I have 3 options in front of me. 1. Focus on securing a senior role - Senior BA within 2026-2027 2. Look for a job at a more reputable company in a higher paying domain (healthcare, fintech, tech, energy, ect) 3. Job change into a hybridised role in either BA&DA work or BA&PM work where salaries scale higher in long term What is clear to me is the the following area that create value for me and allow me to showcase it. - Push for leadership responsibilities and experience - Take on bigger projects - Create a strong portfolio, CV, Cover letter in preparation for job hunting - Continue to keep up what I have started in 2025

Thank you and very much appreciated I will definitely reach out on domain specific experience when the opportunity arises.
