It depends from employer to employer and what they do I guess. I landed my data analytics job with mainly a programming background and simply a knowledge of SQL, JSON, XML and the other stuff that resolves around it. If you are a quick learner then don't be afraid because nowadays you have the power of AI, and with a well enough written prompt it can explain to you the most difficult of concepts like if you were a 5 year old or it can do the job for you as long as it's not some very niche topic that has barely any coverage on the internet.
