I’ve been in finance for about 7 years and really am looking for a change. I’ve been looking into business analyst roles. Does anybody have any suggestions on how to go about obtaining such a role, or know if this is a common transition? Any insight or suggestions would be extremely helpful.

Hi!

Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)

Any thoughts?
