I know this post is kinda stale, but do yourself a favor and pick up the Kimball Group Reader book. Fantastic for understanding the concepts behind designing and building dimensions, facts, and how they represent various business processes.

From what you say, you sound like a "senior" data analyst: you write queries that give correct results in a performant manner. You could probably look for a "junior" DWH engineer role which should pay about the same or maybe 10% less per year. However, as you grow in experience, the top end for relational DWH engineers is around US$110,000 per year while I would expect a data analyst to top out around US$70,000 per year.

Aside from learning DWH concepts, I'd say learn Tableau or Power BI as a data analyst should know not just how to get to the data, but how to present it in a meaningful manner. Learn about the "concepts" of ETL and the patterns they implement. Again, the book I referenced above will give some good examples of what should be done within each letter of E-T-L. These are the most logical and attainable next steps in your career. From there, once you understand more about ETL, the next logical step is to start thinking about how all the various systems integrate with one-another.
