What is more interesting: working with business requirements or designing solutions (system analysis)?

The choice between working with business requirements and designing solutions depends on personal preferences and strengths.

Working with business requirements involves interacting with clients, understanding their needs, and formulating goals and priorities. This requires communication skills, analytical thinking, and the ability to translate business language into technical tasks.

Solution design (system analysis) focuses on creating architecture, selecting technologies, modeling processes, and optimizing systems. Technical knowledge, the ability to see the big picture, and foresee the consequences of decisions are important here.

These roles often overlap, and a successful system analyst should be able to do both. If you're more interested in interacting with people and understanding business — work with requirements. If you enjoy the technical side and system design — solution design.
