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 Год назад

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 Год назад

Wow! Congrats Satakshi.

@kyohanes3411 Год назад

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

@BABLOCKS Год назад

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

@snehakhandare 2 года назад

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 2 года назад

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

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.

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 2 года назад

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.
