Market Insight: Data Analyst
Data analyst is often confused with data scientist, but it's a distinct and more accessible role — strong SQL, Excel and a BI tool like Power BI or Tableau get you in, without the heavy machine-learning requirement. Pay grows as you move from descriptive reporting into analysis that drives real decisions, and analysts who add Python or shift toward data engineering see the steepest rises. Banks, telcos, e-commerce and consulting are the main employers. It's one of the better entry points into the wider data field.
