Is Google BI worth it? The Crydd Verdict
CS 79Choose it if
You are an analyst who wants to build the pipelines and dashboards a business runs on.
Consider alternatives if
Your organisation runs Power BI: PL-300 is the exam-based credential for it.
Why we say so
BI developer roles pay more than entry-level analyst ones, and this covers the data engineering basics they need.
Market demand
BI analyst and developer roles are common across industries; employers usually test tool skills directly, so a portfolio matters.
