Career pivot from 3 YoE in Operations to Data Analytics?

Career query

Hey all!

I've worked in event operations and I'm currently in distribution operations. After 3 years, I'm simply bored and struggle to find job satisfaction on a day-to-day basis.

I'm living in the UK. I've been working in Operations for 3 years.

Please advise if the following is irrelavent, I'm largely interested in maths/logic, have a good eye for detail, I find an immense amount of job satisfaction in solving problems, so much so I get bored when things are moving smoothly. I've been working with Google Sheets/Excel for 7+ years, and have been using computers my whole life - I feel very proficient with computers and it's tools.

  • Do any of you who work in DA find everyday job satisfaction?
  • Would a career pivot be something that's possible (for someone like me)?
  • Do people without any DA experience, however with other experience (in my case, Ops) have a chance in securing a job in this field?
  • I get ads for these 6 month career accelorator courses in Data Analytics, are they worth it? (Some can be pretty pricey...)

Any help/guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks all
