Started off as a Project Support Officer straight from uni, then PMO, then PM, then found my home as a BA which I have been doing for the past 6 years in insurance, telecoms and public sector. I wouldn’t necessarily advocate doing it this way – with hindsight it would have been much better to learn my trade as a permie and then make the jump, but that is the way which it worked for me and I’ve really enjoyed the experience.Comment
