Integrating Python and Tableau into IB analyst work?

Graduating senior, about to join a BB as an IB analyst. However, I'm not sure how long I want to stay in finance and have thought about transitioning to Data Analytics/Data Science for better WLB, after giving IB a shot.

I know that the job revolves around excel and powerpont, but Is there any way to practice/develop Python and Tableau/Looker skills as an IB analyst? Or similar skills that could translate well into a data analytics/data science role? I was exposed to both during college but want to keep practing. Thanks
