Many companies are placing entry-level hires as business analysts (BAs) in their corporations. So what does a BA do, anyway? Since the definition can vary widely, starting off as a BA can be a very lucrative decision. Working as an analyst will give you a great deal of experience in a variety of fields. Many business analysts are involved in some capacity with information technology (IT), while others are required for marketing and/or financial projects.
Business analysts deal with all types of situations. They are brought in to assess the challenges in a company and generate ways to resolve problems and issues. Business analysts have diverse backgrounds: many have technical backgrounds in engineering or hard science, while others obtained a liberal arts degree. To be successful, you must demonstrate that you are well-rounded and have achieved measurable success.
Here are some top firms that look for Business Analysts as entry-level hires:
• Accenture
• Deloitte
• McKinsey & Company
• Oliver Wyman
• Symantec
