Leaving PwC to enter a firm’s data integration and migration practice as a supervisor. I have been bored of audit and wanted something new. My mentor at the firm will be training, but 2 questions.

1. How hard is it to start at fresh in the data field when you have no experience.

2. How is the field looking like in the future?

1. Without IT background expect to get into data linage/management/mapping/etc topics, which require some learning but are straightforward. Thus not hard. Depending on setup you might need to learn sql or whatever the query language the data backend will use.
2. It's a cash cow that's not going away ever with a huge shift towards cloud data management.
3. Bonus info: it is boring as fk. If you truly enjoy it, your superiors will love you and you will get easy staffing anywhere.
