I'm currently working as a QA and have done system testing for about 3 years. Most of my day is functional testing or regression testing userstories using a UI, DB, and Excel sheets. I'd like to get into BA/QA for products using GenAI and other AI models. Wondering how much of a transition that'd be or is it as simple as just learning Tableau and Python. Edit: Biggest issue with a lot of corporate companies is that they are working on legacy media and super old technologies. What are some of the modern tools that would useful to learn and gain experience in using for BA jobs in AI?
Hi! @naveenmagapu4670 Great question! My five cents would be: - switching to IT BA would be easier than to Data Analyst from experience I got from others, since QA/IT BA are closer - I've looked through around 10k job listings withing last month - about 10 or 15 of them were related to AI or mentioned AI in BA job description. This is based on a) BA jobs in Germany, France, Belgium and b) all BA-related jobs from all IT companies in S&P 500. No clear indication does not mean no AI projects but means it is not a must - There are not that many AI tools for BA. I have seen just a couple - one for BPMN and one for writing documentation. Both were using Chat GPT API. So prompt engineering with LLMs is best I can mention. I hope it helps
@@PassionateBA Very much appreciate the response. I've subbed and beginning my journey studying this weekend. What would you say the most important tools are among the 15k job listing you've seen? I think BA in IT makes a lot of sense for my first step.
@naveenmagapu4670 Happy to have helped you with selection. It is common to have domain-specific or project-specific tools; there are a lot of them. So, there's no reason to list them. Among common ones are Jira, Confluence, tools for UML/BPMN, and office tools. Solution knowledge is more common, like Salesforce, SAP, many other CRMs, solutions for HR, finance, banking etc.
Well, it is a blend of two from what I know, and it is much closer to Data Analyst. I assume the job description has some of these keywords: SQL, Power BI, Tableau, Data mining, VBA, Excel, Python. Am I right, @Prashfinch?
@Prashfinch I see, than it is a Data Analyst. Maybe you have more inclanation towards business side in that job, which is possible. Maybe that's because there is "business" in title. Or just "because")) If it's more about Data analysis, i could suggest you learn from @AlexTheAnalyst who I suppose you already found)
Thank you very much! Could i know the job market of BA in Canada and US? Could i know if a Business analytics degree in north america worth it? For me, i'm a financial analyst in a medium firm for 3 year. I'm looking for a Business analytics master degree to see new opportunities, thank you!
That's a great questions, though I could not help with the answer for those two regions at the moment. What I could do is to point you here - www.reddit.com/r/BusinessIntelligence/ - you might possibly find an answer, there are lots of discussions on the topic like yours

What about a Business Data Analyst ? I have been offered this position which is a blend of the two.

@@PassionateBA Absolutely right.
This role is quite unique to the organisation that I am joining.
