Got messaged by a C3 . ai recruiter. Read that wlb is bad and that the interview process is absurdly long, but the Glassdoor reviews are 4.2 and can't find actual hours worked posted by anyone. How's the culture really? I'd be aiming for DS consulting, something more functional but with DS/ML concepts as my differentiator.

Business analyst is the bridge between the tech side and the business side. Often involves requirements gathering and high level management of development projects (e.g. testing, managing sprints, internal or external software product releases). Data analyst primarily does front end analysis of data, excel, sql, power bi and turns that into dashboards/analyses for business leaders to understand. Both roles can overlap considerably, but that’s the general gist of it
Business analyst = business focused & excel. Maybe light SQL
Data Analyst = more data focused & SQL heavy. Maybe some python.
In general data analysts are a bit more technical and thus earn a bit more than business analysts do, but that’s not always the case
