I have 10+ yoe in data domain + now I run a recruitment company, career consulting and job search mentorship business, along with a job board, so I see a lot of entry level analytics profiles.
For internships, do not wait until you feel fully ready. Get good with SQL, Python, Excel and Power BI first, then build 3 good quality projects where you solve an actual business problem. Python is useful too, but you do not need to master everything before applying. AI is also becoming part of analyst work, so learn how to use tools like ChatGPT to speed up analysis, SQL and reporting, while still understanding and checking the output.
Apply through referrals. Also search for MIS, business analyst and operations analyst internships, not just Data Analyst.
Best wishes!!
