👩🏻 about me:
I’m Lillian and I am a 26 y/o Taiwanese working as a business analyst. I moved to the U.S. 6 years ago for college and in my videos you will find me sharing my [early career] stories in tech, navigating through life in my 20s, and building my home away from home.

BA is a job title that truly differs depending on your location and the company you work for. I work as a BA in the UK and it’s much more focussed on requirements gathering, process mapping, stakeholder management. You absolutely do not need SQL skills or even data analysis skills in the most part. You need an understanding of data, sure, but the data analyst will do more of the technical work. BA roles here are much more like BRM (business relationship manager) roles. More about stakeholder management, turn business req’s into tech speak for the devs, manage UAT, the glue between IT and the end users essentially. I’ve been a BA for 10 years across 5 different orgs and it’s always been the same. I’ve spoken to other BA’s in Australia and the role is different again. So I appreciate this video may be more suited to the US audience but the tasks and role scope differ greatly between country/org/project 😊

I've been working as a business analyst for the past two years. Even though my job title is business analyst, I've been gradually moving on to the role of a product manager and I carry out a mixture of tasks related to business strategy and product management at the moment. I have been following your content since last year and they've been really insightful. I always learn something new and honestly find your videos oddly calming. Thank you for all the hard work you put in to create such quality content and for sharing a piece of your life with us. Can't wait to follow you on your journey and watch you grow. Cheers to 2023! ❤

All the hard work you do behind the scenes really shines through in the quality of your videos!

[castorpollux]

this is the explanation that we all need. very practical and captures the real-world situation, not only based on theory. Your explanation is easy to understand, and now I got a better understanding how those 3 roles differ in the work place!! Thanks Lillian much love<3

[xiaoruixue]

Hi Lilian! Thank you so much for bringing such high-quality videos to us! It was a great pleasure to have you on my journey in 2022!

[jennalu]

I work in a tech company as well, and this video resonates with me a lot!! I can see how much effort Lillian has put into this video, it's definitely not an easy task to put all those things together, I'm always looking forward to Lilian's updates, hope everything goes well in your career path!! :)

[alyssachoong]

This is the most easy to understand comparison of the 3 roles I’ve ever come across. This is so simple for non technical people to understand. Thank you so much..

[grainofsalt]

As a business analyst tech, this was so on point. You had me knodding at influence without authority...the hardest part of my job!

[J_...]

I am a Business Analyst for more than a year now and I must say that this position is challenging and yet fulfilling specially when you get approvals from clients regarding your recommendations. You really need time management and proper prioritization of requests based on urgency of report. I love how this work gives me strong decision making skills and learn to look for deeper reasons or bigger picture behind every problem.

[DanielleKocher]

I always learn SO MUCH from your videos Lillian! Thank you!
(I’m 29 and left tech sales a couple months ago- taking the google data analytics cert now + thinking about my next steps. The business analyst explanation was super helpful 🌟)

[chrissysow]

I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to explain the differences!! You are an invaluable resource

[mkuroo]

not only that you explained the differences & different career paths in a nutshell, I also learned another go-to meal that is easy to prepare. subscribing to you channel is so worth it ♥

[mtrg]

everything is so clear with real-world examples. I can’t thank you enough for the slides about Netflix and strategic solutions afterwards ❤

[srishtisri]

srsly I appreciate your efforts!! As I'm currently studying/trying to change my domain to Data analyst/Scientist, your videos literally helps me in getting insights as you yourself work at that domain... Thank you a lot!

Have a great 2023! :)

[janeprincy]

I cant thank you more, this video gave me so much clarity on what i needed. you are going to be my inspiration in life honestly. and loved the editing and the effort you out into it

[brnt.]

As someone who is changing from a sales based career and currently back in school, this video was incredibly insightful. Product Management is my long term goal and it was great to get a sense of what the career pathing looked like, especially when it comes to data analytics roles versus business analytics roles and how they intersect.

[jessicahernandez]

I'm studying data analysis in the Google program, I'm going little by little because I also work in a music company but with patience I'll keep doing it. I love your channel because I'd love to work with data in a music company as Spotify in the future so you inspire me and also the rest of the vlogs are fun :) Saludos desde Colombia!

[sejal]

For the last part, showing your thinking and organizing part of the video is really amazing. You are a really perfectionist and thanks for the highly informative content you gave us. I will keep following your channel in 2023 ❤
