Hi there, just a question regarding Monitor Deloitte as I am currently preparing a Cover letter. In their German job posting they name the entry level position "Business Analyst/Consultant". Do you think the analyst/consultant is technically one and the same or do you think it actually makes a difference whether i name it "business analyst" or "business consultant" in the cover letter? why would they name it in these two different ways? thank you (-:

Hi there,

It is a bit odd indeed that they use two different names.

If they specify in the job description they are referring to two different roles according to the years of experience, I would choose the one for which you identify the most.

If they don’t, I would check on LinkedIn what’s the name people use when they join with similar experience and use that.

If you cannot find any information, then I would go with “Business Analyst/Consultant”.

Hope this helps,
Francesco

Hi there,

I'd personally network a bit beforehand...you can use this "excuse" of trying to determine what role you'd fit best in.

If you can't gather any information, I may lean towards keeping the "/" in there. I.e. "I'm writing to apply to the Business Analyst/Consultant postion". If it's listed as one position, this might make the most sense.

That said, if you have a Master's degree AND a few years of work experience, you could probably come in at the consultant level.

I agree through, odd to have it combined!

They typically advertise analyst/consultant and consultant/manager role as one. Depending on your prior experience & how you perform in the interviews, they will bring you in at the appropriate level/seniority. In Consulting their levels are: Analyst, Consultant, Senior Consultant, Manager, Senior Manager, Director, Assoc Partner, Partner. Note that not all offices/locations have all these levels..for e.g. some locations dont have Assoc Partner level.

If you have some years (2-3 yrs) of work experience and if you do well in interviews you can land at Consultant. Fresh graduates or those with 1yr or under work experience, land at Analyst level typically.

thank you so much for your response! i recently graduated with a master's degree. would you then say it's safest to just apply using the term "business analyst"?

Adi am 17. Feb. 2021

Yes that would be the best option for you. Just say “Analyst”

Doing a quick linkedin search, it seems that these are two different titles. People tend to start as Business Analysts when they come right out of univeristy and then get promoted to Consultant after ~2 years. So if you have prior work experience, you should apply as a consultant. If not, go for the BA position.

Just recently interviewed with them and they clarified this in their company presentation - "Business Analyst" is if you apply with just a Bachelor, "Consultant" if you apply with a Master or work experience.

Hello!

Indeed it´s quite bizarre that they use two terms.

TBH, CL does not really matter much, so try to not dedicate too much time.
I would just use the term consultant, that is generic.

Hope it helps!

Cheers,

Clara

Hi there,

that is indeed strange to name a position like that.

If I were you and didn't have time/mean to clarify it, I would keep the slash.

FYI, cover letters are often skipped off by the recruiting:)

Good luck with your application!
