Need fellow consultant thoughts: I’m currently in a pretty tech focused data analytics role (B4) and have an opportunity to move to industry in a technology strategy role. Worth moving on from the data analytics skillset?

Yeah it is. Like you I was deep into data analytics but it helps to gain expertise in say aspects of cloud computing and broaden your understanding of IT architecture

The part of data analytics that’s growing does require a breadth of technical skills that goes beyond the academic background that most people in data analytics have. Mostly I have seen non-CS experts trying to become data analytics experts. There is a point where that becomes a problem. I don’t think tech strategy means much - I was referring to more cloud architecture. I personally believe that data analytics is better positioned with a solid understanding of the hands on aspects of cloud computing. One of my MDs used to say that a data analytics expert who doesn’t know how to set up a VM or deploy a server less component with necessary security is not really a expert :)
