Hi folks,
My exp is around 9 years and working in the telecomm domain for the entire time.
I want to switch to data science or data analyst domain now.
Is it possible?

If possible then what certification would help me?

Certification will not help you much. Knowledge is the key. After gaining the knowledge in data science or data analyst u can go for azure/gcp/AWS certification for data science or tableau/power bi for data analyst
