    I am currently pursuing my Doctorates in business administration with emphasis on organizational performance and change. A lot of the classes are revolved around quantitative research, qualitative research, statistics for research, etc. We are also covering SPSS. I decided to join a local college to gain certifications in report analyst - classes covered are SQL, data modeling, Intro to IT, Tableau, Microsoft Access, data visualization and reporting. After that, I will be pursuing Python!

    I have just finished university, having done an undergraduate degree in molecular biology and a masters degree in regenerative medicine. I am aware that this is a very different career path, but I am hoping to put the analytic skills I have gained from my degree, and the personal skills I have gained from a management position within an events company, to good use.
    I am attempting to enter a graduate scheme as to progress into a career as a business analyst. Your videos are very inspiring and I'm glad I came across them.

    Honest question: I'm working on my MBA in Business Intelligence...and in the meantime, I'm pursuing specialties on my own (such as Salesforce, Qualtrics, etc. and other things I know are commonly used). What do you think is a reasonable salary expectation (STARTING salary, keeping in mind I do have about 11-12 years of professional experience, just not in this particular industry)? Thanks Jen! :)

    Hey, I am an IB Y2 student and will begin my undergraduate degree in the second half of 2022. I love the job of business analyst and truly desire to be one. However, I am a bit confused in choosing the right degree for this career. Should I do a
    Bachelor of Economics degree
    OR
    Bachelor of Commerce degree (major in information systems, etc)
    Which would provide a more clear path to becoming a business analyst?
    Hope to receive a reply by anyone. Thank you🙏🏻

      Brian, I am about to finish up a masters degree in business analytics. Even though there are a lot of visuals involved, most of what you would need to know can be found on RUclips. There are a few basic principals that you would need to understand to make a simple but effective visual. Often the best principal is just that, to keep it simple. If you would like some reference material I would be glad to get you links to some wonderful videos that I have watched to further my education on the side. :)

      Then you didn't listen - which means BA might not be the best path for you.
      She explained quite clearly the different steps to take. First, decide which type of BA role/field of specialization you want to pursue, which means researching BA openings and deciding which you like/which suits you best. Then, review the skills they're looking for (hard/technical, and soft) and start developing them - either through formal education, related work experience, consulting, self-employment, or online courses/certification programs. She even explained that she linked a video in the description about developing those base skills. Then, make sure you've developed all of the core, foundational skills to the profession - which she lists. Then, identify niche skills to give you an advantage against other candidates when looking for a job. She THEN explains that another path is to get your degree or formal education and try to land an internship. If you can't go to school, working with a coach on a self-directed learning program w/ certifications and building a portfolio to demonstrate ability is an option.
      I mean.. I'm not sure what other information you want? For any job/profession, it's pretty much the same. Look at what employers require. Develop the skills and/or education requirements if applicable. Try to get experience through internships/entry-level positions, self-employment (if applicable), or demonstrate ability through transferrable skills. Then, try to find ways to stand out as a candidate through specialization, unique training/background, or niche experience. Then apply for the job. What else are you looking for?
