Hi everyone,

I'm currently looking for a new opportunity as a Business Analyst / Technical Business Analyst and would really appreciate any referrals or job leads.

I have around 4 years of experience working as a Technical Business Analyst in the banking domain on Finacle-based Corporate Internet Banking applications.

My day-to-day work includes:

Requirement gathering and analysis

BRD/FRD preparation

User stories and acceptance criteria

Stakeholder management

SQL for data validation

API integration discussions

UAT and production support

Agile/Scrum and release coordination

I'm based in Hyderabad, India but I'm open to relocating for the right opportunity.

If your organization is hiring for Business Analyst or Technical Business Analyst roles, I'd be grateful if you could refer me or share any openings.

I'm happy to send my resume via DM.

Thank you for your time and support!

Hello,

Looking for a qualified and experienced Business Analyst who has written user requirements and stories for digitisation projects.

Please comment on this thread or directly message me

Massive thanks!!!!

I've been applying for Business Analyst roles in India for a while now, and honestly, I'm getting pretty frustrated with the lack of callbacks.

I have 3+ years of experience, primarily across enterprise/IT and health-tech and an immediate joiner.

I've applied to a lot of roles that I genuinely feel are relevant to my profile, but the conversion from applications → recruiter calls/interviews has been disappointing.

A few things I'm questioning about my resume/search strategy:

• Is my resume positioning too generic for BA roles?
• Am I putting too much emphasis on tools/keywords instead of actual business impact?
• Should my experience bullets be much more quantified?
• Does my Infosys experience come across as strong enough, or does it look too generic/IT-services oriented?
• Am I targeting the wrong roles given my background?
• Are there ATS/formatting issues I'm overlooking?
• Should I be focusing more on referrals/networking rather than portals?
• Am i asking for too much? (40%)

I'm also exploring opportunities outside India (UAE/Netherlands) because I'm honestly getting tired of the Indian hiring process and the compensation being offered for 3+ YOE.

Not looking for validation — if my resume/strategy is weak, I'd genuinely rather hear that. What would you change if you were in my position?

​

I've recently started learning Business Analysis and have been practicing stakeholder interviews by role-playing with ChatGPT.

The problem is, I often feel like I'm not asking the *right* questions. I understand the process eventually, but I either ask low-value questions or jump to solutions before fully understanding the problem.

For experienced BAs: How did you develop the ability to ask the right questions during stakeholder interviews?

Was it just experience, or is there a specific mindset, framework, or resource that helped you?

I'd really appreciate any advice, books, courses, or personal tips that helped you improve this skill.

I’ve got over ten years in business analysis across several industries, but this is the worst job market I’ve ever seen. My wife is telling me to start showing up at day labor places if I can’t find anything. Meanwhile, two months of non-stop applying have only gotten me two responses and one interview, for a position which apparently was never been meant to be filled.

Has anyone found a different career path that BA skills transfer to and doesn’t require a degree? Or gone all the way down to entry level and be taken seriously? I’m at my wits end, but it’s legitimately starting to feel like this market wants no part of me anymore. Everything I’ve thought to look at that’s related, I’m either way overqualified or under qualified for, and they’re not responding either.

Hi everyone,

Being an AI leader in my organisation and the local domain, I get asked a lot about the future of roles.

I've put down some thoughts into a wiki article, please take a moment to read it and let me know what I should add or change please? now with a non-mod link 🤣

Hello everyone,

I recently graduated with a BBA and I'm trying to figure out my next move.

Quick background:

BBA graduate with a focus on data analytics

Various college projects showcasing analytical work

Strong communication skills

My parents want me to do an MBA at a Tier-3 college right now, but I'd rather build real-world experience first, gain relevant skills, and pursue a better MBA program once I have some career clarity and work experience under my belt.

My questions:

1)What career paths make sense for a BBA grad with analytics skills? (Business analyst, data analyst, ops, something else?)

2)Has anyone taken a similar "job now, MBA later" route how did it work out?

**If you know of any fresher openings, referrals, or companies actively hiring BBA grads, I'd genuinely appreciate a pointer in the right direction.**

**Any advice, direction, or leads would mean a lot. Thanks in advance**!

Please guys I'm actively looking for work and would appreciate any leads. If you know of open positions, or you're in HR and hiring, please get in touch i am willing to work on any field. Thanks so much!

Hello, I’m relocating to the US from Italy and I’m struggling to secure an interview as a Business Analyst. So far I have sent hundreds of applications, but I have heard back only from a handful of companies, which later ghosted me.

I’ve been working for a major financial institution in Italy for two years as a Technical Business Analyst, and before that, I was a software developer for a global consulting firm. While my experience is considered niche because of my work with specific European online payment systems, I believe my skills are highly transferable so I am having a very hard time understanding the reasons behind this struggle and of course, this is affecting my self esteem (which is already pretty bad, lol).

Could you offer any suggestions? I’d really appreciate it. 

hey, I'm 18F

I'll be joining college this year , I'm pursuing ba in economics and i think business analyst is a good career option for that.

I know my undergraduate course won't be enough to get a job so I'm not replying on it. I'm planning to learn sql, excel and powerB and apply for internships during my college. But is it even worth in 2026? If I do mba will this job pay me enough to live a good lifestyle I want for myself, since i come from a middle class background.

I might be wrong, my plan might be wrong. I'm open to hear opinion from the seniors and guide me through.

Hi everyone , I’m currently a salesforce Developer in a reputed company in HYDERABAD with 2 years of salesforce knowledge on service and sales cloud, but i have more knowledge and grip as an SALESFORCE ADMIN , lately i realised, coding is not my cup of tea and didn’t want to waste my time and energy on something that doesn’t make me happy working on - so i always wanted to become a business analyst , now the problem is i cant figure out how and where to start, should i do MBA? or a distant course ? or any certification also i dont want to leave salesforce domain- can yall please suggest me here🙏🏻

For context, I have been working in the IT industry for over 6 years. I initially chose this path because I found genuine fulfillment in showing people how technology can help their daily lives, which eventually led me to my current role as a Business Analyst (BA).

Recently, however, I’ve felt completely burnt out and uncertain about my career direction. Below is a breakdown of my career history and the challenges I've faced. I would really appreciate advice from senior professionals who have been in the industry for a long time.

Career History

1st Job (2.5 years) – Small ERP Solution Provider

• Role/Scope: Started as a fresh graduate, learned the Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), managed L1 and L2 support tickets, handled inbound/outbound calls, and gained exposure to implementing their proprietary ERP system.
• Why I Left: While the environment and colleagues were fine, management was disorganized. They frequently assigned fresh grads to handle client-facing issues without providing context, forcing me to handle escalations beyond my job scope. I left because I wanted to work in a company with a proper corporate structure and clear task delegation.

2nd Job (1 year) – MNC Manufacturing Company

• Role/Scope: Joined to gain exposure to an MNC and work with well-known systems to strengthen my resume. I was expected to assist with their migration from SAP to Oracle, but my primary focus ended up being data migration. I enjoyed this because I like writing SQL queries and transforming data to meet requirements.
• Why I Left: I realized the city was not somewhere I wanted to live long-term, and I felt my learning trajectory had plateaued. After passing my JLPT N2 exam, I was offered an opportunity at a well-known consulting/BPO firm.

3rd Job (3 years, Current) – Global Consulting / BPO Firm

• Initial Expectation: Hired to assist their Japan market team with Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365) F&O implementations, but the firm failed to secure the project after I joined.
• The Struggles:
  • I spent 6 months on the bench while they tried to hold me for the client.
  • Eventually, I was placed on an Australian D365 Finance project, but I was only assigned administrative ADO/Jira ticket updates because they were hesitant to delegate core responsibilities to offshore team members.
  • Knowing how critical chargeability is in consulting and feeling this wasn't real BA work, I proactively requested to transfer to active projects.
  • Since then, I’ve spent 1.5 years on a Government-Linked Company (GLC) project and a D365 CRM banking implementation. However, because I joined during the build and testing stages, I missed out on leading core requirements gathering.
• Compensation & Growth: Despite receiving strong performance appraisals from my Functional Lead, I have received a <2% increment and no promotion in 3 years. When I confronted my manager, his excuse was that he couldn't even fight for himself, let alone me, and advised me to figure out a specialization rather than jumping between domains.

My Current Dilemma & Questions

1. Am I in the wrong industry? After everything I’ve been through, I still feel zero job satisfaction. How do experienced professionals handle these setbacks? Given the corporate friction and unsupportive management, I can't imagine climbing the corporate ladder here. Is this lack of fulfillment normal, or a sign I should pivot out of IT consulting?
2. What should I specialize in for long-term career growth? I want to switch companies, but recruiters tell me my background is too diverse (jumping across ERP, Oracle data migration, D365 CRM, Finance, and Banking) to push for higher positions or higher salary bands. Every project has its own set of problems, but based on my experience—SQL/data mapping, D365 ERP/CRM implementations, Japanese language skills (JLPT N2), and support/BA work—what specific domain or technology stack should I target to build a strong, high-growth specialization?
3. Vendor vs. In-House vs. Market Dynamics: The reason I’m asking about specialization and direction is that I’m considering either hopping to another vendor or moving to an in-house IT team.
   • Both paths require deep product or domain knowledge, which is where I feel stuck.
   • Banking environments can be super high-pressure, so I'm hesitant to jump into that sector full-time.
   • Going to another vendor might just mean repeating the same operational issues I’m facing now.
   • In-house IT roles expect solid domain expertise that I feel I still lack.
   • To make matters worse, most of the job offers popping up in my inbox lately are contract roles.

Given these constraints, what would be the best strategic next move for someone in my position?

Hi, I am doing interview preparation for Business Analyst role. Since I am making a career shift and have no prior IT Background, I am looking for some good AI tools that can help solidify my preparation for the interviews.
Appreciate, if the Reddit community can suggest some tried and tested AI tools for mock interview practice. Thanks in advance

I’m a contractor and the last 2 projects I’ve been on I’ve been hired by a business analyst already in the business.

Although, I’ve found they believe their job is to influence stakeholders and refuse to do any traditional business analysis work. They don’t know the business processes and seem to get annoyed when I ask them.

I get the feeling they don’t do much business analysis and do more managing up, or gossiping it seems like.

Both projects have been behind schedule before I joined which is large done because none of the typical analysis done, in 1 project the change manager was doing the business analysis.

I’m pretty flexible, although it’s frustrating that i seem to be hired to do the job they should have done months ago.

I am an accounting professional with 5 years of experience. In my day to day work, I’ve realised that im doing more analysis work than accounting. And im also getting more credit for my analysis and ai work compared to monthly reporting or reconciliations. Would it be a good idea if i shifted my career??

I'm looking for advice. I'm at crossroads of sorts. I was at my peak during COVID and it all went downhill after that. I lived in Ottawa back then with the family. I worked at Bell and the CRA before that. They were both 6 month contracts. I didn't want anything to do with the vaccine, so it made any future roles more difficult to find.

At the time, I wouldn't look for new roles just anywhere. I targeted IT. It became too difficult to find work without vacc. Time went on, and the gap in the resume formed.

I picked up writing as a hobby around that time which helped with the constant rejections. I had been on government assistance for a while, but that ended when I started working labor jobs. Most of my jobs have been just that—physically intensive work that I'm not cut out for.

It's gotten to the point where I'm just better off volunteering to regrow my skillset.

Ms 365 with the tools I used at Bell don't seem to be enough.

My present thoughts on volunteering to get me out of this mess would be to actively look for people in hiring positions, elaborating on what I can offer, and schedule a meet.

What are the most likely ways to get out of this mess that don't involve a 30k program? Are there other steps I can be taking to improve my chances? Asking on LinkedIn? Asking recruiters? Physically going to companies and asking in person?

Hi everyone, I'm a fresh graduate as software engineer and I decided to start my career as a Technical Business Analyst or any similar role.

I have a 6-months internship experience as a Software engineer where I used some business analysis concepts such as requirements elicitation (functional and non-functional requirements), drew use case UML diagrams, documented an RTM, user stories, and KPI frameworks, conducted competitive/market analysis and built a weighted Jira prioritization matrix for a SCRUM environment.

I'm currently doing a full end-to-end business analysis lifecycle as a personal project mainly for learning purposes and to add to my CV as well.

My main issue is that I'm lacking communication skills, I'm still not that good yet at explaining and expressing myself in English properly but I'm improving (my English level is upper-intermediate).

My questions are:

1. Is it possible to land an entry-level/junior remote job as a Tech BA for my case?
2. Is it possible to land an entry-level/junior job abroad with visa sponsorship (I'm native Arabic speaker, so I can target Gulf countries to eliminate language barrier)?

Good afternoon,

I’m a BAIS major and one of my assignments requires me to reach out to a professional within the field and conduct an informational interview to learn more about it.

If anyone could lend their experience, it would be greatly appreciated. Need someone who would be available within a day, if possible.
