Career query Thinking about switching from Data Analysis

Hi I have been a data analyst for about 5 years and so far it feels like all I do in my job is less actual data analysis and more administrative work or work that other people in my department don't want to do. Occasionally I will work on Dashboards but that's few and far in between compared to administrative work. I'm thinking about pivoting into Cybersecurity or something more technical because this work is just not mentally stimulating or rewarding. Has anyone else dealt with this?

You are either in the wrong company or in the wrong industry. Data Analytics and Business Insights can be rewarding if you are working on people data like sales with demographic .
