Aswin’s Answer

Data Analysts, Scientists, Engineer, Operations Research Analyst are all to a large extent solving the same problem. Looking at data to help make decisions. The boundaries continue to blur between these roles and we expect new category of Designations to come in near future. To answer the question though, Operations Research Analysts to a large extent looks at finding an optimal solution for a problem. "Optimal" and "solution" are the key (meaning forecasting, or prediction do not really come under this at this moment)

Georgette’s Answer

You would have to analyze data (numbers) and give advice to top management on the status of things depending on your analysis or calculations. You have to like mathematics and have good communication skills. I hope that I answered your question.
Thank you comment icon Thank you so much for your answer! Though, I wonder, do operation research analysts prefer Python or R as a tool? Minh
Thank you comment icon Now that question I am not able to answer, but what you can do is to research in LinkedIn who has the role that you are interested in and ask them to help you out with that question. Take care Minh. Georgette A. Diab
