A picture is worth a thousand words, and data visualizations are increasingly expected as a way to convey information in a wide variety of jobs. Strong Tableau skills can help your work stand out whether you’re a business analyst, a government public relations specialist, a data journalist, or an academic researcher.
Management analysts and consultants also depend on compelling visualizations in presentations and reports to convince executives to make changes to improve their operations. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, management analysts earned a median annual salary of $85,260 in 2019, and these roles are expected to grow much faster than average due to growing demand for data-driven organizational insights. These consultants typically have at least a bachelor’s degree, but jobs at top consulting firms may require a master’s in business administration (MBA).
