The conversation between human and AI assistant.
For the profile of business analyst, which matters more: either technical soundness towards tool i.e. SQL, R, SAS, Excel etc., or experience and knowledge about business?
That makes sense. What about technical skills? Are they not important for a business analyst?
Technical skills are certainly important. A business analyst needs to be able to extract, clean and manipulate data to turn it into useful insights. However, I would argue that this can be learned on the job or through training programs. Strong business knowledge, on the other hand, is harder to teach and is something that a candidate would need to bring to the table.
