Senior data analyst/engineer here.
These mostly seem like great recommendations. However, I would say data viz tools like PowerBI and Tableau are very dated and clunky. Unless you’re applying to work at a bank, or some other company that’s been using the same technology for 15+ years, you’re much better off learning a modern modern lightweight alternative, e.g. Metabase.
Also, dbt. If you’re trying to get hired as a data professional, and have no dbt experience, you’re going to be at a real disadvantage. There are of course some dbt alternatives/competitors these days, but they are still pretty niche.
