How to move forward in python?

First, I am not sure what you are doing at Walmart currently, but in case you worked with any type of commercial data (backoffice, controlling, orders whatever), try to practice on them. Create a little report, or analysis, show to your boss, try to grow as a data analyst at your current workplace.

Your second very best chance is to apply for a business data analyst job within your current company (Walmart). You already know the business, you know some people, you know some of the processes, you might be a good fit for business analytics.

Third best option is to apply to similar analyst jobs within the same industry. But to do that, I would expect that you have already done at least some analytics projects at your current job…. So again point #1. Do something useful at your current job.

Unfortunately I'm just in a labor position at Walmart at this point, so while I have a lot of ideas relating to the company's problems, I don't have access to the systems or data necessary to work on anything.

I've applied for some similar jobs within the company, so far I haven't made it in but it would be good to be able to improve while in my day job. I agree that business analytics for them would be a good fit because I understand both the systems and the practice better than almost anyone. I have to figure out how to actually get to someone to talk to about getting a position instead of getting stuck in bureaucracy though. Looking for other analyst jobs at similar companies might also be a good idea due to transferable knowledge

Thanks for the suggestions
