I want to build my career in analytics. I have offer from EY India, EXL and LatentView Analytics.
EY is more on the side of project management and process improvement in SaaS, as told. While there is hands-on in other two.

Following. My company switched all Business Analyst roles to Product Managers (really a combo of PM and PO) and it’s been absolute hell. I thoroughly enjoyed and loved my BA role, and it has not been an easy transition to this (and not equivalent at all like they first claimed). Have been thinking of leaving the company and pursuing BA again elsewhere, but then it seems that more and more companies are going the PO route…I’m in the same boat where I also don’t want to switch to an entirely new field/career.
Rating mine 9 as well
How has it changed? I'm curious what the differences are in those roles.
What in particular is making it stressful?
I imagine working in the retail industry is super fast-paced all the time as you try to keep up with seasonality and customer trends always changing. You might consider a SaaS and/or B2B company. As fun as consumer products can be, B2B organizations tend to have a slower pace by nature (e.g., organizations take longer to buy expensive software than people buy clothes).
Of course this comes with its own downsides, but I generally think B2B is a chiller place to be.
Thanks for this input. What would you rate your stress level at your company?
And for me it’s juggling multiple products with not the most agreeable stakeholders, limited dev resources, and big last minute feature requests from upper management that come with unclear, unfinalized requirements until the 11th hour.
I managed B2B products and it can still be really intense - I think product management work inherently is stressful and intense, but product ownership might be a way to still stay in the product space and reduce the intensity? I also went through a period of time where I considered going back to a business analyst role purely for the great WLB it offered - a lot of the tech BAs I worked with are intending to stay analysts long term for this reason.
8 for me. Is it jerky people or just workload?
Both unfortunately :/
