Business analyst is more prestigious, so don’t pivot that way. You can do plenty of data analysis and higher level analysis, so perhaps discuss with your boss

Eh, depends on role within firm and what youd like to do long term. For example, if in a year you’d like to operate as a data scientist or data engineer, you should pivot towards data analyst as its a closer mapping to most data scientist (analytics) roles than a BA might be. Not sure focusing on prestige is the right call, given this is the only info OP has provided. You are right though, you dont need to fully pivot to put your technical skills to work. Let your team, counselors, everyone know what your skill set is and leverage that try to get the sorts of work youd like

Those who have made the same switch - is the grass really greener? I have zero interest in Plaintiff's work and I've always avoided it but the money and the career advancement is being pushed on me

Working remotely the last three years has become a way of my life and supports our current situation well, therefore I am seeking a similar role but will consider other opportunities.

I spent a year in tax investigations where I believe I was thriving ( I was going to be an assistant manager in July 2023), I had a lot of assistant manager jobs, I even drafted a Code 9 report to HMRC which my manager said was 80% of an actual report, he then added the 20% and submitted it.
After I realised I couldn't maintain all the unpaid overtime I was working I decided to take a turn and go to compliance, so now I work in CT compliance. I feel very surpressed.
