Here are things that you can do while doing your bachelors: - Professional qualifications such as CIMA will solidify your knowledge and skills in business management, financial analysis, strategic management, costing, etc. - Doing internships in consulting or any data and analytics related company will help you get additional experience - proficiency in software tools such as MS excel, Visio, JIRA, Power BI, etc. - Online courses/certificates related to business analytics (Udemy, Coursera) - some coding experience will definitely add value (SQL, Java, Python) (these are also available in Udemy or Coursera) After completion of your bachelors with industry experience you can get these certifications which will help you standout: - Certified Business Analysis Professional (CBAP) offered by the International Institute of Business Analysis (IIBA) - PMI Professional in Business Analysis (PMI-PBA) offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI) - Certified Analytics Professional (CAP) offered by INFORMS.

@@chathuralakshan479 there will be an impact on certain software development tasks for sure but everyone will have to adapt. For example AI can automate repetitive tasks in software development, such as code generation, testing, and bug detection. At the same time, there is an increasing demand for engineers with expertise in AI, machine learning, and data science. This is why I said data science will be a better specialization considering the current trend.
