[@moojoo201]

I would like to thank both BA Blocks and Rishi for sharing this awesome video with us. I watched it at least 3-4 times before my interview and I am happy to let you know that I got selected for the job!! The way Rishi framed his answers not only helped me in answering my questions for the interview, but it has opened up a whole new perspective within me. It has transformed how I look at my work and my career progression. I will be forever grateful to you both!. thank you

[@satakshiguha]

This video has consistently been my cheat sheet before interviews. I made sure to watch this at least once before going into all my BA interviews and guess what? I heard back from the first company I had interviewed for few weeks ago and I got the job! I made sure to structure my answers just as Rishi did and I could feel how well received my response was. Thank you team!

[@BABLOCKS]

Wow! Congrats Satakshi.

[@kyohanes3411]

do you work from home as BA? also how much is the salary?

[@BABLOCKS]

Yes, many BAs work from home. Especially now. Salaries vary widely depending on location, seniority, and specialization.

[@abhayag0]

​@@BABLOCKS That's great, I want to know that typically how many years of experience a business analyst should have to be experienced enough to lead business projects

[@georgeallwell5522]

Watched this one for a refresher before an interview and was offered the job on the spot.. thank you nice structure to your answers. very helpful.

[@BABLOCKS]

Wow. Congratulations George. So glad to see that this video made such a big impact.

[@masudurrahman_official]

That’s what I’m gonna do as well, I’ve an interview coming up on Tuesday with Deloitte!

[@georgeallwell5522]

@@BABLOCKS Your welcome, I am back after 2 years to use this video to prepare for another interview.

[@BABLOCKS]

Welcome back George! And good luck 🤞

[@ayushapoorva]

Can I say that this is the most accurate BA interview questions you'll face except few company specific stuff. Absolute gold on KZbin!

[@Gau_ri21]

It's so nice and clean to have this heard. Thanks to Rishi and Emal for coming forward and sharing it with all of us. :)

[@snehakhandare]

Really loved the content, the structure, and the organization, but do not use too many "uh" s in the conversation. If you notice the Interviewer's "uh" blended in the sentence, but the interviewee's "uh"s were more pronounced which reflects lower levels of confidence. I believe he has written down the notes on his screen and is using it as a reference (love that trick, always helps) to frame his sentences. The way I removed filler words from my conversation was to reduce my speed of speaking. (Speed of thinking > speed of speaking) Using this comparison you will be able to reduce fillers from your sentence.

[@BABLOCKS]

All very good tips. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Sneha.

[@Renulakra1]

I loved his answers. I hv been working as a BA and to be so insightful and thoughtful in his answers shows his maturity and excellence of his work style. I would hire this guy anytime without a doubt

[@BABLOCKS]

Agreed. He is a tried and true professional and it shows. Thanks for the encouraging comment Renu.

[@pmpbypratibha4397]

Can we please bring Rishi Back for more interview sessions.

[@abhayag0]

Thank you for this wonderful interview between both of you, this was really a needed one. I think many BA will definitely benefit there careers with this single video.

[@malpijerk]

This was a fabulous interview. He nailed it perfectly. I would hire him at a heartbeat.

[@mrunal1186]

[@kennethlorenzg]

Watched this before my Interview in the next few days for a BA position. This is very helpful. Thanks for the video!

[@shaunakshaunak8488]

Very insightful and professional. Rishi's responses were direct and concise.

[@rrubystar]

I love all Rishi's responses, but loved his priorisation techniques responses the most. Very apt.

[@sunny_side_up8]

I've been following your channel for quite some months..your content and videos are sooo good...I've learnt a lot about BA and things are explained in such a practical way that one can easily visualise how actually it happens. Thanx a lot for great informative channel.

Brilliant Discussion

[@dev20256]

one interview for fresher or those who want to become BA .Please .

[@sheetalchatse2454]

Where students seeking for BA profile can find jobs. Which plateform

[@adeshnaudiyal572]

Really great insights, as a fresher i loved the way he explained every situation. Really helped me to answer various questions based on these situations. Thanks a ton ❤️

[@spardha.gautam]

Hi, great video, if a similar mock interview is available for the junior-mid level it would love to view that.

[@BABLOCKS]

Yes, interviews for junior and mid level professionals can take a different tone. We'll keep this in mind when searching for good mock interview candidates. Thanks for the suggestion Spardha.

[@xldworld]

Please share if you find it somewhere else

[@nivedhasrinivasan5928]

Looking for the same. Interviews for mid level BAs.

[@anjanaammu5115]

[@GurleenKohli-o8e]

This video is very informative. Thank you for sharing.

[@NavaneethaKrishnanA]

Excellent interview Rishi and Emal. Got to learn many things.

[@Lana-rx6qe]

After listening this interview I understand that it is much easier than to be soft developer or even software tester.

[@BABLOCKS]

Rishi is a seasoned professional with deep knowledge about his domain. Don't let that discourage you. All of us started off with baby steps and worked our way up to this level.

[@abayomiojo7345]

I found this really insightful, particularly with respect to stakeholder management. Weldone BABLOCKS

Hi Pankit, I'll definitely keep my eye out for an articulate BA in that space that can help us understand the domain.

Great interview. Great help for new BA like me.

[@kaizen52071]

Dont want to be a BA but loved the video. Really insightful and informative interview. Nice work!! Cheers

[@07ankie]

As per my experience, a BA role is more about expressing, way of communicating, ur facial expressions, ur first instinct when you hear the question, You can be a software developer by learning tech. But u become BA with experience and analysis, IQ thing is what u r born with.

[@Cricket_lovers22]

I have not been seen this kind of vedios its so very helpful for every one can you work on substitle

Thanks Surendra. Glad to see that you liked the video.

thanks for the video 🙏

[@BABLOCKS]

You're very welcome sahil

[@nomadicakshay6880]

19:40 if one does not have a software development (coding) background, then how to defend your candidature for BA role ? please comment any one

[@dorcasoziomaamah621]

You dont need coding to become a digital business analyst

[@BABLOCKS]

There are many BA roles that do not require a developmet background. Make sure you look for roles that are more oriented toward requirements management and process analysis than toward systems analysis.

[@RohitSingh-lr7fn]

Most of the things have gone over my head but it is a very informative video.

[@BABLOCKS]

I hope this doesn't discourage you. Rishi has deep domain knowledge in the area he works in. Once you choose a domain to specialize in, you'll be able to speak with the same level of fluency in your area. It's a natural part of becoming an expert.

[@guysergekimou1770]

Nice interview, I have learned a lot. Thanks.

[@FranEJ]

Damn Rishi is a smart guy. Very easy to understand too

[@santanusircar1621]

Very good clarity of thought. Really useful piece :)

[@youvegotmail9385]

This needs to be transcripted. It's gold.

[@chaitalibarot9205]

I started browsing on KZbin, seeking help and answers to learn and prepare myself for a cash management and capital market interview if my resume gets selected for the role. This video is definitely very helpful. But anyone here, if they have experience working as a Business Analyst in the capital market and cash management, please share any insights you have . I want to be very well prepared

[@BABLOCKS]

Good luck with the interview !

[@lynnl2039]

I will have a BA interview next week. This is a great video. Thanks a lot for sharing. The questions and answers are both excellent!

[@BABLOCKS]

Good luck with the interview!

[@TheMak1529]

Great Interview.....

[@rafaelmena218]

@bablocks have you considered havimg a mock for salesforce business analysts???

[@BABLOCKS]

We have some salesforce BA related interviews coming up. These will be more of an expert interview rather than a "mock interview".

[@Thisisit2714]

Where should I start m looking to work as ba, starting interviews very nervous

[@pratss9957]

How does a BA keep the work organized and streamlined?

[@BABLOCKS]

Hi Prats, There are many good strategies for this, but largely depends on the specific issues that are in the way of the BA from achieving this. We'll keep this quesion on our list of considerations for a future video.

[@o.o.6854]

Great Interview insight

[@bhuppi13]

Just wondering, always looking at the right side of the screen with pauses when speaking, doesn't it come off as something undesirable?

[@BABLOCKS]

Breaking eye contact to look in a different direction usually indicates that the person is thinking and choosing their words carefully to synthesize a thoughtful answer to the question.

[@gujaratiincanada2464]

This is amazing

[@dhrubakhadka6935]

Can anyone help me why I need to study business analytics

[@nkatekoma]

Thank you for this 👏🏾😀😀

[@WEGOHIGH9108]

Emal, cool stuff! Could you do one mock for Juniors/less than 2 year experience

[@alanmanoj5930]

How should a fresher for this role answer the first question ❓

[@dharas4114]

what about if youre in a meeting with cross teams and 2 different teams (or more) both have a priority at the same level what do you do then ho wdo you prioritize ?

[@BABLOCKS]

Priority can never be at the same level. If both your stakeholders are vying for their problem to be solved first, then you and your PM must present the decision to the management group funding the project and ask them to prioritize.

[@indemable]

Informative👍

[@vishakhapatil8483]

This video was really helpful👍☺️

[@n_vibgyor]

This looks real, i am sure he is real...for last question he fumbled though...but over all he is very good..want to see some enthusiasm

Waiting for the next mock interview from Rishi and Emal

Hy nazmul can I ask you a question- can I do business analytics course to become bussnies analyst

[@pratss9957]

This is the best interview help.

[@BABLOCKS]

Happy to see that the video is helpful. Thanks for the comment.

[@aliyuprof]

Really learned alot

[@johnnyairplane2896]

Why is the interviewer talking more than the the guy being interviewed

[@playwithvihaan7446]

Do we have to complete a certification to add more credibility and weightage as a BA in Capital Market?

[@BABLOCKS]

Certifications definitely do add credibility but they are not a hard requirement to do the job of an analyst.

[@helentmg7912]

I am currently working in research department in investment banking. I am from business management background done b com and MBA in finance. Can i pursue business analyst course in future?

[@BABLOCKS]

Absolutely. The BA profession is full of professionals with business backgrounds. You should consider specializing in a domain that is a good fit for your bcomm/MBA. There are plenty of BA roles that require a background in finance.

[@daveraj1622]

Can you explain the scenario of surviliance team situation?

[@BABLOCKS]

Hi Dave, thanks for the request. It may take a while before we're able to produce such specific domain related content.

[@Datits5190]

The interview was too smooth )

[@BharatMataKiJaiii]

I knew a Rishi Poptani from school.. Not sure if he is the same one.

[@balavenkataraghavan4708]

can you do one in healthcare domain please

[@BABLOCKS]

Hi Bala, I'll put this on the list of future videos and see if a good healthcare BA professional is out there that would be willing to do an interview.

[@starish9715]

Sir is bussnies analytics course is good to become bussnies analyst

[@BABLOCKS]

Business analytics and business analysis are two fairly distinct careers. Pls watch our video on business analysis vs business analytics to learn about these careers kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHiUpYyiYsiLhsU

[@joshuz101]

I have a bachelors in computer science and I am a BA - what would be a good Masters to do to progress career-wise? Something business related?

[@munix9351]

Don't waist your money on masters. Get professional certificates instead . Volunteer with some charities and create a blog based on yout subject.

[@BABLOCKS]

A master's degree is unlikely to contribute significantly to your career as a BA.

[@aw4707]

Please suggest some good colleges in canada to pursue business analyst course.

[@dorcasoziomaamah621]

Canada's focuses more on experience than degree..so an e-learning platform that would teach you from scratch, as well as create a simulated environment where you can apply what you have learnt would be ideal
