Decided to just give it a shot for the name recognition.
When I started, no programming whatsoever. Purely functional (creating functional documents, presenting to clients) which is good I guess, I can transition to business analyst type roles in the future. Am alr planning on leaving in a year once I get my bonus for greener pastures.

Not a correct choice to do that. When you are young, you should gain more technical skills instead. Going BA is a matter of time and its better to do that when a later stage. A technical person can do BA roles, creating functional document but a BA unable to do technical skills. If you stick to this mindset, sooner or later you will be outdated and left with a pool of BA wannabe to fight for job openings. What makes you think that the employer will select you out of the so many BA wannabe?
