It’s possible to exit at senior analyst. Though you generally need to stick it out at least a year for that to happen

What exactly did you have in mind? What do you aspire to? Just curious, cause with less than 2 years of experience, you’re not really an expert in anything...

Depends on your actual skills and degree still. Your work experience needs to be really special to do it

MIS major from non-target school. Almost 2 YoE of mostly functional testing and system design. Would like to make the switch to a business strategy /business development role. I know it will be a challenge to make this switch with my current experience but I'm determined.

Determination is important, but you probably need a timeline to lay out how you’ll be orchestrating that move. The plan should include learning the skill-set necessary for that jump. Right now your skill set is polar opposite of your desired role...

Is there any self learning I can do to become more marketable the strategy area? I'm currently reading through "case in point" but it's not much use of I can't make it to interview.

I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
