I have two russian friends moved from IT to the business side. One of them did in 2009, left an old position and on the day to start in the new position only to find out the new head count had been eliminated so she was left dangling. It was eventually resolved half a year later and she has done quite well since then, doing modeling work in analytics on the risk(credit/market) side. The other one had a math PHD and both were strong chess players and could beat living *hit out of me, lol. We had a lot of talks about Russia and China and I was surprised a lot of things I had seen in China were copied from Russia.

I am not young at all. I am simply not very observant. 政治学习啦，学生军训啦 when I mentioned to them, they were like, "really? we did that too"

突然有一天告诉大家他转到business了。大家都很替他高兴，于是详细询问起来。
原来他转成了business analyst, 干的事情就是在码工和business部门之间的传话筒，现在看来和scrum master有很大重叠。当时组里一个白人老头很唐突的问，这算是promote还是demote?
多年后，我觉得他这个所谓"转business"就是被忽悠了。
