I am working as a Python developer and I work with django. I also do some web scraping and building spiders and bots.

Now from there I want to make my move to Business Intelligence. I just want to know how I can move into that field.

Because as companies are not going to hire me in that field directly, I just want to know how can I make the transistion.

I was thinking of first working as Database developer in SQL and then I can see further.

But I want advice from you guys so that I can start learning that stuff so that I can change jobs keeping that in mind. Here in my area there are plenty of jobs in all areas but I need to know how to transition and what things I should learn before making that transition.

Here jobs are plenty so if I know my stuff, getting a job is a piece of cake because they don't have any people. Same jobs keep getting advertised for months and months.
