    BA is a job title that truly differs depending on your location and the company you work for. I work as a BA in the UK and it’s much more focussed on requirements gathering, process mapping, stakeholder management. You absolutely do not need SQL skills or even data analysis skills in the most part. You need an understanding of data, sure, but the data analyst will do more of the technical work. BA roles here are much more like BRM (business relationship manager) roles. More about stakeholder management, turn business req’s into tech speak for the devs, manage UAT, the glue between IT and the end users essentially. I’ve been a BA for 10 years across 5 different orgs and it’s always been the same. I’ve spoken to other BA’s in Australia and the role is different again. So I appreciate this video may be more suited to the US audience but the tasks and role scope differ greatly between country/org/project 😊

      Same thinking and do agree with you. I also studied BA (exactly is IT BA) which will gather requirements from stakeholders, analysis them and design into function, feature to solve the problems and meet stakeholders’ needs. 😊

    I've been working as a business analyst for the past two years. Even though my job title is business analyst, I've been gradually moving on to the role of a product manager and I carry out a mixture of tasks related to business strategy and product management at the moment. I have been following your content since last year and they've been really insightful. I always learn something new and honestly find your videos oddly calming. Thank you for all the hard work you put in to create such quality content and for sharing a piece of your life with us. Can't wait to follow you on your journey and watch you grow. Cheers to 2023! ❤

BIz Strat + Product mang sound like such a cool mix, best of luck to you, i'm sure you're already killing it!

    I am a Business Analyst for more than a year now and I must say that this position is challenging and yet fulfilling specially when you get approvals from clients regarding your recommendations. You really need time management and proper prioritization of requests based on urgency of report. I love how this work gives me strong decision making skills and learn to look for deeper reasons or bigger picture behind every problem.

    This video hits the nail on the head! I wish I had watched this when I was transitioning from teaching. It's easy to make these mistakes, but being aware of them can save a lot of time and frustration. Well done!

      How were you able to transition from teaching to tech, did you have a background in tech already?

    this is the most related "day in life" youtube video. other video only covers waking up, commuting to work, have a cup of coffe, then go home.
