A day in the life of my new job as a business analyst in tech/digital consulting. 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.

@Devamsha 2 года назад

Thanks very much for sharing your thoughts! I 100% agree about not needing the tech background. I don’t have one myself!

I’d love to see more ‘day in the life of a BA’ style vlogs! I just started working as a BA after uni in September & it’s so weird starting a role from home & having no idea if I’m doing my job correctly 😅

@Devamsha 2 года назад

I’ll keep these comin in that case!! Congrats on your job though and for now.. don’t worry about having an idea 😆 when I just joined I had no idea. Just focussed on staying curious and working hard 😄

@gbh1135 Год назад

Hi! Can I ask how you’re doing now, 11 months later? And what did you major/minor in during university? I think that’s really cool!

@jill7546 Год назад

any updates?

@faridabbb Год назад

@@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.

Can non-business majors in a non-technical field transition into a BA career? Any tips or advice on how to become a BA? I want to become a BA but my undergrad is in linguistics and my master's is in instructional design.

is the salary growth rate similar for business analyst and the data analyst? is it true BA has higher chances for the on site opportunities. My dream is to go the US. I wanted to work as a data analyst but i heard for onsite opportunities one should choose BA. need your perspective

3:32 What you're describing when you have a set number of tickets that can be in one column at a time is called "WIP Limits" aka Work in progress limits which is most commonly found in Kanban teams which is a Agile framework. Do your teams work in an agile environment?

Could I ask what pushed you away from accounting? Did you not try out other types of accounting like mangerial etc?

@Devamsha 2 года назад

I didn’t try them out but had a good idea of what they’d entail and it wasn’t for me right *now*. I had a background with some digital skills and wanted to pursue them!

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?

@HuyNguyen-zo6hc 2 года назад

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.

There are good eggs out there 😇 I would love to chat about this but weary of providing too much ‘advice’ - will maybe do a vid on my own portfolio instead?! Thanks for watching and the suggestion though 😄
