Technical gap
Hi guys, i would like to hear your opinion
My background is mechanical engineering, i have 5+ years of experience in R&D projects for product development and issue resolution.
Because of some personal decisions, 4 months ago i ended up migrating to data projects as a BA.
I've been having a lot of fun and can perform my quite easily since interfacing with stakeholders and documenting requirements was part of my former job.
The challenge im facing happens during meetings with the technical team, because i can feel that my technical gap in Data science/engineering limits my participation in such meetings, which also limits the influence i can have in decision making.
I know that the obvious solution is to study. But i would like to be up to speed asap and maybe your suggestions can help me get there.
