I am Sr. business analyst. I have a total of 11 years of experience, but BA from last 1 year. Now I feel that freshers are working as BA and people with 4-5 exp are working as Senior BA. Now considering my total exp I have two ways forward. 1. Product manager 2. Data scientist.
I want you guys to guide me which path I should go and make my niche considering that profile should give me a good package and work life balance as well.

My suggestion is to understand product management.. an easy way to do it from YouTube.. there are some good YouTube channels that you can watch to understand what a pm does..
Additionally you can also do some short term courses on LinkedIn learning or Coursera or udemy on PM. Some of them are pretty detailed.

Lastly, see if you can do some hands-on training on product activities... Could be solving case studies...etc...

I don't even let my manager decide my career path for me, and here you are asking strangers to define career path for you!
Take charge, understand what you want, and see what's available to identify the right fit!
All the best

Actually I am new to IT.. so I just thought of having an opinion. Both streams are new to me so I just wanted to put all my energy in something which can provide me with a good salary and wlb in future.

Hi,

I assume that the data analyst role option for you is because you are working as Sr. ba in a data related project.. if that is not the case, then you will move from one pond to another.

As someone who has moved from ba to a product role, my advice is to spend a few years in the BA role to get a good understanding of how to perform it and in parallel build competence in product management so that it's easy for the transition.

Hope that helps..

Yes that's really helpful... Can you suggest to me what I should start with if I want to move into product management direction... I want to target product based tech companies... Do I need to join any course or cohort... Please suggest.
