If you've decided to switch, then sure, you'll need to spend some time learning new things. Keep in mind that most analytics roles are a move down from most software developer jobs in terms of technical skills required, salary, prestige, job satisfaction. The last part is obviously my personal opinion - my background is in data science and early on in my career I could leaned more towards analytics or more towards software engineering and I very quickly figured out that I strongly prefer the engineering jobs (whether it's ML engineering, or even non-data science- or ML-related software development). Right now I'm data scientist in title, with an MLE job description and responsibilites, and I'd be happy to do either MLE or backend development in my next job. Analytics and data engineering are positions that I actively avoid. But again, that's just me, plenty of people like these roles.
