Reality check
Pure junior BA openings can be limited compared to dev/QA roles. A common route is evolving from another role (QA, support, operations, domain specialist) into BA.
If your goal is to enter software in the most direct way, QA or frontend tends to be faster. If you have strong domain knowledge and communication skills, BA becomes a long-term, sustainable option.
