Hi everyone, I was offered a position of business intelligence engineer. And I am quite keen to transition to the business side, especially something relating to business development or strategy. How likely will I be able to transition with this role? Happy to connect with anyone with similar experiences!

If you are able to act as that translator and conduit where you can talk to and translate between both audiences (business and technical), and articulate the outputs and meaning of analytical insights that resonate with business stakeholders, that is a tremendous asset that comes with time and experience.

I have transitioned to very different roles internally and I did it by finding gaps/problems in areas that interested me then solving them, even if it was outside of my job duties. Build relationships with decision-makers who have challenges and offer to help solve them (make their job easier, fill the gap). Then you'll have the experience without the title, but I you'll have proven you can do it. I've heard this is called "start doing the job you want before you get it." Of course, you need a supportive work culture that let's you do this and doesn't take advantage of it - so maybe start by talking to boss or other seniors at your company about your ambitions and offer to help with side projects. Thst can transition you into a nee role. It worked for me.
