Interested in hearing about other job roles

I am currently a project manager, but I think for my next job I'd like to do something different, more of a functional role, and so I'd like to learn about a few different job roles/titles and what is your day-to-day job like? A few that I think I'd be good at and want to learn more about are Business Development, Marketing (various roles), and Analyst - what do these roles entail, what kinds of job duties and responsibilities are involved? Thanks!

Business development, marketing, and analysis are huge areas, encompassing skill sets across spectra from functional to technical, everywhere in between, and they vary by subject area, industry, and seniority. What do you like doing, what do you not like doing? Do you need a team, or are you better working alone? Do you have a software development background? Do you have extensive industry contacts? Can you write well, and under pressure? Are you comfortable taking to complete strangers and convincing them to buy things? Do you watch commercials on tv and criticize them? Are you logical, do you enjoy solving puzzles? Can you become expert in various subject areas in a short period of time (economic theory, population demographic impacts on crime rates, disease progression)? Are you willing to move, can you take a pay cut, do you have any academic experience in BD, marketing, or analysis? All these are factors in any of those jobs. The more details you can provide, the better we can answer your question.

Are you looking to switch industries or stay in the same industry/company? I ask because those will probably have very different day to day's based on where you are working. I always look at what I do well in my current role and what my strengths are outside of the job. Ex: I went into sales after being a server because I loved talking to people and understanding their needs. Bus Dev is kind of like sales I feel !
