📊 How to Become a Business Analyst with a Six-Figure Salary? 💵

I had a great conversation with Eno Eka, a business analysis expert  and the founder of the Business Analysis School in Canada, discussing how to build a successful career in this field.

Here are the key insights from our discussion:

▫️ A business analyst identifies the company's needs and potential solutions, recommends the optimal option, and oversees its implementation.

▫️ The key difference from a project manager is that a business analyst starts working even before the project launches and continues to assess the results after its completion.

▫️ Business analysts are in demand in areas such as finance, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and the oil and gas industry. Today, there are over 800 varieties of business analyst roles, depending on the industry and technologies.

▫️ The demand for business analysts is projected to grow by 25% by 2030, and in the field of AI and data analysis, it's expected to increase by 41%.

▫️ This profession is ideal for those who enjoy communication, can persuade people, and find unconventional solutions to problems. Business acumen and knowledge of tools like Excel, SQL, and Jira are essential for success.

▫️ Even without experience, you can land entry-level business analyst roles, but for a salary exceeding $100K, a minimum of 5 years of experience is typically required.

▫️ Additional training and IIBA certifications enhance employment prospects and salary negotiation. In your resume, it's crucial to focus on achievements in projects and provide specific figures related to efficiency improvement, revenue increase, etc.
