Hey guys,
Right now I’m doing a career search for jobs I might like. I find the business analyst position to be interesting could any BA’s tell me about what they do? (What a day looks like, job satisfaction,$$$$, WFH?). This might be something I would consider doing.

I’m a recent finance grad in Chicago area

I'm not directly in BA, so I can't really answer, but if you don't get any bites, try checking on LinkedIn. If you can find a few people who have this as their title, their profiles should have a breakdown (at least a high-level overview) of what they do day to day.

If you enjoy research and problem solving, it could be a good career option for you. It's definitely a job where you use your brain and spend a lot of time looking at screens and trying to find creative solutions. Since I'm senior now, I also have some managing responsibilities and do a little more "client-focused" type work (AKA: more people-ing).

Should one add their personal technology that are currently used for remote work on their resume? Seems most companies will provide the hardware and software needed. However, it’s unclear if the employer will provide this through Teamviewer/VPN connection or will send an actual computer. Along with this, would it be pertinent to add your internet capability (speed, fios/cable/satellite/dsl)?

What kind of Masters program would you recommend for someone hoping to make it into a senior leadership/executive role in Comms/PR? I have over 6 yrs of experience in Comms in public/private sector.

My question is, is there an advantage of doing a Masters to improve my chances of getting into a leadership role? If so, would an MBA be better than a Masters in PR/Comms?
