Can you first switch to a Data Engineering role at your current firm? Python helps there

Network you way over to partners (or one level below) in your data & analytics practice. Setup an 15 min call. Tell them what you are doing and what you are interested in. Be interesting and engaging. Remember you are SUPER INTERESTED in the kind of work they do. Offer to help with proposals and/or firm building projects for “free” (i.e. on top of your regular job). Knock it out of the park and over deliver. Ask them if they can help you transition to their practice. This tends to work.
