1. Identify the domain you're interested in
2. Learn how to write effective user stories and acceptance criteria
3. Follow Dibakar Singh on LinkedIn , he shares BA material to crack interviews
4. If you're outspoken and good at building rapport with in+ ext stakeholders and teams then you'll switch to BA more easily
5. Learn basics business analysis and how to research for competitive analysis of products( as you'll be working in the capacity of a domain SME)
6. Remember it's very easy to switch to BA if you have an Agile Mindset and you can identify gaps in an existing workflow of client's product
Hope that helps:)
