I’d say - you’re not proficient until you’ve used them in the workplace. Lots of junior data scientist roles at places (leverage indeed) across all industries.
Most data scientist roles in tech where the job description says analytics won't be ML focused. Explicitly look for ML. There are also "advanced analytics" and consulting, but they don't come with reliable infrastructure you can take advantage of.
You can also improv data science in misc Analyst title jobs as a fallback, but I wouldn't recommend that path. Lower earning potential, no mentorship, etc. But if you really play your cards right and know to actively pitch, it can be a career catapult.
