I work in BFSI and want to understand where data analytics could take my career. What roles should I look at?
There are quite a few options, especially because BFSI professionals already understand financial processes and business data.
Some roles to explore are Financial Data Analyst, Risk Analyst, Business Analyst, Fraud Analyst, Credit Analyst, and BI Analyst. Roles can vary depending on whether your background is in banking, insurance, lending, or financial operations.
I’d focus on Excel, SQL, Power BI, and basic statistics first. Your BFSI knowledge combined with these skills can be a strong advantage when applying for analytics roles.
