IB Analyst --> Data Analyst/Data Scientist at a HF

Have some experience in stats/econometrics and Python/SQL from college. Could an IB analyst in a modeling-heavy group and with these skills transfer to a Data Analyst/Data Science role? Or do these jobs typically go to Masters/phD students? What does WLB/career advancement look like in these roles?
