Business Analyst Interview Question

Now that the job market is booming and there are a lot of interviews happening, I thought of compiling the business analyst interview question list.

Note: This list is not exhaustive and must be used at the final stage of preparation.

Most of these questions were directed at me during my years of being interviewed. If you know the answers to all of these, then you should be good 😊 You can also use this list to learn about BA topics
