I'm inclined to think that in your case I would apply for data analysis/dev jobs at non-software/tech companies while also applying for SWE jobs at software/tech companies.

My expectation is that the software/tech companies that are also hiring for data analysis positions will have very specific requirements making it impossible for 98% of applicants to fit the position.

Thank you. So you think I should focus my learning activities on refreshing ML/stats knowledge? Also, I would have thought that the SWE jobs at tech companies are the positions with very specific requirements (experience with certain tools etc) whereas their data positions might be more general?
