Need Help Switching from BD to BA

I took a BD role when I couldn’t land a BA opportunity, aiming to build a strong foundation in business operations and stakeholder management. While I’ve gained valuable experience, transitioning to BA has been tough. I’m Salesforce certified, learning Jira, and continuously upskilling. Any advice on positioning my experience or finding opportunities? Open to relocation—would appreciate suggestions or leads!

I went to the bathroom to rinse it off but then when I went into the break room I passed out in front of two of my coworkers and my manager. When I woke up on the floor, my coworker told me I was out for 3 mins. The manager was belittling the situation and threatening my position
