Has anyone exited into DA (data analyst) roles? Any thoughts on how the career track would compare to BizOps or StratOps roles (WLB, TC over time, etc)?

Left my role doing transaction advisory at a Big 4 into a data analytics consultant role at a smaller consulting firm recently. I found that was an easier transition out of management consulting than jumping into a DA role at an industry/tech firm. Still doing highly technical work at this role even though I’m still in “consulting” (and enjoying it here so much more too), and then I’ll use the skills gained here to transition into tech later.

Im in a data analyst role in the advertising tech industry. It’s a very good wlb but I’m pivoting to consulting, funnily. Following for opinions

Data analyst like in data science, or just basic excel? If data science work - and you like it, don’t get into consulting, go to companies focused on data related products (on the product side). At least, my two cents there.
