Hello !! I recently completed my undergrad in Economics and trying to enter the Data Analytics space. I am in a research analyst role, and have experience with R and Sql in that role.
How can I leverage my current experience and education to be able to enter this space effectively ? Any help in terms of networking techniques or roles to look out for would be great. Thank you !!

Big4, they all have an FDD analytics group now, I think mine is the most broad ie we’ve done CDDs and value creation work too. I think we’re the biggest big4 team at this moment. You likely have a team for this is your group does FDD

prob better to learn python and associated libraries

Yes learn Python. I was in a similar position, learned R and SQL, but R seemed pretty useless when looking for a job. Python and SQL are what you want to have on your resume.
