Looking at the current job market, BI seems to pay slightly more on average, but DA feels like it could pivot deeper into Data Science. Which path do you think offers better job safety and salary growth looking ahead? Curious to hear from people who have transitioned between both.
Hi all, please could you help me understand who owns the technical requirements part? I have just started as a BA outside of the tech space, and we’re looking to roll out a new feature in which I am gathering current state data and requirements - who does the technical requirements?
Any input would be appreciated! thanks!
I started a new project a month ago, and I knew from the interview it might not be the right fit however was desperate to take on something to get by until I find something else. There were red flags in the interview but I thought once I’m on the project it’ll be fine but the onboarding, handover, and settling in, has been nothing short of frustrating and unnecessary obstacles. I thought it’s just growing pains but deep down I know we aren’t a good fit for each other. I’ve been on multiple projects and I’m stumped this is the first time I’ve experienced this. Lack of support and I don’t have the basics to able to do the job. Basically jumping through hoops to gather information that should’ve been provided in the handover. No handover is perfect, I know that, but how hard is it to collate links to everything you have access to and share with the person you’re handing over to? Expected to deliver when I don’t have all the access let alone context. I can’t ask if I don’t know what I’m asking for. I just know that by this point, it shouldn’t be this hard and that it’s not working out. I’ve raised these concerns and issues, some just seem annoyed when I ask for information and expect that I should already have it or received it from the handover. Despite nothing lined up to roll off to, I can’t compromise my sanity and force anymore “push through it” to stay on this project. Literally dread having to work each day. Has anyone experienced this? What did you do?
I’m curious about real-world examples rather than generic “AI can help with requirements” answers.
If you had to share just one use case that has genuinely made your work as a BA faster, better, or easier recently, what would it be?
