Not even a year into my role as a Business Analyst. I get positive feedback from project team and the client. Leads and leadership tell me that they see my role starting to pick up more high level, client facing tasks but also picking up tasks where I’m starting to work on and practice leadership skills within the project but some days it feels like I’m more of a PMO than a BA.

I’m happy to have A JOB in general but am I being told what I want to hear or am I just not seeing the big picture?

Did you talk to them about the type of work youd like to be shifted towards? If not, make sure you do. Most companies would rather accodomate you than risk you leaving and them having to replace you.

Yes I’ve definitely had those conversations with leads/leadership on my project and I do think that at the end of the day they want what’s best for me and what will improve my abilities and career. I completely welcome anything that would be even remotely seen as “leadership” - working with people, supporting group efforts, and positions of “leadership” are things I’ve cherished in past, obviously not full-time jobs - but I sometimes get nervous that if I’m not getting the strong BA skill base that I would imagine is so crucial to gain in the first year or two that my peers may be developing.

Part of the issue is that I do think there is value in some of the things I’m doing, but I would also like to take up more traditional BA tasks, but also there are other realms I want to dip my toes into. I’m a very indecisive person usually, but especially now being new I want to learn and have experience with anything and everything.

I would not say I’m concerned in the least bit and like I said I believe the people I work with want what’s best for me, but I just figured I would post and see what the opinions of the bowl are.

I am on stage 4 of the hiring process for a job as a Sr Art Director for a CPG brand. I was given a project to develop a product launch. The directions are vague. There are so many ways I could take the project but I’m curious what kind of outline and level of depth you expect from a project like this? I was planning on doing research separately & share so they can see what I normally do, and then a deck showing visuals, mood boards, and messaging ideas etc. Does that seem right?
