I have been looking for a job as an Data Anaylat. I use to work on Wall Street. Can I use this skill in a different industry?
Hey Yardman,
Yes, a lot of number-crunching skills can be used in different industries/domains, including business analysis.
Expert-level Excel skills transfer very well for many corporate processes. If you have SQL experience pulling data from existing data stores, this would go a long way toward an IT analysis role.
From my perspective in IT systems, a data-centric background would help in data-intensive systems design/development: data warehouses, business intelligence/reporting, etc.
Also, some industries/functions that normally deal with a lot of data might be a good fit. HR (and HR information systems) are very data-driven... I've swapped very sexy Excel models and workbooks with a person who was working to support benefits processes.
