Am an engineering graduate pursuing my last semester of MBA (Marketing & IT). I worked as an Marketing- intern a stock broking company for 6 months and then i have to break for starting up with my MBA. during my course of study in MBA my college did provide me an option to work and to study as well. so, i joined as a BDE in a corporate gifting company for the past 9 months. My major roles and responsibilities includes (Sales, Marketing, report making and Analysis). I was able to feel the passion within me towards analysis rather than Sales. so, i wanna shift my career to Business Analysis. please do help me in the transition of the same.

Regards,
karthik.

You state in your comments that you wish to become a business analyst. Look for roles that include both the BA and the business development side. So, look at the manufacturing, telecom, cable industries where you are going to introduce new products. Then you can be both the business analyst bringing the products to market and the business development side having influence on the products coming to market.

Specialized in Innovation, entrepreneurship and business development. I would like to start my career as Business analyst. During my graduation I had many courses relating both the role [Business analyst and Business development]. As you see my specialization in on innovation, entrepreneurship and business development which involves both analytic as well as development role. So I am in a confused state to decide my career path.
As you discussed above on both BA and BD position where every think sinks my profile. So can I have a best suggestion to decide my path.

Since a lot of what business analyst does is write, this is good. I would encourage you to attend Laura’s classes and learn about requirements gathering. As a technical writer, you must be used to negotiating skills as you talk to the business. Look into courses and you will get there.
