Is Financial Analyst / FP&A Feasible?

I’m currently (29) with a bachelor in BA graduated in 2019 and still trying to figure out what path I should take. I don't really have a passion, I don't mind working with numbers. First, here is my career experience: Sales (2.5 years), product management (1 year), Advisor service (financial services) (2.5 years) This was like a CS role working with Financial Advisor instead of actual customers. Current role Customer service OPs Analyst (1 years). Extract data from Power Bi, Analyze the data, create dashboards for the team. I'm currently practicing SQL after work and once I understand SQL, then practice Python. I plan on incorporating financial understanding to my studies to move into corporate finance. I'm trying to look for more of a stable job and climb up the ladder. I feel like Data analytic is very saturated and very difficult to find a job. But is this doable even if I don't have Financial experience? I plan on getting my masters but with a company that'll pay for it.

I look forward to reading any suggestions or from anyone who had similar experiences.
