Before you decide

Demand is only one input

Time to get job-ready

Months

Typically months of targeted preparation on top of a related degree.

Transferability

Moderate

Carries over to several related roles.

Rising ads don’t mean you should learn this.

Your interests, the time you have and what people in the work tell you matter more. Effort and transferability are editorial estimates, not measurements.
