From today, Data Product Owner @ JPMorganChase.

It wasn't luck. It wasn't a "connection." It wasn't a random application.

It was a formula: Experience + Skills + CBAP + Communication.

Companies like JPMC don't hire "people." 

They hire solutions. I am here to solve problems.

Time to get to work.

Winter is coming.

I was born in Azerbaijan. I live in Poland. 

I moved abroad at 19. Alone. No "relocation package."
No HR hand-holding.

I figured out:
- Complex tax systems in 3 different jurisdictions.
- Rental contracts in languages I didn't speak.
- Immigration laws that change every year.

When you are an immigrant, "problem-solving" isn't a soft skill on your CV. It is the difference between having a roof over your head and being homeless.

A crisis is coming (2026-2027) ?
The era of easy money is gone. The era of "quiet quitting" is dead.

If you are a Junior or a mid-level employee complaining about "Work-Life Balance" right now... You are playing a dangerous game.

Your strategy for this year should be simple:
- Keep Cash
- Be useful
- Outwork Everyone

You cannot control the global economy.

Everyone is crying about "Work-Life Balance" today. 

But your pockets are empty.

When I left my country at 19, I didn't look for "balance." I looked for SURVIVAL. Taxes. Rent. Docs. Language barriers. 

If you are in your 20s: Forget balance. Focus on QUANTITY. 
Work more. Fail more. Learn more.

Balance is the trophy you get at the peak of the mountain. 

You are still at the bottom. START CLIMBING.

Feedback from the PASHA Insurance OJSC talent development team about my Business Analysis training:

"The topics, methodologies and practical approaches you presented within the training allowed the participants to increase their knowledge and skills level. In particular, the clear explanation of the topics and the participant-oriented approach increased the effectiveness of the training. The examples based on real work experience you shared during the training made a significant contribution to the development of our employees' analytical thinking.

The training program was very useful and interesting for the participants, both in content and presentation. At the same time, the interactive format of the training created conditions for more active employee involvement and a clearer understanding of how to apply the learned knowledge in practice. The final projects prepared by employees at the end of the training enabled them to integrate the knowledge they gained into their daily work processes.

We thank you once again for your cooperation and the professionalism you have shown."

Thank you PASHA Insurance OJSC team!

[Təcrübə paylaşımı] 

Oktyabrda Amazondan çıxmaqdan öncə, planlamışdım və Sentyabrda CBAP aldım. İndi çox rahat intervyu dəvətləri CBAP görə gəlir. 

Polşadaki finance və IT bazarı dəyişir, son 6 aydər bunu araşdırıram. Artıq hamı AI görə Business Analyst, Product Owner, Data Analyst kimi vəzifələrə daha çox götürürlər. Sadə operations işlərə indi 7500-11000 PLN verirlər. Revolut isə Product Owner vəzifəsinə 25000-40000 PLN arası verir aylıq.

Əvvəl bu işlər City, JPMorgan, HSBC, Revolut kimi şirkətlərdə az idi, indi çoxdur və arta gedir. Yəni ki dostlar, bacardıqca sertifikat və CV hazırlayıb applylar edin. 

Düzdü əvvələ baxanda çətindir, amma indi daha rahatdır bunlar olduqda. Çox rahat intervyu dəvəti də gəlir.

I see people reading 50 books on "Business Strategy." 

I see people taking their 3rd Master's degree. 

I see people waiting for the "Perfect Idea."

Stop.

If you want to dominate in 2026, you don't need a degree. You need a Customer.

My advice? Start a business. ANY business.
- Traditional (Sell coffee).
- Consulting (Sell your advice).
- Digital (Sell a template).
- Service (Walk dogs).

It doesn't matter what it is. Because the moment you ask a stranger for money, your real education begins.

A corporate job teaches you one tiny skill in a safe bubble. Starting a business teaches you everything in the wild.

You will learn 2x more in 3 months of failing at business than in 4 years of studying business.

Stop theorising. Start building. The market is the best teacher in the world. And class is in session.

My inbox is full of recruiters.

Yours is empty. What's the difference?

I don't write "what I know." 
I write "what I DID."

Wrong CV: "I know SQL. I used Jira." (Nobody cares). 
Right CV: "Cut operational costs by 15% using SQL analysis." (BOOM).

Companies don't hire tools. 

They hire RESULTS. 
Are you a result? Or are you a cost?

Fix this, and they will email you tomorrow.

Build skills, get certifications, learn, grow.

Because one day, in the morning, you can be just LAID OFF.

"I spent 6 hours perfecting this BPMN diagram."

Stakeholder reaction: "It looks complicated." Result: No sign-off.

Next day: I drew 3 boxes on a whiteboard. "Input -> Process -> Output"

Stakeholder reaction: "Oh, I get it now. Approved."

Old approach: Maximize output (pretty charts). New approach: Maximize outcome (understanding).

6 hours < 3 minutes.

Complexity is a sign of laziness. Simplicity is a sign of mastery.

If you can't explain it on a napkin, you don't understand it.

ps: Nobody pays you for how hard you work. They pay you for how clearly you think.

- 8 weeks of transformation
- 2500 questions
- 8.5 video content and meetings
- 1-1 support and explanations
- ECBA/CBAP guaranteed

Google references my own Reddit.

The fastest pass for CBAP in the world. In just 2 weeks.

Others 1 month - Nijat in 2 weeks

I start CBAP group in February. 

And from February, IIBA increases its prices.

If you want to get certified, buy a membership before the price increase!

ATTENTION!

Price increase on 3 February! Renew membership if you need it this year!

Winter is here. And so are new prices. IIBA just announced they are raising membership fees. Date: February 3, 2026. The Reason: "Economic conditions"

Open article: ⚠️ IIBA Price Hike Incoming (Read Before Feb 3) by Nijat HAJIYEV CBAP™, PMP® • 2 min read

⚠️ IIBA Price Hike Incoming (Read Before Feb 3)

The CV era is over, people should be hired based on real experience or potential. 

Not PDF.

This is how I was hired.

nobody cares about name

i think Mustafa Suleyman did nothing noticeable and practical, valuable in Microsoft AI. 

instead he says the next ACI is when AI go from 100k to 1m. 

soo? does ai do that? no.

instead let's change name office:)

Poland's mortgage interest rate decreased after a sharp increase in 2022-2023. It will further go down.

Poland's rent prices are finally cooling down.

Rental Growth is Stabilizing as Homeownership Becomes More Accessible

If you want to earn 15%-25% more, get CBAP certified

New group starts in February 🔥

Poland is building a new airport, and the mega-airport is set to open in 2032.
