How should I change my technology from Java to Data Science

I am currently working in Accenture as a backend developer. Do you think its wise to change the technology at this moment. I have around 3 years of experience. And i am not getting any learning opportunities in my current company.

Also what is the roadmap to learning Data Science?

Depends on what you want to do in your career. Java & backend has more opportunities in my opinion than Data Science. Especially with something like Data Science, people usually look for someone with a Masters.

P.S just in case you didn’t think about it, Data Engg and Data Science are two different things.

@TechGuy69 Thank you for your insight. I am planning to pursue a masters degree in Data science next year, i just want to gain some experience in this field. So if i learn few skills/tools like Python/SQL/Tabluea/Power BI will i be able to land a job based on these skills?

Or i have to do some certifications or other cources for that.
