In retrospect, I changed jobs several times, basically because Maslow's penultimate floor was dissatisfied, with little money and insecurity.
The so-called ba is a business analyst. Internet product manager who is very popular now, I also understand it as ba.
Different from development and testing, the advantages of BA depend largely on its business background, rather than purely technical posts.
That's why Pakistan is so entangled in job hopping.
If you still work in the original industry, it is basically an accumulation, and you can ask for a slightly higher price. Who told us to bring our own plug-in as soon as we came! The new unit saves money and cultivates your business knowledge. If you catch it, you can use it and generate value. Whoever uses it will be happy.
But, but, but, if you can't find something related to the original industry, you will fall into all kinds of entanglements. You said that after three or five years of financial business, you suddenly wanted to engage in supply chain. ...
If you were me, what would you choose?
I really struggled for a long time.
I had seven or eight years of BA experience at that time, and what finally made me determined was that I was really interested and enthusiastic about this profession. I like to study business logic, introduce my designed business by telling stories, like customers' appreciation of my designed products, and like to bring people a sense of accomplishment.
Therefore, I want to say that it is feasible to change careers in Pakistan, but! You should seriously consider the following questions.
Just like my analysis of myself, you have to find a moment that makes you happy and devoted. What are you doing?
Because they are not in the mood for Pakistan. Originally, you can choose to do a test when you are doing a BA, just as you can choose to do a BA when you are doing a test, and a cake maker can choose a kebab. ...
Therefore, if you are dispensable for Pakistan, the risk of changing careers will be even greater. I suggest you be careful.
Changing professions means that you have to learn a lot of professional knowledge. Not to mention communicating with customers at the beginning, even the internal development of the team knows the business better than you.
You must use all your spare time to study and recharge.
You should make sure that you can continue to study after you are fresh.
Although I still feel very shallow, I am still studying hard and improving myself.
Therefore, if you are not prepared for sustained efforts and being hit, I suggest you be cautious.
The so-called non-business skills refer to parts other than professional skills and knowledge related to your business. For example, Pakistan emphasizes communication and logical thinking skills.
I collected some resumes of Ba last year, including now. I know that if I can find a bachelor of arts in the same field, the chances are quite low. This is one of the reasons why I said that I can charge high prices without changing careers.
So, I don't look at the professional background, what should I look at?
Look at your logical thinking ability, you can express your thinking conclusion orderly and clearly. For example, I will ask, if you want to design and develop a software, a function, what will you do?
So, if you think it's enough that you can draw prototypes and speak Chinese, then I suggest you be cautious.
Therefore, it is feasible for BA to switch to other industries. However, if you think clearly about these problems, you can jump happily, jump happily and turn smoothly.
Write it at the end
I mainly put forward the above suggestions for BA in traditional software industry. For the products of the Internet industry, Wang should have reference significance.
I mentioned the difference between the two in my other article before, which makes it less difficult for Internet products to change industries, but the depth of professional accumulation will be insufficient.
