I think it's pretty easy to transition from Ops analyst to Program Manager role. It's basically one level up, right? I would try to take on initiatives that stretch beyond what is considered analyst work, like ownership of an recurring initiative. It's kind of like establishing your brand/reputation at EY. Once you're known as "the go-to guy/girl" for something, it becomes easier.

You're welcome, and good luck!

Hello, in my previous organisation I worked in development domain (Oracle IAM Tool and Java)and my post was software Engineer, i joined Wipro as project Engineer in April 2022 and was assigned non technical project as an analyst.

I fought my way hard to get released from the project. However my designation is changed as Analyst. Should I ask for change in designation as I know that analyst is non-technical profile? Would my designation impact my future role as well?

I have not been on a project for over 3 months. Since I joined, I have been put in training. The training got extended by a month and now it's close to 4 months since I joined and without a project.

What should I do? People say that I'm lucky to get paid without doing any work, but it is stressing me out. I need the experience. The uncertainty is freaking me out, with rumours of layoffs and the certification program and all.

How do I get into a project? How long do I have to wait more?
