From engineer to systems analyst, what do you need?

Question

IT education

Greetings to all, I ask for advice, I am ready to listen to all constructive opinions.
I graduated from Baumanka two years ago, now I work as an engineer, or rather, I assemble and test electronic products, a 60k plug. Growth has not been and is not expected. I don’t have enough money catastrophically, and against the background of my acquaintances from the university, I am financially behind.
I want to move into systems analysts. Why? I have programming skills, but they are not deep, I am aware of all new technologies, I graduated from the Baumanka School of Entrepreneurship, I know how business works, and it’s just interesting for me and salaries in this profession are much higher.
What do you need to know, what to expect and where to start the path of development in this direction? I will be grateful to all those who are not indifferent)

Answer 1

To start a career as an analyst, you need to know the features of the solutions being implemented, the basic skills of working with the database, the ability to constantly keep the entire project in mind and analyze which decisions will affect which functionality. Only competent, good and experienced analysts have a salary fork higher than the one you indicated.
In your place, I would look towards QA. There, the set of skills is similar: attentiveness, pickiness, little knowledge of programming + SQL + http (browsers). In QA, further growth is in the direction of autotesting and Team Lead QA, there is already a bigger fork.

Answer 2

An inexperienced systems analyst will earn even less money than an inexperienced engineer.
