    I have two masters in pure mathematics and I am thinking to go for data analyst job. I have background in mathematics and statistics but I don't know any programming language (thought I deal with Mathematica, Matlab etc). Is it possible for me to go for data analysis. What I need to learn?

    It is useful to learn a scripting language that it is common for data science tasks like Pytoh or R. Moreover, it could be useful to learn Excel and SQL. From the Mathematical background all you need is Statistics, Theory of Probabilities and a basic knowledge of Algorithms (e.g. Optimization).
