I've been looking for stuff like this - thanks.

I'm trying to start a career as a BA and expect that it will be handy to know SQL, which is fine, but I haven't been able to find anything out there that simulate the kind of scenarios and tasks SQL would be used in. I suppose your site is a step closer to that.




Hows the step into BA going for ya? What kind of things besides SQL do you have to learn?


Not great! Plenty of vacancies for BAs and junior BAs alike, but they all stipulate experience. I've been looking for graduate BA vacancies, but - outside of London - they're few and far between. A few BA roles are also quite heavy on the numerate side of things, which I have to cast aside.

Aside from SQL, I've got UML and Visio on my to-do list. There's also the BABOK reference, but it sounds like it's something that only really starts to make sense when you have something to apply it to and observe.
