SA's work is more traditional high-level ppt creation, BA's work has a more technical bend to it with most working in sql/python as their day-to-day. SA's oftentimes will become BA's after a few years. In the Aug 2024 starting class there are about 160 BAs, 30 SAs, and 30 DAs (data analysts) so getting an SA role is a bit more difficult. 

 

Havent heard back about interviews but I had a recruiter reach out for the second time to ask which track I want to pursue as I applied for SA and BA internships
