He was my classmate in Bachelor in computer Engineering good way to meet after 16 years
Can I say that this is the most accurate BA interview questions you'll face except few company specific stuff. Absolute gold on RUclips!
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!
Wow! Congrats Satakshi.
do you work from home as BA? also how much is the salary?
Yes, many BAs work from home. Especially now. Salaries vary widely depending on location, seniority, and specialization.

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.
All very good tips. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Sneha.
Can we please bring Rishi Back for more interview sessions.
This was a fabulous interview. He nailed it perfectly. I would hire him at a heartbeat.
good
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. :)
great video . this helps a lot of us who are willing to start out and get direction to a BA role. Rishi has massive experience which is shown in the answers . great job guys
😄
Very insightful and professional. Rishi's responses were direct and concise.
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
one interview for fresher or those who want to become BA .Please .
Where students seeking for BA profile can find jobs. Which plateform
Watched this before my Interview in the next few days for a BA position. This is very helpful. Thanks for the video!
I love all Rishi's responses, but loved his priorisation techniques responses the most. Very apt.
I have an interview in a few days, Thank you for this wonderful post.
You're welcome Zone. I hope the interview went well.
can you please give some detail, how was interview went ?
One of the best interviews :) Rishi has responded so smoothly. I really like the response on conflict management.
Brilliant Discussion
Best interview video of ba I have ever watched.
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 ❤️
,
After listening this interview I understand that it is much easier than to be soft developer or even software tester.
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.
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.
This is one of the best interview videos. Great insight and learnings :) Thanks for the wonderful post!
Thank you for the kind words Niroopa. Glad you found this helpful.
Wow! I want to be BA more than ever after watching this video.
I would hire him. Great answers. Confident person
This was a good Topic To choose
This was really insightful and has helped me alot. Thank you
Simply Superb! Such interview is really helpful to know about the market, competition and BA Interview process. Appreciate the work you have done in this domain. Keep it Up! Thanks.
Excellent interview Rishi and Emal. Got to learn many things.
Thank you so much for this video. Its very helpful for new roll of business analyst
Very good interview each statement has sense of clarity from both parties
This video is very informative. Thank you for sharing.
Damn Rishi is a smart guy. Very easy to understand too
1:11 love this momment
really interesting format... and very knowledgeable and experienced guest, clearly!
Thank you Piyush.
Nice to see you Rishi on RUclips. Missing good old days from TCS :)
I’ve seen it the first time it came out 2 years ago, and now it came in to my feed again realizing i’m working on ibor implementation as well 😅
Nicely put up his answer and fairly replied for all questions
Great interview. Great help for new BA like me.
Thanks for the upload. Really helpful
Thank you
Really great content, This will definitely help me for my upcoming interviews.
This needs to be transcripted. It's gold.
Most of the things have gone over my head but it is a very informative video.
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.
Great Interview insight
Why is the interviewer talking more than the the guy being interviewed
This is amazing
Great Interview!!!
Very great interview. It's very helpful.
Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it Ayomide.
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!
Good luck with the interview!
Informative👍
can you please make a mock interview video for healthcare business analyst?
Hi Pankit, I'll definitely keep my eye out for an articulate BA in that space that can help us understand the domain.
@@BABLOCKS thank you very much. Looking forward to it.
Dont want to be a BA but loved the video. Really insightful and informative interview. Nice work!! Cheers
This is the best interview help.
Happy to see that the video is helpful. Thanks for the comment.
Nice interview, I have learned a lot. Thanks.
Very good clarity of thought. Really useful piece :)
thanks for the video 🙏
You're very welcome sahil
The interview was too smooth )
thanks
You're welcome.
How does a BA keep the work organized and streamlined?
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.
wow great interview nice insights😊
Thank you for this 👏🏾😀😀
Emal, cool stuff! Could you do one mock for Juniors/less than 2 year experience
Waiting for the next mock interview from Rishi and Emal
Follow-up with Rish coming soon. It won't be a mock interview, but it will certainly be a valuable conversation. Stay tuned!
Just wondering, always looking at the right side of the screen with pauses when speaking, doesn't it come off as something undesirable?
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.
Can anyone help me why I need to study business analytics
@bablocks have you considered havimg a mock for salesforce business analysts???
We have some salesforce BA related interviews coming up. These will be more of an expert interview rather than a "mock interview".
Can you please do STAR Model Business Analyst interview 🙏
Very informative
Great
very informative and helpful. keep the tempo guys!
I knew a Rishi Poptani from school.. Not sure if he is the same one.
I am a new BA trainee. Just concern about the fact that I need to know whom I talking to and how much I want to deliver in my speech.
Hy nazmul can I ask you a question- can I do business analytics course to become bussnies analyst
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 ?
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.
I felt like the interviewer was having a harder time than the interviewee
Conducting interviews certainly has it's difficulties as well. Hope you found the video helpful.
Where should I start m looking to work as ba, starting interviews very nervous
How should a fresher for this role answer the first question ❓
I enjoyed this mock interview session. I will be incorporating some of it into developing my CV story
Please post more
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?
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.
the answers are good, but it seems that Rishi did not always accurately answer the question asked, for example, the question was about how to deal with the fact that stakeholders have a very high level requirements, but they have no idea what they need technically, Rishi perfectly described the techniques of prioritization, but did not answer the question asked.
The question was how to deal with stakeholders that don’t have clarity on their requirements and/or priorities. He’s answered it by talking about brainstorming with stakeholders and then refinement of the input they provide.
can you do one in healthcare domain please
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.
I have experience of 7 years in capital market domain. But I want to become business analyst on IT software for investment banking.
Please suggest from where to start?
Can you explain the scenario of surviliance team situation?
Hi Dave, thanks for the request. It may take a while before we're able to produce such specific domain related content.
Is this a mock interview,?
Yes Manojsen, this is a mock interview with one of our community members. Find out more about our community here: bablocks.com/membership/?ref=2
Is basic BA certification course essential to get your 1st BA job?. This is with over 20 years of core Finance(Specialism FP&A) experience
Hi Archana,
It can definitely help you understand the profession and speak more intelligently in interviews, but a course is not mandatory.
I guess my problem is that, in general, I'm basically told what to do, and I do it. Then interviewers ask me how do you deal with conflicting requirements, etc. Well, I don't have any specific examples, because people tell me what they want and I develop specs based on that. Which, to me, is as it should be anyway. If the organisation doesn't know what it wants, why should it be my responsibility to sort it out?
There likely isn't much "analysis" taking place. Take a look at an older video on this channel called "Become an Analyst". This may help clarify the role of a BA ruclips.net/video/VoZx9CdbFmo/видео.html
@@BABLOCKS Good video that. Makes sense. But I see conflicting requirements and the degree of analysis being done as two different things. Just because requirements don't conflict, doesn't mean there isn't a lot of work going into solution analysis/design/specification.
Do we have to complete a certification to add more credibility and weightage as a BA in Capital Market?
Certifications definitely do add credibility but they are not a hard requirement to do the job of an analyst.
The interviewer seemed more nervous than the interviewee 😅
Do these sort of generic questions get really asked In interviews.. I always get bombarded with tough domain and technical questions in an interview, which tests my knowledge in finance and technology
Yes, there are many companies that take a behavioral interview approach when they want to test someone's ability to navigate their political environments. It all depends on the needs of the interviewers organization.
Please suggest some good colleges in canada to pursue business analyst course.
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
Sir is bussnies analytics course is good to become bussnies analyst
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 ruclips.net/video/vG1tYl-cXPc/видео.html
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
You dont need coding to become a digital business analyst
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.
Is Solutions Analyst same as System Analyst / Business Analyst?
Yes, that is one of the many names that a business analyst can go by. We have a full article talking about the term "solution architect" and how that relates to business analysis inside our community: members.bablocks.com/posts/functional-architecture-vs-technical-architecture-where-does-the-ba-fit-in
@@BABLOCKS Thanks for the reply
Now I know why they never hire me lol
This is a very funny comment. But realistically, you can develop your own capabilities to be as good as Rishi.
Tell me about yourself. Not tell me about your most recent project. Do you think the first answer was correctly answered ? Question to the interviewer and enthusiasts.
Whenever there is a interview for a experienced business analyst, it is always expected that BA's shall explain their working experience in projects at the very beginning of interview. I have been thru many interviews and have experienced the same.
@@bhupeshdutt4669 I do not subscribe to this thought. Simply because the question states - Tell me about yourself. If the question is Explain your most recent project then explaining the project details will be within the context. The problem is most people struggle in explaining about themselves and that’s why they come forward with their project explanation which so temporary. Peace!
If anything, the reply just shows the guy’s experience even more. He looks beyond the literal meaning of the question and answers on point. Why would any interviewer be interested in someone outside of what they can contribute to a role anyway? You don’t start with where you were born or what your family background is… no one really cares. His answer is perfect and sets the stage for further questions. This isn’t reality tv.
Interviewer is too easy on interviewee
There were definitely some softball questions here, but interviewers will sometimes ask softball questions for a good reason. Find out why by joining our community and watching the follow-up video.

The candidate is looking for mature intelligent calm and confident than the interviewer :) But itna boring insaan hai,,, If i would have been his interviewer I would have sent my colleague to take the rest of it... :;p
Rishi is a true professional.
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.
Wow. Congratulations George. So glad to see that this video made such a big impact.
That’s what I’m gonna do as well, I’ve an interview coming up on Tuesday with Deloitte!
@@BABLOCKS Your welcome, I am back after 2 years to use this video to prepare for another interview.
Welcome back George! And good luck 🤞
Hi, great video, if a similar mock interview is available for the junior-mid level it would love to view that.
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.
Please share if you find it somewhere else
Looking for the same. Interviews for mid level BAs.
yes looking for the same..
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.
You're very welcome Bhagyashree.
