If this is you, you are in the right place.
You do great work and your team relies on you, but outside your project no one seems to know your name.
You're not sure what your next level even requires, or what you'd have to show to get there.
You want more from your current job and you're ready to move up, and you don't know what to do first.
A lot of talented business analysts struggle because no one ever taught them how promotions and compensation decisions actually work, or how to position themselves inside those systems. That's the gap I fill.
I've been the one deciding who moves up.
I'm Sergey Shimansky. I've spent 20+ years in business analysis. Before I turned thirty, I was promoted to chief BA and organized a team of twenty BAs across several countries, some of them twice my age. Since then I've led BA teams on global consulting engagements and have sat on the other side of the promotion conversation many times, deciding who was ready for the next level and who wasn't yet. Now I help IT Business Analysts see their career the way hiring managers do, and act on it.
