just because there is misunderstanding, so try to make it clear it here(although, i think, it's hard to do it here :) )

请问做BA的华人英语都很强么，俺已经听过很多BA强调要求很好的communication的。

i guess english is very important for BA, even for non-BA,it's important too.

im hongkie myself....but....i think the no. of good eng speakin chinese from hk n mainland are actually the same...from...experience...

yea... BA ...eng has to be good....fluent and confident.... that's all..if u can somehow manage to con ppl into believing ur eng is good....

apart from graduate program and pure luck.... the easiest way to get BA - IT side job is to be a web developer first in big digital media companies... since they have lots of BA-IT side too....  but u hav to spend 2 to 3 yrs  before u can get into it...

I find most of the Asian's English to be just Fine, though not exceptional, but capable enough for those jobs.

The main problem doesn't come from English level from my experience, it's the "sense of humor", the ability to "Think Outside The Box", the “Problem solving skill following standard sets of protocols" and the ability to "Kick the ball to someone else" that makes the difference.  There are more to it, but English level itself is just one of the factors, and surely not the most important one :)

what you said is more likely the attribute of 阿3 who got a so-so tech skill but an excellent ppl skill

i agree anyways

我想转去Business 那个Level 的Analyst, 但是这个有点难,, 因为要有一定的行业背景. 而且也取决于做BA 在什么公司.

我现在做的这个BA 呢, 偏向provide Solution, 基本上就是跟内部的"客户" 去谈谈,看看他们现在有什么要求, 现在的工作流程; 在根据他们的需求查查有没有Off-shelf 的产品. 可以联系Vendor, ask for quotation, 然后就走Procurement process了. 如果没有可以直接采用的产品, 就看看自己内部是否要做开发, 交给内部开发Team的话就写一个详细的requirement (我这里用Ruby-on-Rail, Agile methodology) 就把Requirement 写到一个 Tracking System 里, 跟着开会做Scrum Master, 参与Testing, Training, documentation 等等....(我较多的时间是在做这个....)

如果是交给外部的人做开发, 就要写一个RFQ... 然后走 Tender Process吧...(这个我不负责...所以不太清楚具体的)
