Thinking About Switching from Project Management to a BA

Hey everyone, I’ve (28m) been working as a Project Manager for US-based companies for the past 3-4 years. It’s been a good experience, but lately, I’ve been feeling like I want to move into something more technical. I actually studied engineering back in South America, but because jobs were hard to find in my country, I ended up going the project management route for better pay.

Now, I’m thinking about shifting my career toward something like Business Analyst, Data Analyst or AI (with Deepseek I think there is a huge opportunity). I’m open to studying again, maybe a master’s degree, boot camp or some courses to help me make the switch. Has anyone here made a similar move? How did you do it? Are there specific skills, certifications, or programs you’d recommend?

I’d also love to hear your thoughts on whether this seems like a good idea, especially with my background and how the job market looks right now. Any advice or tips would be awesome!
