What is the market like for entry level data scientists/ data analyst. I have a graduate certificate in data science and have spent the last 27 years as a mainframe dev so I have great SQL skills.

Any python or R experience? Even the entry level DS roles nowadays typically require more than SQL. If you're looking to move up, you might want to take a lead DA role or DE role and then work towards the DS title
