 Let's take a look at the career path of a data analyst, starting with an entry-level data analyst. You just landed your first job, what are the next steps or the career advancements that you could have? Well, one of the easiest ones is just to continue as a data analyst. You get an entry-level job, you become a mid-level analyst, a senior-level analyst, sometimes even a lead analyst. Now if you want to, you can also go into management from there, so you can become an analytics manager, a director of analytics, a CTO, all the way up to the very top. Now that's if you want to stay in analytics the entire time, but you don't have to, you can also branch out into other careers as well, like a data scientist or a data engineer. With both those jobs, you are going to have to acquire some new skills, but you have some of the foundational knowledge that you're going to need in order to transition into those jobs, and your experience is going to be helpful. Besides those, you can also do freelancing or consulting, so you have a lot of options in terms of what you can do with your career as a data analyst.
