IB --> Data Analytics/Data Science?

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, whether in finance (HF) or tech? Or do these jobs typically go to Masters/phD students?
