Maybe it's good to also notice that the author is mentioning "data" but talking specifically about doing PowerBI dashboards, reports, etc. Which means that they are working with "data" in its least objective and more bullshit-prone use case (I'm a visualization researcher and I can tell you, it is 99% bullshit). One could possibly cut the fat and turn into machine learning, but that'll also require a lot of extra training and a thick skin to survive in what's probably the most competitive IT market right now.
