Trending @Cognizant; Job switching in different domain

I’ve decided to pursue a career as a Data Analyst and while browsing online and on job portals, I see common skill requirements like SQL, Power BI, Tableau, etc. However, I would really like to hear from people who are currently working as Data Analysts about what real projects look like in the industry, what the actual day-to-day work involves, and which skills truly matter on the job. I’m also looking for advice on how to approach a career switch into this role in a practical way, as my goal is to secure a Data Analyst position by March. Any real-world insights or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
