Is a Business Analyst closer in job role to a Consultant or a project Manager?
I have recently joined a service based consulting firm, with my role as a BA in Banking domain but wish to get into PM roles in the near future. I'd deeply appreciate your inputs from your career journey or any suggestions to eventually create a strong profile for PM roles in Big tech firms.
I'm sure this thread would help a lot of aspiring PMs learn from your journey

Hello Fishes,

I have a question, What are the possibilities that I can do a job change to Accenture - Reporting/R2R/P2P profile considering I have no prior experience in the same. I am currently associated with RBS as Operations Analyst and having over 18 months of experience.

Since, I am on a contractual role, the main reason for switch is to get a permanent position in a good organization as I want to be free minded in terms of Job Security.

I’ve been with my firm for just over 2 years and a recruiter for a hedge fund reached out to me for a Research analyst role. Pay is about 60% higher than what I make right now BUT I feel like the role is a bit of a regression.

Hey guys I am moving from a small consultancy as a business analyst. I have been offered a role as a consultant at Deloitte Digital and they’re offering £50k core salary. I am also in the final stage for capgemini which i’m 90% sure i’m getting but they’re offering around £60k (i think i’ve sort of forgotten). But my question is will Deloitte increase the offer amount? is it negotiable? I think my mistake when they first asked me what my salary expectations would be i said 50k.

Views on a “Capabilities and Insights Analyst - Private Equity” position at McKinsey or “Knowledge Analyst - Private Equity” position at BCG? My understanding is they are the same as Strategy& Deals Strategy/EYP Transactions Strategy junior roles. MBB just has a weird name for the position because most junior level people at the firm aren’t that specialized. Are these assumptions correct? Would I be more of a back end slide printer at MBB versus Big 4? Is the MBB title worth it if so?
