currently not working
How much salary should I ask for and how to prove my skills?
I have been working for 3 years 6 months (started in 2021) as a Data Analyst/BI Analyst with my techstack being SQL, Python and PBI. I have switched 2 companies and currently at my 3rd one from the last 1.7 years being paid 14.57 LPA.
I am switching because it's become stagnant here with no room for further growth (after many talks with my team lead etc.)
I am afraid of not being able to bag DS/DA roles because every other hiring post says that they require the whole world from a DA with 3+ years of experience. Idk how to prove my abilities with limited exposure so far and therefore, how much salary also to ask and negotiate for.
Please help!

3.5 years is a great time to make a strategic switch. Focus on companies that prioritize data-driven decisions rather than just ‘checking all boxes.’

Build a portfolio of past projects, even if internal. Case studies & dashboards can go a long way in proving your capabilities!

You’re in a great spot to negotiate! Highlight your problem-solving approach and how you’ve improved processes real impact speaks louder than keywords!

Feeling overwhelmed by job descriptions is normal! Companies list ‘wishlist’ skills, but most focus on strong SQL, Python, and business impact.

Hiring posts are often unrealistic. If you have strong SQL + Python + PBI, you’re already covering core DA skills. The right company will see that!

With 3.5+ years of SQL, Python, and PBI, you should target 18-22 LPA. Do you have a portfolio or projects to showcase your skills?
