Digital Marketing specialist looking for a roadmap to levelup

Hi , I have been a digital marketing automation specialist for 7 years ( eloqua , Sfmc )- knowing the core concepts of marketing cloud, and have good technical knowledge on HTML/css / Js and average knowledge on SQL. I am planning to level up my career as a Data Analyst (or) to a kind of technical consultant level ... I see many posts regarding - people doing MBA's and few on certification paths... I feel so confused on how to level up to the next level

Any suggestions?
