So, I am studying towards becoming a Data analyst.

My background is a bachelor in mechanical engineering. I have worked in corporate in FP&A, Demand Planning, Marketing(category/trade) and commercial planning. Always did lots of analysis and dashboards but all in excel.

Now I’m studying SQL and power BI on datacamp. Planning to go Python (pandas and Numpy) next.

Is this the way to go? Should I also learn another language/skill?

Is this a good background to the area or is it too competitive nowadays? Would the market view favourably this transitio?
