1. 🚩 Dashboards aren’t supposed to look like Christmas trees 🎄 Have you ever open a dashboard and just sit there like, “Wait… what am I even looking at?” Charts everywhere. Colors shouting at you. 3 minutes in, and still no clue what’s important.

🚩 Yesterday reminded me why I enjoy being in the tech space. 📍 I attended the Amazon Web Services (AWS) London Summit and it was a great one. Met teams from Postman, GitLab, Datadog, Databricks and a few others.

Biggest interview red flag → faking knowledge. Wrong answers kill credibility. Better: → “I’m not sure, but here’s how I’d approach it.” → “I haven’t used X, but I’ve worked with Y (similar tool).” Honesty + problem-solving > pretending.

🚩 Your CV won’t land you the DATA job unless you do this. 1. Job description: → Circle the tools, skills, keywords. → If they want Python, SQL, dashboards, don’t hide it on page 2. 🧵Thread

4. Show results, not responsibilities: → Wrong: “Responsible for analyzing data.” → Right: “Built SQL queries that uncovered churn patterns → 15% retention boost.”

📍 Recruiters don’t care that you used SQL. They care what happened when you used it. 📍 One CV can scream “generic.” Another can say “I’m the one.”

2. 📍 Dashboards aren’t built to impress. They’re built to guide decisions. → More visuals ≠ more value → One clear story > ten half-stories → If people feel lost, the dashboard failed

3. 📍 Your dashboard isn’t for you. It’s for the person who needs to act on it. → If it looks like a Christmas tree, you built it for yourself. →If it looks like a compass, you built it for the business. 📌Drop one dashboard tip or advice so others can learn #favouribude
