Good, IMO, especially since you're early in your career. The client service experience you have will transfer, and I think you can easily find a way to connect your financial background to revenue forecasting and budget management. I'd be happy to talk with you more if you'd like. Feel free to PM me.

Hi..for a business analyst of 6 yoe what are the technical courses that can be taken up?

Just graduated with Aerospace Engineering degree. I am interviewing for multiple positions at once with different companies. One gave me an offer and they want me to get back to them within 2 days. I still have other interviews scheduled and some for higher paying jobs (around 90k) What should I do?
I do like the company that gave me an offer but their base pay was 80k and they went up to 85k. Is asking for them to match the 90k too much? The position is associate systems engineer.

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
