Finally! A FTE position with benefits and matching 401k along with vacation days and sick. I know for some this may seem silly, but I have been literally a hired gun for the last 3 years and now it's time to transition into something more stable. This positions is heavily into requirements gathering as you would expect for a BA position. However there is a heavy data element to this position as well. I would say it's 50/50 at this point, but obviously when I start I will get a better idea. I have received the thumbs up and just need to fill out the HR paperwork. I'm excited and hopefully this is my last job post for a long while. Being 37 puts me in a serious risk bracket if I continue to hop from contract to contract. This BA position is aligned with a app dev effort, not infrastructure or service management like I am used to, even though the last 3 month contract was heavily into app dev and ETL. Cheers.

    I just did contract work for a year before getting my current FTE role and I completely understand what it's like to not have benefits or get vacation/holiday pay. Congrats man.

    Congrats N2. Sounds very familiar to the Business Analysts at my current company where they are almost Data Analysts for a percentage of their week. It seems like a good mixture :D

    Just woke up from a 2 hour nap LOL Thanks for the kind words. This environment has always had that caring feeling. Thanks a lot for the great responses. PT you are right it's time to settle :) @ Unique A lot of what they were interested in was using query analyzer in Excel and understanding how to concept a database in Access.

    Yeah that definitely sounds like you will be doing some nice data analysis when you are not doing requirements gathering/business analysis. Definitely sounds like an interesting position!

    He is going to send the XLSX file over so I can get an idea of what's going on with the data. This workbook has grown quite a bit from what I have been told. I plan on looking at ways of getting the data into access and try to automate some of the reporting. Essentially pulling from a SQL with VBA refreshing everytime the file opens. We will see :)
