Is a Business Analyst closer in job role to a Consultant or a project Manager?
I have recently joined a service based consulting firm, with my role as a BA in Banking domain but wish to get into PM roles in the near future. I'd deeply appreciate your inputs from your career journey or any suggestions to eventually create a strong profile for PM roles in Big tech firms.
I'm sure this thread would help a lot of aspiring PMs learn from your journey

Good discussion topic but nobody would reply because it is not related to salary 🤣 as most of the people are open to discuss only money part

Now about this q.
I am also a BA.

so BA can act as a PM, but he will still need time and have to learn tools, practises, a pm follows.

Torn as how to request off as an S3. Could materialize to nothing but could be good for reconnecting.
