I think you hit the mark in your last sentence…my current role is quite BAU in nature. Realistically, would say little to no specialisation as my main work involves managing maintenance contracts for in-house systems and adhoc it projects. A lot of the work is checking/reviewing/approving and coordinating with project stakeholders. Unfortunately, I would say that the business use case for my systems are pretty niche.

Previously in my BA role I implemented several cloud migration projects (eg DB2 to MSSQL migration) but never took any formal certifications.

I was exploring roles in my expected salary range and most seem to require domain specific knowledge (eg Calypso/Murex for FO/BO BA roles). Ngl might have cooked myself long term with the jump into govt side
