By the skin of my teeth.

Honestly unless your spouse stays at home your trading a huge portion of your family for work. We all do it to some degree, McKinsey would be a huge degree. Plan on being on the road unless your doing NYC FS clients from NYV or something. Starting out you would have to make a lot of career compromises to stay a bit more
Local and you'll work just as hard...

Hi Fishes,

I am a QA engineer in an edutech company. I have an experience of 7.5 years (manual testing- database, front end, mobile and api testing).

I want to move to a BA role. I have good communication skills and an analytical mind. Below are 3 of my biggest questions.

1. Is it too late to switch to a BA role?
2. What are the skills,tools or certifications required?
3. How should I approach a job opening, given that I have no work experience as a BA.

Pls do pitch in your thoughts
