omni are broken down by features we love and things that don't work.

Mengying Li is a seasoned data professional and involved member of Data Angels. Make sure to check out her course!
🔀 Throughout my career, I've encountered several crossroads. I've navigated from a stable role at a major tech company, felt the uncertainty of stagnation, and grappled with the decision to transition from a managerial role to an IC role at a startup, and then back to the manager track again. These experiences, while challenging, have been invaluable in shaping my career path. 🤔 However, I often found myself wishing for a roadmap or mentor who could help me avoid common pitfalls and guide me towards making informed career decisions. This is why I'm excited to share the insights I've gained on my journey, the valuable skills I've acquired, and the distinct differences I've experienced in the interview processes across various work environments. My hope is that by sharing my experiences, I can help others navigate their own career paths with greater confidence and direction. 🚀 It's with great excitement that I am launching my new Data Science Careers course (https://lnkd.in/g9XFU-5g) at Maven. This course, a distillation of my experiences in the data science field, is a comprehensive guide for senior professionals navigating the ever-changing landscape of data science careers. Whether you're contemplating a switch to a different company, aspiring to advance within your current organization, or even considering a career pivot outside of data science, this course is for you. 💜 If you know someone who might find this course beneficial, please share this post with them. I'm looking forward to engaging in more career-focused discussions with you in the class!
