Accelerate Career Path to Data Scientist from Data Analyst

The user has 9 months of Data Analyst experience (Power BI, Excel), enjoys data, and is interested in data science long-term, but is concerned about 'unclear career progression.' This is an excellent opportunity to focus and accelerate the transition into a Data Scientist role. Given the stated drawbacks of Supply Chain Management (low pay, administrative, rejections), dedicating efforts to deepening data analytics and moving towards data science is the more promising path. Key steps include mastering Python/R for statistical analysis and machine learning, SQL, and building a portfolio of data science projects. This path offers clear progression, higher earning potential, and aligns with the user's enjoyment of data.
