In the past, I have also worked as a business analyst, project coordinator, and QA engineer. I just now need to know the next step. Are you available for one on once coaching?

    You can include a Business Intelligence Analyst as a more specialized medium between a Business Analyst and a Data Analyst. A BI Analyst works on requests to build Dashboards/Reports by eliciting requirements, providing mockups, and working with Data Engineers to flow the data. Thanks for the great content!

      In my previous company, I was tasked with the most complicated "Data mapping" where I had to look at the old database tables and find a matching table in the new database. That was such a tedious task and none of my BA or Data analysis skills were utilized. You had to look the most complex data model diagram and ask questions from SME's (who were hard to get hold of).

      @@ShowBizJunkie I’ve recently gotten into data models, schema, and databases, and you're right: it’s a whole different world than doing EDA in Python or Excel. It certainly will grow your skillset as a Data Analyst if you can learn the BI aspects of the business.

    One thing that he didnt touch on is that Business Analyst has a wide range of field. From health care, to marketing to real estate to production and operations (which I am working as a BA now) to finance. It depends on the company and your specific background. No company would want an analyst with IT background to handle their financial document. If anyone wants to become a BA, pick your specific interest.

    In title, I've been both Data and Business Analyst. As a Business Analyst, I was expected to also have the skillset of a Data Analyst to be able to analyze our business and tell the story. The project manager portion for me has been working with our internal IT team, and/or external contractors, to troubleshoot and resolve any data issues in the reports that you are using. I would say project manager ability in that respect is also a Data Analyst responsibility, in my own experience.

      Hi Gautam,
      I've worked as both data analyst and business analyst.
      You're correct - as a business analyst the coding is way less (that's why I wanted to leave it).
      As a business analyst your main skills that you need to master are communication skills. You'll have tons of meetings in order to udnerstand processes, you'l need to document the processes clearly and in detail so that everyone can understand them.
      Hope I was helpful!
