For BA knowing all analytical formulas is must. Quick thinking and decision making quality adds to it. To analyse first you should know how to make reports and how to read it.
Nowadays it's all about automation for reports and real-time work. Having proficiency in automation applications will be good. If your AI/ML could land you with good salary for sure.

When I moved in-house a year ago as a BigLaw mid-level, I took a 45% pay cut, far more than I was comfortable with (although I was fine with a 20-30% cut). I took the job because it was a great role and I was focused on making the jump in house and developing the skills I wanted, which required me moving away from my firm practice area. Now that my year-end review is coming up, how do I ask my company for a significant pay raise (not just a 2-5% inflation-matching raise)?
