Hi everyone,

I’m looking to transition my career from Business Development to Business Analyst. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on relevant certifications and reference materials that would help me make this switch smoothly.

If you have any recommendations for online courses, books, or specific certifications that are well-regarded in the industry, please let me know. Thank you!

Business Development is a better and less complex role compared to Business Analyst.

There is no boundaries to what Industry has been asking from Business Analyst role so don't join. You ll feel like you got stuck.

From outside and at a distance this looks easy but it's way complicated as it's not a very clearly defined role in practical SDLC

My background is in tech transactional. I joined a cybersecurity SaaS startup at the end of last year and now also handle more generalist matters in addition to all things commercial-related. I have a number of books on contracts that I’ve found super helpful over the years (The Tech Contracts Handbook, A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Sign Here, etc.). Can anyone recommend books they’ve found helpful for L&E matters, privacy matters, product matters, or marketing/advertising matters?
