I want to work in a data analytics role but I'm worried that if I switch to another firm they'll just staff me on more IA projects, my background. Should I switch to industry first to get skilled?

One does not go into industry to get skilled. You learn way more at a firm. Just apply to a specific data analytics role at a big firm. Big firms will more likely staff within the same area.

Coming up on 1 year at the firm

I did the same thing at KPMG and have now transferred permanently to D&A, though supporting audit. I went for a secondment then transitioned it to be full time - see if there are any internal secondment opps! Also, for some internal departments previous knowledge such as coding isn't usually a requirement as they'll train you on the job/send you on the relevant courses. However when applying externally these are usually required if not highly sought after. Not a roadblock as you can easily learn, but something to consider. Best of luck! If you have an analytical mindset it's great. I genuinely love every aspect of my job, and I still only work on audits (albeit in a different manner). Remote working whenever we want helps too!

So I say this with complete humility and an understanding that this is a fortunate-ish situation to be in. I’m in a position where I am tied to nothing, I have no children, spouse, or house. My job, which I’ve loved until some recent significant leadership changes, is sucking the life out of me and I think it may be time for a change. Because I am able to “pick up and go” I’m open to opportunities and locations. I’ve never worked with a recruiter but was hoping I could get some recommendations!

So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android).

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.
