What are your current responsibilities working on client assignment?
I'm currently working as a Business Analyst in Open Banking, focusing on facilitating data sharing between major banks and third parties as per government requirements. While it took time for me to understand how Open Banking worked and what I needed to do to assist the team, my whole team was very supportive the whole time and would always take the time to explain things to me. My responsibilities involve grasping Open Banking intricacies, aiding stakeholders, and ensuring effective communication across the board. I've learned that organisational and communication skills are paramount for a Business Analyst, with technical knowledge being an extremely important asset to complement.
Why did you decide to join FDM?
I joined FDM as I understood data analysis from a scholarly point of view but had little understanding of how this would be applicable in real business settings. I was also interested in FDM due to their client base of large banking and financial institutions, consultancies and other major companies, I felt that I could really accelerate my career with FDM.
What impact has FDM had on your career and personal development so far?
The journey with FDM was smooth, with continuous support from a dedicated recruiter who provided valuable feedback at each stage. Joining the change and transformation practice offered relief amidst the competitive job market. Relocating from Melbourne to Sydney for this opportunity has been a rewarding learning experience, which has helped me to grow both personally and professionally.
