TM1 Career
Posted: Wed Sep 23, 2020 11:58 am
Hello everyone,
I just started work as a TM1 developer and I have some questions regarding the industry and career path. It is very difficult to find answers through google as TM1 is not very common, so I thought what better way to answer my questions than to communicate with TM1 experts.
Before I start I want to give some background info for my questions.
I am an economics graduate (class 2020) and I was fortunate enough to be offered an opportunity to learn TM1 through a friend of my father who owns the company where I am now interning. I completed all IBM courses required to start working on projects.
The problem is that I am feeling confused. I am told that I am in the Business Intelligence department, but after reading about business intelligence, I realized that TM1 is just a step in the process and I cannot call myself a BI developer because I can develop models in TM1. I know job titles are not important but I feel it provides direction. Many people in linkedin have their job titles as TM1 Developer or TM1 Consultant, does that fall under the umbrella of business intelligence. Also what is the career progression for TM1 (job title wise, please bear with me even if you think it is not important).
Also if I want to progress my career would a CFA help as I have and interest in finance and would like that to be my area of expertise. And what type of postgraduate degrees would be applicable for work in TM1 to advance my knowledge of related areas.
Through some research I devised the following plan, and I would appreciate some feedback:
1. Work a couple of years as a TM1 developer.
2. Pursue a CFA during those couple of years.
3. Obtain a Master's degree in Data Analytics and Intelligence.
4. Work for a few more years until I am around 32 years old.
5. Obtain an MBA.
Sorry if I am all over the place with my thoughts, and thank you for your feedback in advance.
