Learn Excel at an elite level or become super proficient at Tableau.
fricking this. Learn excel. Then learn it again. Then master it.
I started my first "big boy job" after graduation in may. My first month here I've created about 5 excel files that basically track everything I do on a job site. All I have to do is enter the required info.
I'm talking color codes, auto date updates and inputs. Just basic common sense stuff that could be learned on YouTube in an hour. Also, perfected the basic functions of navisworks for our BIM modeling.
My boss acts like I invented excel functions now. He's been with the company for 8 years and still can't "walk" through a BIM model or add comments to screen snips. It's really pretty sad.

Excel skills can make some people in an organization think you have magical powers. I am blown away that even basic modeling functionality is seen as advanced with most people.
At this point, I can do anything I ever need in Excel and it took about 7 years of practice to get there. I have watched hundreds of hours of YouTube videos on new formulas and how those formulas can work with other formulas. Learning those skills when I was 23 has honestly changed my career trajectory as silly as it sounds.
