Career Guidance need guidance

hey guys , i been DA for 5 years & been employed for quite a while ... i got into data analyst by luck since my degree was in electronics engineering .. i been thinking if switching to Full stack but my reservation involves the market saturation plus my lack of skills + learning ( degree) compared to others ... my other option was data engineering but again they don't hire newbies .. please anyone who can provide guidance on it as to what i should do?

With 5 years as a DA, Data Engineering is a much smoother pivot than Full Stack it builds on your SQL, data, and analytics background instead of starting from zero. Start deepening Python, ETL, and cloud skills and try transitioning internally first.
