Community Highlights



New Blogs Announcement!!!
Modern Analyst has revamped our blogs to provide greater value to you! Two new blog pages have been created. Follow the links below to access the new blog pages or access them directly via our top navigation menu.
You can still access our Original Blog Posts below.
 
Our Community Blog puts a different spin on our original blog page. Instead of each community member creating a separate blog, all community members have the opportunity to contribute their very own blog posts to a single community blog. This provides greater benefit to both the bloggers and readers. Some of these benefits are:
  • Viewers can RSS the Community Blog by a specific blog post author
  • Many members contributing to a single blog attracts more viewers, increasing the readership for all bloggers
  • Blog contributors can give more time and attention to each blog post since no single blogger has to provide continuous content to keep the blog fresh
  • The Community Blog gives bloggers the opportunity to make a name and brand for themselves in the business analysis profession
  • Community Blog contributors may be extended an invitation to become a blogger for the Modern Analyst blog
Our Modern Analyst Blog features blog posts from pre-selected Modern Analyst bloggers, many of which are influential contributors that are shaping the business analysis profession. In addition, the most intersting and insightful Community Blog posts are selected by the Modern Analyst team to be added to the Modern Analyst Blog.
 
While our original blogs and blog posts will remain available for viewing, community members will only be able to contribute new blog posts to the Community Blog. The Community Blog and Modern Analyst Blog have been seeded with blog posts from the original blog page.

Systems Analyst in the list of Best Careers 2007

Jun 23

In their “Best Careers 2007” report, US News and World Report lists 25 professions that will continue to grow in demand.


With the advent of outsourcing, it is not surprising that the software engineer or web developer professions are NOT on the list...

...however, systems analyst is.


On of the most interesting quotes form this report is that the systems analyst "is among the most offshore-resistant computer-related careers".

Another interesting observation is that the majority of the 25 careers are high-touch/social occupations. In the US, we continue to see a trend of increased demand for careers which requires social interaction skills. Business Systems Analyst is one of them.

A couple more items of from the report about the Systems Analyst:

  • Median pay: $70,438
  • Job Market outlook: A
  • Attainability: A
  • Quality of Life: B
  • Prestige: B

If you are contemplating starting your career as a systems analyst you might also find the following resources useful:
