I can sugar coat it, but the answer is yes

Yeah but the profiles of the ppl hired for the two roles are very different

Why does it matter? Which one would make you happier?

Unpopular opinion here: if you know what you want to specialize - then the former is better. The job will satisfy you more I’m sure of it! Being a generalist means you are not gonna like what you do sometimes and your learnings will stay as a general knowledge considering you won’t invest in the topic further.

Yes .

Yeah it may be better for certain ppl, just that the generalist track is more prestigious, not necessarily better for everyone

So in NA - they have the same for compensation, both client facing and can be staffed on same projects. It’s just you specialize in one practice/function as a Sr Analyst (expert path) whereas generalist BA tend to do random walks early years up until AP (those tend to have worse work life balance) At the end of the day depending on what you want and what you like.
