What kind of role should I look for if my only skills are SQL, Tableau (no certification) and have worked in cross industry as data analyst and product management analyst? 2 years of experience in consulting but I’m intermediate in everything :(

Sorry! I didn’t mean to humble brag. I’m beginner and touching intermediate in everything and was lucky enough to get projects and learn on the job.

Dress up your resume and apply for product management. A lot of FAANG DS titles are also only BI roles which you’re probably qualified for

For these pseudo-DS roles the only technical is usually SQL. Google for example had me do a small SQL case and then a theoretical anagrams (language agnostic). You either know sql or you dont.

“Consultant” role

Depends on what you want to do! You could switch to a full time PM role, be a business analyst or a data analyst

Also- don’t apply until your resume is in tip top shape & you can speak to why you’re a great fit for the role. It seems like you’re still figuring out what you want next, so I’d spend weeks/months working on that before starting to apply to anything
