Business analyst duties vary from company to company, but there are many questions you will inevitably hear when interviewing for this position. Overall, a business analyst is someone who helps organisations improve their processes and make the most profitable business decisions through data analysis and insights. An interviewer is looking for evidence of problem-solving, communication, critical thinking, negotiating, technical and analytical skills.
Here are three of the top business analyst questions and tips on how to answer them:
How to answer: Interviewers ask this to determine whether or not an applicant understands the skills and qualities necessary for success in the role. Your answer should include examples of both hard and soft skills (strong aptitude for numbers, analytical skills, clear communication, problem-solving, etc.) and mirror the requirements listed in the job description.
How to answer: Your response to this question is intended to show the interviewer how self-motivated and driven you are. An applicant who takes initiative outside of the workplace to improve their skills will leave a lasting impression. Include everything from reading the news each morning to attending conferences.
How to answer: The hiring manager asks this to get a feel for your overall understanding of the analysis planning process. When answering, don't just list projects and processes. Instead, discuss the types of opportunities you might create and let the interviewer know you are able to customise your approach to suit individual projects.

Hmm, I disagree with the last answer. I'd start with the question regarding the end use. Sometimes a client thinks that the rock is the solution to the problem with out knowing all the options available to them. It could be that what they're really looking for is a door stop. Less

Why do you want to make a rock? What for?
↳
How will you put this rock to use

Sorry if ( count == 3) { //for every 4
↳
Why not: count=0 def fooBar(): global count count = count+1 if count==0: print('bar ',count) elif(count%4 == 0): print('foo ',count) else: print('bar ',count) fooBar() Less
↳
You can add a while loop to make it run a certain number of times. Be careful in python not to exceed the maximum recursion depth which I believe is around 1000. count=0 def fooBar(): global count count = count+1 if count==0: print('bar ',count) while count < 999: return fooBar() elif(count%4 == 0): print('foo ',count) while count < 999: return fooBar() else: print('bar ',count) while count < 999: return fooBar() fooBar() Less

I think there is enough information. We know from the previous question, their programming rights and contest cost 9Bn. Maybe they'd increase with the Hulu subscription. But assuming they stay the same, the business can last 30 months. Hulu has 50 M subscribers, adoption rate is 20% So, 10 million customers will sign up for this service Subscription fee is 2 per customer per month 2X12= 24 per year 24X10M= 240M in subscription fees per year Ad revenue is 3 per customer per month 3X12=36 per year 36X10M= 360M in ad revenue per year 240M+360M=600M in total revenue from Hulu partnership On a per month basis revenue from Hulu is 50M 750M in costs per month We know that once they reach 75M customers, they stop making a profit, and only break even. This is in month 25 Considering the monthly costs of 750M and the 50M in Hulu subscription revenue, we knows that once their revenue is 700M, they’ll no longer be making a profit. When their monthly revenue is 700M, they have 70M customers You can also set up an equation to determine the period when they’ll no longer net a profit X+50M=750M X=700M They’ll have 70M customers in month 30th So, the business can last until month 30th Less

How do you calculate that they will have 70m customers in month 30
↳
Doesn't seem to be enough data here.... Time period? Costs?

Hi, Can you please tell me how long it take to get the interview results. My recruiter initially told 24 hrs. Now it's been 3 days and no reply. Thanks! Less
↳
I think if you haven't heard back within 24 hrs, it's a rejection :(
↳
What was the turn around time for you?
↳
They would likely do it after the 2nd interview. It is all done on site.
↳
Hey, i have my Skype interview tomorrow, if they choose to pursue me further, when would they administer the drug test? Less
↳
Was the drug test after you accepted the offer? or was it before? I have already accepted offer had background/reference check, have not heard about drug test yet. Less
↳
Seems like 1) do you get frustrated easily. 2) how quick can you think on your feet. Less
↳
No the point is to figure out that you have to ask for the 50-25 combination in order to have the best possible chances in your 3rd try. Less
↳
On my first go I answered 50,(lower), 25,(higher),38,(nope).It was 42. On my second go I answered 75,(lower),25,(lower),13. It was 11. Less
↳
But still when u r calculation train B is not a rest..we have to consider its relative speed ! Less
↳
2 hrs although I answered in a fluke but it was correct later i understood the concept of relative motion and it became easier. Less
↳
Sorry I am not satisfied with the Answer As according to Relative Velocity Concept The Relative speed of Cow w.r.t B will be (100+30) + 70 = 200kmph and the distance is 200 Km So basically the time taken will be 200/200 = 1 hr. Kindly give solution to this Less
