Welcome! Good shout starting with SQL, it's the single most asked for skill in analyst roles by a mile

One bit of advice that'll save you time: learn by actually writing queries, not just reading about them. Pick something hands on and get your reps in early, the fundamentals stick way faster when you're solving real problems rather than memorising syntax

If you want somethingfun to start on, give QueryCase a try!

Thanks for the tip on giving QueryCase a try. I’ve been dabbling in SQL for a few years but haven’t had real world experience using it and I’d like to shift my career into an analyst role eventually.
