I just graduated past January waith a Bachelor's degree in Computer Systems. I have been offered 2 jobs at the same time. One is as a QA (Quality Assurance) Analyst and another one as a Data Analyst. I am confused which one to go for. QA Position offering me $45,000/Annual and Data Analyst offering $16/hr. I do not wish to do programming which I have to if I decide to work as a QA. Data Analyst Position will not require programming that much and I will be given Trainning for it. Help me decide what should I do. I am expected to start after the holidays.

I am moving from long-time developer to business analyst. The position has been newly created at my company, and I'm trying to help define my new role. We use the straight waterfall development process, and I'm wondering how the job of a business analyst specifically should be adapted to this methodology. I understand the role of BA varies greatly from org to org and particularly depending on which development process a company uses. Which job functions typically associated with a BA are particularly important when using waterfall? Also, which functions typically associated with a BA might be less appropriately handled by this position since we use the waterfall process? A little about my organization that may be important: - We do have a dedicated QA team that currently writes their own use cases which are used as test cases. - For most projects, our "customers" are internal. - Our products are for the most part built for an entire industry, not individual customers though they are sometimes adapted to specific implementations. Any external customers we may pull in would be more representative than comprehensive, as might be the case if we were a contractor or custom development shop.

I recently graduated from college and have been working for a few months in QA as an independent contractor. For a certain software project, I am in charge of writing test scripts, testing new features, organizing and administrating regression testing, and making sure the program works correctly in general. My degree is not in software, but it is in a technical field. I've been making $25/hr, but now they're hiring me on full time. I've never had a full salaried job before and am wondering what salary I should expect. Estimates?

I am graduating in December and am still somewhat unsure of what career field I will choose. I am getting my BS in Applied Economics with minors in Business Administration, Geography and Computer Science. I feel that being a web analyst would be an interesting job because it deals with both business and computers. For the web analyst out there, would you recommend becoming one? Do you enjoy your job? Thanks for any help!
