Resume Review / What am I Worth? 

 I'll ask first with respect to any written or unwritten rules that I'm not aware of:  Is it appropriate on this forum to post resumes with the intent of getting feedback, not job leads?

Anyway, I soon may be seeking opportunities in the field of Business Process Analysis.  A user on this site (was it Adrian, maybe? didn't think to look beforehand...) introduced me to BPMN a few years back, and it's literally changed my career path ever since --for the better.  I used to be a Web Programmer but I have found that process analysis is my niche, and I really enjoy it and have become our organization's subject matter expect on process modeling and analysis.  A new job doesn't have to be in IT, necessarily; in fact I'd like to apply my skills in an arena where purely making money (I currently work for a large bank) isn't the objective (e.g. philanthropy organization, ASPCA, environmental).

So what am I worth?  That's the question.  I am going to be primarily looking in Asheville, NC, and Raleigh, NC.  I was thinking 62K.  Is this close, according to my experience?  Once I learn that it's 'safe' to post my resume (all sensitive information has been removed), I will post it.

Thanks.

Re: Resume Review / What am I Worth? 

BPMN is not that bad, in fact its really a good notation if you keep it simple. I'm not familiar with pay rates in the States; but I quess $62K is probably OK in Raleigh (keep in mind the USA economy). What about ITRON, they do quite a bit of their development out of Raleigh, NC. check out http://www.itron.com/pages/about.asp.

warm regards,

K

 Thanks for the reply, K.  That's pretty funny, actually, because 62-63K is precisely what I was going to ask for.  Thanks for the link to ITRON, I'll check it out.

Regards,

As Business Analysts in Agile teams, we often hear about Definition of Ready (DOR) and Definition of Done (DOD). But beyond the buzzwords, these two concepts are powerful tools to drive clarity, consistency, and quality in our work. Definition of Ready ensures a user story is truly ready for development. It answers: Is this story clear, feasible...
In today's fast-paced digital world, successful projects aren't just built on great code—they're built on clarity. And that clarity often comes from one key player: the Business Analyst. At the heart of every great product or system is a need—a business goal, a customer pain point, or a regulatory requirement. But busines...
I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...
