I recently gave my first interview in a business analyst role and this book alone can make you reach the salary negotiation stage. Even if you try to mug up everything, it will automatically build the business analyst mindset. To sum up the review, if you have each and every answer of this book even vaguely in your mind, you can crack interview of any company in any domain.

I would highly recommend this playbook for anyone preparing for BA interviews. This playbook helps you to ponder over your day to day tasks which you might already be performing as a BA but don't know how to articulate in the interviews. Read this playbook before your interview and draw analogies to the questions from your own experience and you're sure to crack any interview from any domain.
