How can I shift from sales/marketing to technical? I am BE(Mech) & MBA(Mrktng&Systems) having 7+ years exp in sales and marketing in heavy engineering sector based at Kolkata. I want to change to something technical like analytics/data science/big data/SAP etc. I am ready to relocate to other cities. Would my past experience be an add-on? What other options do I have?

Use SWOT technique in identifying strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats in any thing, even while changing career opportunity. Next- do a psychometric analysis before taking the leap. That will include your Taste, Habits, Interest, Passion, Technical Ability, Responsibility, Risk Taking Ability, Fear Factor. Now Career wise - Data Analysis as we all see is & has tremendous scope of growth, provided you learn to research the market, do the analysis bit by bit, master the skill & keep yourself updating.
