Wrap axios in sync function

Question

I have a very basic query in js with axios

axios.get("...my_url...")

This query is wrapped in a sync function such that :

myFunc: function()
   {
   axios.get("...my_url...")
      .then((response) => this.GLOBAL_MUTABLE_DATA = response.data)
      .catch((error) => console.log(error))
      .finally()
   }

Now i have a code snippet where i must make sure that myFunc has finished its 'execution' before going to next instruction :

anotherFunc: function(){
   myFunc() // will modify the global mutable data 
   postProcessData() // will post process this.GLOBAL_MUTABLE_DATA.
}

From the code above i need myFunc to have finished before being able to run postProcessData and effectively post process the object this.GLOBAL_MUTABLE_DATA.

Now my question is : Is it possible to do so ?

For instance do you think the following would be appropriate ?

anotherFuncAsyncVersion : async function(){
   await myFunc() // will modify the global mutable data 
   postProcessData() // will post process this.GLOBAL_MUTABLE_DATA.
}

Where the difference with anotherFunc is that i've added the async keyword and await before the execution of myFunc.

Unfortunately i can't move the operation postProcessData to the myFunc. If i could i would have added the call in the then block but i can't ...
