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
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 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
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.
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
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
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.
I rarely comment on youtube. Great questions, great scenarios, great answers, great interview. Very informative. Thanks a lot for sharing this interview
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.
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 ❤️
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I started browsing on RUclips, 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
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.
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.
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.
is the last question about having two analyst tag along in scoping out the requirements in the inception stage answered correctly? What should be the correct answer to that question?
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.
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.

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.
@@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
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.

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

All very good tips. Thanks for sharing your thoughts Sneha.
I love all Rishi's responses, but loved his priorisation techniques responses the most. Very apt.
Best interview video of ba I have ever watched.

Brilliant Discussion
one interview for fresher or those who want to become BA .Please .
Where students seeking for BA profile can find jobs. Which plateform
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.
I found this really insightful, particularly with respect to stakeholder management. Weldone BABLOCKS
Thank you Abayomi.
Wow! I want to be BA more than ever after watching this video.
Can we please bring Rishi Back for more interview sessions.
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
This video is very informative. Thank you for sharing.
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.

This was really insightful and has helped me alot. Thank you
really interesting format... and very knowledgeable and experienced guest, clearly!
Thank you Piyush.
Really great content, This will definitely help me for my upcoming interviews.
Nice to see you Rishi on RUclips. Missing good old days from TCS :)
Nicely put up his answer and fairly replied for all questions
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.
Dont want to be a BA but loved the video. Really insightful and informative interview. Nice work!! Cheers
Very good interview each statement has sense of clarity from both parties
Thanks for the upload. Really helpful
Great interview. Great help for new BA like me.
Great Interview!!!
This was a good Topic To choose
Very good clarity of thought. Really useful piece :)
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 😅
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!
Nice interview, I have learned a lot. Thanks.
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.
Very great interview. It's very helpful.
Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed it Ayomide.
Damn Rishi is a smart guy. Very easy to understand too
Great Interview.....

You're very welcome sahil
This needs to be transcripted. It's gold.
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.
wow great interview nice insights😊
Thank you
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.
Great Interview insight
This is amazing
This is the best interview help.
Happy to see that the video is helpful. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you for this 👏🏾😀😀
1:11 love this momment
😂😂
This video was really helpful👍☺️
@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".
Emal, cool stuff! Could you do one mock for Juniors/less than 2 year experience
very informative, thanks :)
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.
Informative👍
Where should I start m looking to work as ba, starting interviews very nervous
I started browsing on RUclips, 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
Good luck with the interview !
nice, just aked to join the community. looking good
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.
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.
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
very informative and helpful. keep the tempo guys!
Really learned alot
The interview was too smooth )
Can anyone help me why I need to study business analytics
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
Follow-up interview with Rishi coming soon. Stay tuned!
I enjoyed this mock interview session. I will be incorporating some of it into developing my CV story
Can you please do STAR Model Business Analyst interview 🙏
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.
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!
How should a fresher for this role answer the first question ❓
is the last question about having two analyst tag along in scoping out the requirements in the inception stage answered correctly? What should be the correct answer to that question?
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.
I don't know but it looked like from first sight, Ayushman Khurana (from Bala) was giving the interview.
Very informative
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
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.
thanks
You're welcome.
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.
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.
But of course an Indian, not stereotyping, but we are all geniuses in our own way 😊
I knew a Rishi Poptani from school.. Not sure if he is the same one.
