November 2015
Okey!

September 2015
Company merging right now.
Business Analyst, IT:
Pros: Good benefits, not great. Flexible for start times and taking time off.
Cons: The company is merging with Lafarge, it's closes competitor, so job security is questionable. Pay is lower then others of equal size. The future looks great for the company but not so great if your a lower level employee.
September 2015
Be Happy with Ambiguity & Leading from "Behind-the-Scenes"
Business Analyst, IT:
People leverage a BA to help make things make sense. It's still a very new role to many companies and firms and parts of it are very meta.
Often while you are eliciting, defining, and documenting requirements and processes, you will be simultaneously demonstrating the process for doing so and standardizing it.
Developers, Project Managers, Tech Leads, UX & Design and Business stakeholders are not always going to know where in the Venn diagram your contributions end that their's begin and vice versa.
Job postings will often ask to be a project manager, a coder, a designer, a financial analyst, a "savior" of all things project and business related and you will have figure out (much like practicing analysis on the job) "is what they say they want, what they really need?"
It's a rewarding job if you like solving problems, helping others, and serving something larger than yourself, but it's a "behind-the-scenes" gig so the ability to be happy with your invisible leadership is paramount.
