I want to begin my career in Business Analysis. I will be graduating from a Global Business Management course soon. I need some recommendations of what skills to build on and which certifications to do in the next 6 months to stand out when I apply for my first job.

Hi all, I’m looking to learn about how one can transition from PwC AC to PwC India.
I joined PwC AC Bangalore as a fresher and have been working here for 13 months.
I was randomly assigned to SAP, but I’ve realised I really want to move away from this and move towards what I originally planned on pursuing i.e. data analysis, I was already well versed in ML and DL with python.
If anyone has made a similar transition, it would be great if you could help me understand how do I go about this.
