Big 4 to F500 after one year of experience?

Recently made one year with the firm and got my CPA exams out of the way/waiting on my license. I'm not sure if I should be transitioning to a staff accountant role since I don't want to get stuck in tax. I appreciate any insights.

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
