I think you are on a great path to DS, you are already positioned for that to be your next role, after you move up to be a little bit more senior as an Analyst. I would say work hard, get some promotions, or at least one and prepare for any additional skills required at your company for that role. Also speak to other DS at your company to see what they do day to day and how they got their job and see if you can network to be able to switch within your company.

Experience at BIG4 will go a long way!

I have been having a few emails exchanges with a recruiter and he said that based on my experience, I could start as a Level 6. What is this? Is this truly a SM role? Is this a consulting role?

So, a recruiter gave me feedback that my lack SPHR or SHRM-SCP is causing my resume to be knock out by AI and human recruiters despite my position and work history in Multinationals and being in Technology. They suggested that we put SPHR ( Lapsed). I let it lapse in 2017. What is your opinion? Plus if I were to take another certification - should I take SPHR or SHRM-SCP?
