How useful would it to know SQL and Tableau for CRE?
I'm currently a data analyst for a CRE company and looking to 'upskill' myself by doing General Assembly's Data Analyst course which includes Excel, SQL &amp; Tableau (not so bothered about Excel but my skills could do with a bit of a brush up). Wondered what kind of opportunities would be available to me if I was equipped with SQL and Tableau?

Most of us use a CRM, such as ACT, that comes with a nice GUI and does all of the database work for us.

If you are looking to enter the research side of the business, or the corporate transaction management side that a lot of the larger firms invest in, it might be worth it.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
