My Experience as a Product Data Analyst

Unlike universal marketing concepts such as SEO and SEM, each product is different and has a learning curve for you to understand what the product is for and how users interact with it. Allocate extra time you'll need for onboarding to learn user flows and the systems used for event tracking. When I started as a product analyst, it took weeks to learn how to effectively use the product analytics software and figure out the event names that mapped to each screen in the user flows. Supporting product gives you an opportunity to try it before applying for the position. Having an interest in the product or industry will help you be a more effective analyst because you can relate to the user experience and account for that in your analysis.
