I work in software development and my week can really vary a lot-hope you enjoy the return of my super detailed vlogs!! A BA in tech consulting, especially at the Big 4, can get involved in a lot of different work so this is a very unique insight into one of my emptier days where I could focus on work. Enjoy!!

love BA work, it’s daily problem solving. Others in the comments you don’t need the tech background, your the between of the stakeholders, sponsors, and the techs or X team building the requirements. Your job is the why, and teamwork. It’s like project management + if you know about PJM work. Been doing it for years and it’s been a great career path.

@@gbh1135 hey! It’s so strange to see my original comment so many months later 😂 - quick update, I’m nearly a year and half into my role and have now been promoted! Becoming a BA definitely becomes easier with time and I’d definitely say the key to being successful in this role is stakeholder management & becoming a trustworthy source of information (but this develops with time). Depending on your team/project you will be engaging with a wide range of people so it’s important to stay organised and make sure everything is well documented and VISIBLE! I’ve completed a BCS qualification and that has helped me to learn lots of BA techniques/agile methodologies. I studied economics and finance at university.

Hi Devamsha, I was thinking of transitioning from audit to becoming a business analyst. I don't enjoy accounting but I do like the data analytics, reviews and reporting side of the job (unfortunately the rest of audit doesn't interest me). How did you get a business analyst role? I was thinking of going back to school to study technology instead of pursuing my CA. Any advice?

Business Analyst here, you can study Management Information System, and spend time on studying SQL code, you don't have to study IT cause it is more tech-focused. Business Analyst just require basic knowledge about programming and how software carry out tasks. However, you need some understanding regarding business, such as accounting, HR, Marketing, Logistic, and other software related to specific industry (user level at least) . When a client ask for a specific function on a system, you will know what kind of modification is necessary for the system to work properly based on requirement.
