It will complement a lot if u learn Data Analytics using SQL and Data visualisation using power bi or tableau. May also learn advance excel too.

Don't dwell more into data science or machine learning coz it requires deep understanding of stats and prob , also requires a good hold on python or R.

Complement with what exactly? Sorry getting bit confused

It's always good to learn analytics if not core AIML.

Learn PowerBi/ Tableau + SQL to begin with. You can get into Data Analyst/ Biz Analyst roles.

Thanks guys for your responses. Shall i assume that I should learn powerbi/tableau to upskill and not go deep into AIML?
