Looking to move into an analytics role within a consumer retail company, does this hinder growth?

The position or the industry? The way I see it, moving into anything can always be painted as a good experience. If it is moving farther out from what you want, then I could see it hindering, but then again if it’s the only option for something else, may be worth the time still.

It really depends on where you're trying to go and how long you have been doing what you are now. Try listing out what you feel your growth areas in current trajectory are now, and what's missing - then map that to what your target is. hopefully that helps you see opportunity areas to prioritize and where to get those
