Previous days I was going through some portals, I found an Interesting article regarding career as a Business Analyst. Although the Article was not written being in Pakistani Corporate context but still helpful for the people want to join the career as a Business Analyst. Josiah Pradhan, finance lead, Europe, at One HSBC, explains the qualities you'll need to succeed in this position – and why it's a role worth striving for. The role of a business analyst may vary from company to company, but in each case the main task is to provide information that helps senior managers to make key decisions. Business analysts need to differentiate between financial reporting and management information.

The Editor, Time Magazine Dear Editor, I recently returned from a charitable trip to Pakistan, whereby I visited both Karachi and Islamabad. I spoke with several universities, key businesses, prominent business leaders and several religious people   from all generations…. On the day I returned to the office, someone had placed your magazine (January 16, 2012), on my desk. I read with interest your article on Karachi and the city in doom. For a person to have just returned from the very same place that your magazine described was somewhat bizarre, so I read with great detail your  writer (Andrew Marshall’s) account. Let me begin by saying that I often flick through your magazine and find the articles of great interest, but on this particular day and this particular article, I found certain comments to be both one sided and indeed very negative. I say that because I saw a different Pakistan to what was portrayed in your article. I do not and will not comment on the p...
