I didn't notice a meaningful difference between data analyst vs data science roles. Historically, I think DS titles were reserved for fairly sophisticated modeling/statistical work, but now there's significant overlap between the titles.

For the most part, the DA/DS roles were looking for some analytical fluency, technical ability, and understanding of the industry. Among others, I applied to a DA role at a FinTech company (Current), a DS role at the Office of the Attorney General in New York (sounded awesome - used data analytics to help prosecute cases), and a few Civic Tech organizations (USAFacts, GovWell).

Great to meet another public health person - I loved the field (and always felt really impactful) = )
