This #BusinesAnalyst #BadAssBA conversation has surfaced topics like #BurnOut
#ImposterSyndrom and all the things we struggle with at work.
This is not just for BAs, this community – this tribe, is for all of us who are curious, who want to figure out where we fit and what to do, how to take care of ourselves.
Here’s a question from our community: For someone who feels burned out, stuck, or quietly curious about what else is possible – what’s one low-risk step they can take without blowing up their career?
The consistent answer wasn’t “make a leap.”
It was:
🍌Side projects
🍌Community involvement
🍌Cross-functional work
🍌Volunteering
🍌Saying yes to adjacent opportunities before changing anything official
Communities came up again and again – not as networking theatres, but as preview windows.
When you listen to people already doing the work:
You hear what their days are actually like
🍩What energises them
🍩What drains them
🍩Where the gaps really are
It’s like shadowing a role without asking permission or changing your job title.
Paul Ginsberg shared his story about going to a first user group as a low-risk experiment.
👎🏻Worst case?
One awkward evening and nobody remembers you.
👍🏻Best case?
A handful of connections that quietly shape the next decade of your career.
Not every experiment works. Some will be duds.
But even that teaches you something – about what fits and what doesn’t.
You don’t need a grand plan.
You just need enough movement to create signal.
