Description

One of the beauties of Business Analysis job is that you never know what your next project is going to be. Will it be a product for financial reporting or evaluating a company's share price? A tool to manage privacy in public information? A functionality to assort products for a huge retail store chain? An airplanes / hotels booking engine? You name it. A Business Analyst should have a basic understanding of different domains (for example, Finance, Documentation, Retail, Hotels / Airlines - as mentioned above). We suggest reading articles from Harvard Business Review, a wonderful magazine that is on the table of C-Suite of the top companies: those people share their experience in the HBR articles. By the way, many of them are available for free once you sign up.
