I am confused can anyone help! Maybe I am bit too dense :-)

I am an electrical engineering graduate with 3 years and 9 months of experience, including 2 years and 9 months as a functional business analyst in the tech industry. While I lack technical expertise in data analysis and machine learning, I’ve gained surface-level knowledge and recently started learning Python, SQL, and other skills to transition into data, ML, or AI-related roles. With AI advancing, I’m worried about sustaining my non-tech role. Currently earning 7 LPA working in lower mid level product company, I’ll soon be the sole earner in my household. What salary can I aim for with a shift to the data domain, and what key topics or skills (e.g., Python, SQL, Power BI, ML fundamentals) will help me secure a stable, higher-paying role in this field? Everything is tier 3! from city to college so please share your thoughts accordingly🙂

Bro, Your business analysis background helps. Aim for 7-10 LPA after upskilling in Python, SQL, and Power BI. Start with Data Analyst and move to ML later.

You’re in a good position. Aim for 8-12 LPA in a data role with your experience. Focus on Python, SQL, and Power BI for now, and learn ML basics for growth.

Hey, don’t stress too much! You’re already taking steps like learning Python and SQL, which are solid foundations. Have you considered focusing on roles like Data Analyst initially and building up from there?

How will you balance learning new skills with the pressure of being the sole earner in your household?
