来几年,商业分析师(BA)的职位数量会爆炸式增长。像IBM这样的顶级公司正对商业分析进行更多的投资,因为这可以帮助他们实现业务目标。BA是就业市场中收入最高的职业之一。预计在未来5-6年内,商业分析师的岗位需求每年会以惊人的19%的速度增长。作为技术岗位,BA的工作职责是多方面的,在极具挑战性的同时,它可以帮助你获得财务稳定性,职业发展和职业成就。


薪资


商业分析师在各个行业和各个公司中的要求不尽相同,求职范围广泛,深受各个行业的喜爱。根据Glassdoor给出数据,BA在纽约的平均薪资可达75k+,在三藩市的平均薪资为83K+!



有些商业分析师的年薪甚至可以达到120K+!



职业前景


BA的职业发展路线相对灵活,不仅能够纵向上升,也可以横向移动(从一个职位移到同一级别的另一职位)。这些职业变动可以让你丰富各类经验,同时可以拓展新的技能。

BA职业发展升职的路径


商业分析师是一个既需要具备商业思维,又需要掌握分析技术的岗位。传统商业分析师的发展路径的最终目标往往希望成为CIO(Chief Information Offier),而随着商业市场发展变迁,BA的发展路径变得更多元化。

如果你希望在技术领域有所建树, 你可以从商业分析师到数据库架构师,再到企业架构师等等,向最终目标CIO进发。要从高级商业分析师转变为业务架构师,你可以从战术转向战略,从内向型重点转向外向型重点,并全面了解公司。

如果你希望更多在商业领域发挥你的能量,你可以从商业分析师转此产品经理(PM),业务经理人等等,完成最终成为COO(Chief Operation Officer)的职业路径。从业务分析师转变为产品负责人,你需要培养不同的领导技能,比如,以客户为中心和决策权。



一种途径不一定比另一种更好。
你可以从探索各种不同的选项。

BA的一天


作为一个BA,一天的工作生活是什么样子的呢?想像一下,拿着一杯咖啡,走到办公桌前坐下,脑海里对一天的工作目标开始了规划:50%以上的时间在开会都是有可能的,因为BA很关键一环就是不断的和公司的利益相关者(Stakeholders)或客户沟通需求,定义商业问题,和各个部门的经理沟通可用的资源。有时BA也需要钻到数据里面,看看现有的数据,是否能够解决客户提出的问题,该如何解决。最后将方案反馈给数据组或产品组。如果你是一个商业全局观强,又喜欢social的数据爱好者,那么BA是一个不错的职业选择。




BA经常会和不同部门的人合作,所以BA需要很强的“说服能力“或“领导能力“,才能够让更多的人买账,并把工作游刃有余的开展下去。相对而言,数据分析师(DA)也需要一定的交流能力,把从数据处理得到的洞察展示出来。但是相对来说,更多的是跟数据打交道,而不是和人打交道。有时候DA也和BA有紧密的沟通。因为虽然BA对数据有初步的判断,DA更多的是负责数据层面的执行,以达到客户的要求。

BA有什么性格特点呢?欢迎对号入座!

  • 拥有伯乐精神:一旦看到好主意,能很快发掘它的价值。

  • 善于调和矛盾:面对冲突时,你愿意帮助解决,权衡利弊。

  • 固执于尽善尽美:尽管你可能没有发现,但是你一直在寻找更有价值的东西,并坚持做到最好。

  • 喜欢挑战新事物:在短时间内学习新知识,想想就让你兴奋。

  • 喜欢问为什么:你可能像个2岁小孩子一样,总喜欢问为什么。

  • 任人唯贤:你喜欢提出解决方案,并善于找到实施细节的人。

  • 交流好手:当人们彼此交谈却互相不知所云,你总能感觉到,并愿意帮忙澄清。



技能要求


商业分析师通常需要申请者软实力和硬实力兼备。商业分析人员需要知道如何提取、分析和报告数据显示的趋势,并能够与他人共享这些信息。这样有利于业务人员在业务端应用这些信息做出正确的决策。另外,商业分析师并不需要很强的IT背景,只需要对数据库系统、产品和数据分析工具的工作方式有一定的了解。这一岗位更偏好于熟悉完整业务流程,并能够熟练运用各种分析方法的人。有业务经验和分析能力的复合型人才能更好的胜任这一混合角色。


商业分析师需要具备的软技能有:


  • 善于发现商业痛点并能转化为可量化的问题

  • 注重细节,分析结果保持高水平的准确性

  • 对公司战略和业务细节有足够的了解

  • 沟通并连接内部利益相关者(Stakeholder)

  • 口头和书面表达能力

  • 一定的项目管理能力

  • ……


硬实力包括但不限于:

  • 了解数据库管理相关知识,SQL一定要会!!!

  • Python或R要熟练其中之一

  • A/B testing和必要的统计知识

  • 至少熟练操作一款可视化软件,比如Tableau……

  • 至少熟悉一种分析软件,比如Excel, SAS, SPSS……

  • ETL是加分项

  • ……
