You will not only become a preferred candidate for positions that require a generic BA, but also able to apply exclusively to Finance positions that your competition don't stand a chance!
Demand the Rates you Deserve
Domain Experts typically have a much higher billing rate compared to generic BA counterparts. You can achieve 100K+ rates much sooner when you have command over a domain area!
