What do you need to do to get a job as a systems analyst?

Question

Analytics

I am a student of the Faculty of Physics in the direction of "Information Systems", all the time I was studying that I would work as a programmer, and now I am freelancing in embedded systems. One year left to study, and then one of the teachers offered me to go to work as a system analyst, before that I had no idea about this profession. After a little googling, I realized that they earn not much less than programmers, and the profession seemed interesting: I like to communicate with people, not sit still, always do something new, during my studies I got used to a lot of information and a lot of people passing through me , and this is comfortable for me and I'm afraid that if I get a job as a programmer, this will not happen, but it seemed to me that CA does this all the time. Of course, I have one minus, I don’t like to sit for a long time for something boring, but I'm ready to overpower myself. I don't want to give up programming either. So the question is, what do I need to master in order to go to an interview? there was one course at the university, but then I was ill for a very long time, and then I passed it just to pass.

Answer 1

Learn systems theory, domain modeling methodologies (IDEF0, IDEF3, DFD, UML, etc.), rules for drafting terms of reference, feasibility studies. Knowledge of probability theory, analytics tools, DataMining, OLAP will not hurt.
