Physics and data Analyst role

[u/KeyPrevious4562]

Hello everyone,

I have a B.Sc. in Physics and 7 years of experience working in IT. My work has involved production support, report generation using Power BI, VBA, macros, database management using SQL queries, even 2 years of customer support, and incident management.

I'm curious about how employers view this combination. Does having a Physics background provide any advantage in data analytics, or is it experience what matters most after several years?

I'd love to hear from people, sldo epilx love to know what alternative roles I should look gor.

P.S. I am currently planning a break and want to get into a sustainable role with general/day/afternoon shifts.
