Hi fishes,
I am currently working as an UAT tester (both manual & automation) with overall experience of approx 3years. I want to switch to a business analyst role.
Is it possible to get a job for a business analyst position without MBA?
I am willing to learn the necessary skills required too but cannot afford MBA

Please suggest..

You can do the IIBA ECBA certification. It is industry recognised entry level certification for business analysis domain. Then you ask internally to get a project to work in a BA role or you can apply outside opportunities as well. ECBA certification might cost around 20k INR.

Thanks for the suggestion.. I will check more about this certification.

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager. I am really biased toward people with clinical/in hospital experience because, quite frankly, healthcare is a different beast - lots of hand holding and change management. I don’t want to miss the right person because of my bias, so im wondering how many healthcare related AMs have healthcare/clinical experience… thanks in advance!

I have an MBA from the University of Chicago, not that it matters much in sales. I have always been in a consulting role but I think I can make more in sales. I have a competitive personality and I am bored.

What do hiring managers want to hear when they ask "What's your process?" because I don't think I have one.

And when I explain something from Lean UX or something then apparently that's too cookie cutter.
