Am I Drifting Away From Data Science, Or Building Useful Foundations? (2 Yoe Working In A Startup, No Coding)

I’m looking for some career perspective and would really appreciate advice from people working in or around data science.

I’m currently not sure where exactly is my career heading and want to start a business eventually in which I can use my data science skills as a tool, not forcefully but purposefully.

Also my current job is giving me good experience of being in a startup environment where I’m able to learning to set up a manufacturing facility from scratch and able to first hand see business decisions and strategies. I also have some freedom to implement some of my ideas to improve or set new systems in the company and see it work eg. using m365 tools like sharepoint power automate power apps etc to create portals, apps and automation flows which collect data and I present that in meetings. But this involves no coding at all and very little implementation of what I learnt in school.

Right now I’m struggling with a few questions:

1)Am I moving away from a real data science career, or building underrated foundations?

2)What does an actual data science role look like day-to-day in practice?

3)Is this kind of startup + tooling experience valuable, or will it hurt me later?

4)If my end goal is entrepreneurship + data, what skills should I be prioritizing now?

5)At what point should I consider switching roles or companies?

This is my first job and I’ve been here for 2 years. I’m not sure what exactly to expect from an actual DS role and currently I’m not sure if Im going in the right direction to achieve my end goal of starting a company of my own before 30s.
