I know it is too late but hoping to get help from Grapevine folks, please
Apologies for this long post, but I am mostly relying on Grapevine community to help me at this career crossroad.
I spent almost 10+ years in operations after joining TCS but realised that i was just climbing corporate ladder without developing any real skill. I asked my BRM to involve me in something and i was given chance to work on RFP for which i managed entire flow from data collection to analysis to presentation. To my surprise, my work was appreciated and started getting more such work and i liked it doing even though i knew i am not going to get much credit for it. Then i decided to move out of ops and joined other project as strategy & insight- analyst and i did well there receiving accolades from client. Project got closed but i realised that I am good with complex data analysis and presentation of the same. I learned power bi and Microstrategy as well. But post that, i never got any suitable project and senior suggested me to learn developer/architecture of any BI tool because as per them that is what required apart from preparing dashboard. I am learning Microstrategy developer now but I have accepted L2 support role as I am not getting any suitable role. My question is ..after all this - What should i do now? What should i learn now to enter into my interest area ?
PS: I am from non-technical background and i have started learning SQL.

Consider learning stuff like Power BI, MicroStrategy, SQL, and Tableau. These can become gateways to more analytical and data-focused roles, and can be more fulfilling
I know switching domains is difficult, but you'll get there with hard work. Gain certifications, work on small projects, and contribute to open-source projects to build your profile and this can increase your chances of landing good roles.
Look for roles like business analyst, data analyst, or product analyst

@HalfDictator out of these three BI tool, should i focus on only one as most of accounts in TCS or other organisations would be using only one of them and not all three ? OR Shoul i try to learn all three ?
