I am a hardcore banker (hardcore meaning, I am a Branch Head in a Branch in Public sector bank. Total work experience 8 yrs
I had been thinking ways to transition from my career to BA.
Many guys told me to fake my entire experience as a BA. I did it and got many interview calls as well. But the fear to lose it all in one go, kept me away from taking such interviews after a while.
I have learnt whatever there was to learn for a BA to get hired. But I don't want to do it faking my experience.
Also in recent days, I have started thinking that if I want to transition from my career, then why not transition to PM rather than a BA.
I am open to learn new things, can work hard and get some dummy projects done as well in my free time. I want to build my credibility and justify the real work experience I have in my transitioning role.
If anyone of you had been in my shoes, or would like to assist me with a roadmap, I would be very glad to have inputs.
Also please tell me all the red flags I can avoid in my journey, and what things can help me if I consider them from the beginning.
