 The biggest difference is who these analysts actually interact with. Typically the business analyst is going to be interacting more on the client side or the stakeholder side, whereas a data analyst is going to work more with the internal teams. Now that's assuming that they're both on the same team. Sometimes a data analyst is going to do basically the job of a business analyst and a data analyst, working directly with the clients and the stakeholders. A data analyst also tends to do more technical work. So they're going to do a lot more in SQL and Excel and Python and Tableau, whereas the business analyst is most likely going to be working just in Excel and SQL. The pay is also a little bit different. At most companies, a data analyst is going to make a little bit more than a business analyst, but it's actually quite close. On average, a business analyst is only going to be making about $5,000 less than a data analyst. Again, very company dependent because I have seen job postings for business analysts that made more than the data analysts at the same company. So the biggest differences are really that data analysts tend to be more technical, do a lot more of the deep analysis, whereas business analysts aren't going to go as deep on the technical side. We'll work more with the clients and stakeholders.
