Business Analyst vs junior associate

Hi San,

Please raise this point with HR. In all the cases the process is the same, so you will have to go through it and it will be up to your interviewers to recommend the level at which you join.

I hope this helps!

Can you clarify what the question is?

Hi San,

Junior Associate is the level above Business Analyst. It pays more, requires a few more years of experience, and involves more responsibilities.

I quite like this infographic from igotanoffer:

Hi San,

Depending on your work experience you might qualify also for the higher-ranked junior associate.

Best way to proceed: grab your phone and call your HR contact to discuss your individual situation!

Hope that helps - if so, please be so kind to give it a thumbs-up with the green upvote button below!

The junior associate role really depends on the office. Best to discuss with Recruiting team who often will make the suggestion if it makes sense. There's no need to send another application and it might make sense to pass your first round interview first as the process is the same and also gives the team more conviction why you should be considered for a JA position.

For example in the London office, typically 2 years of work experience (IBD, PE, start up, government, etc.) would be considered as a BA where as JA has a PhD/MD or 2-3 years of transferable working experience wuch as consulting (often incl. a promotion) but no MBA.
