A Business Analyst sits between the business and the delivery team, turning vague ideas into requirements engineers can actually build. This template helps you show real impact, not just a list of artefacts you produced. Plug in your experience and we will guide you on what recruiters scan for first.
Copy these as starting points and swap in your own numbers.
2024–2025 estimates. Wide ranges by experience and seniority.
Not like a developer. But intermediate SQL and a basic grasp of APIs make you significantly more valuable, especially when you need to investigate data on your own.
Product Managers own strategy and business outcomes, while Business Analysts go deeper into requirements and documentation. On small teams the roles often blend into one person.
Realistically B2 and above. You will run meetings with clients directly, write specs and negotiate scope, so upper-intermediate is the baseline.
ECBA or CCBA are not mandatory, but they help when you are early in your career and have less experience to point to. Real projects and artefacts you can walk through carry more weight with recruiters.
