The best you can do is to get into a good training program that will not just tech you the theorotical aspect of business analysis but the practical side in terms of projects or case stdies.
When you sy u fully understand the role of BA , I would challenge you if you know all the skill sets, techniques etc that BA must know like scoping, Use cases, process modelling, brd, frd , traceability, change mngement etc...can you work on a project and create all these requirement docs ? if the ans is no, you need to learn all that...
have an approach in terms of how you want to make a career change
To get started as a BA you need to prepare ypurself step wise. Training shall be taken and you should be careful with what you are getting into.
I will give you an example of our course BA bootcamp that prepares freshers for the BA job.
1. 1st step is to learn the basics of Business analysis. We do that with lots of case studies that help students understand what they will get hen they start working. Lot of the courses that you get in the market teach theortical concepts and do not cover the practical aspects. Our trainers take actual projects and teach students how to write various requirements in the class for those projects. Our clients have called us back lot of times to tell us that our students know a lot more than other BA's working in their company.
2. 2nd step is to prepare for mock intervies. You have to start speaking the language of a BA and mock intervies prepare you for that,Our students feel that almost 99% of the questions were covered as part of the mock interview sessions. You should be prepared to that level before going for interviews
3. 3rd step is to make sure that yuour resume is right for BA market. We screen the resume of our students and make sure that it is suitable as per the latest trend in the market.
If you follow these steps, you will definitely secure a job as a BA. Let me know if you have any other question
