I think it's the best entrance to data analytics. It requires just enough technical skills that I will be able to perform well, as well as push myself to learn more. It also requires soft skills, especially ones that I was developing during my bachelor program. For a while, I wanted to get into more complex data visualization and I've been learning Tableau, so I think I could do that in this position.
