Junior Business Analyst

[Whorty]

Had a few trash emails sent to my old contracting email address for "Junior Business Analyst" roles. Probably all the same one.

I cannot wrap my head around why a company would want a Junior BA on a contract basis.

Is this just saying the pay is tulip and hoping that cash desperate BAs apply?

Yes.

You combine theoretical and conceptual knowledge with hands-on experience. He/she will be a member of the Media Domain Analyst Team which will be composed of Domain architects & analysts coming from different subject matter expertise. His/her main tasks will be: study the Business requirements translate business requirements into user and/or technical stories write high-level concept paper(s), describing the overall system requirements break down the system requirements into manageable subareas (Digital Right Management, Settop Box, Backend, OSS/BSS...

Knowledge of STB through to OSS/BSS requires a hell of a lot of "hands on" experience. I sticking with the pay being tulip. Also baffling is that good E2E hands on experience will lead to much better pay in a tech role than even a senior BA.

I am of the opinion that BAs should ask naive questions to elicit the best results. From the incorrectly spelled customer interface to the operational & business cores might be stretching nativity somewhat.

Correct. They'll get someone who's new to contracting or fresh out of Uni who needs their first step.

When that person has jumped ship for a better gig or they've had to bin them for being crap they'll probably realise their mistake and put it back out at a decent rate.

Doubt it, they will just get another desperate one... I've seen many fresh from uni contractors, one one leaves another replaces them.
