Hi there,

See below for answers + prior Q&As for you!

1- What are knowledge analysts? what is their career pathway? & 3- What are the differences between them and consultants?

The are the “support” role for consultants. They do significant research to support teams and are the “experts” for the field.

2- What is the average salary of knowledge analysts? 

In short, lower, but exact salary depends on country/office!

4- Is interview process the same like consultants? 

Yes, for the most part, but often with greater emphasis on your domain expertise.

Hello!

Those are very very detailed questions, since they totally depend on the office/region. Hence, it will be difficult that you find insightful answers in blogs like this. 

I would recommend you to use this as an opportunity for networking, and you will kill two birds with one stone. 

Hope it helps!

Cheers, 

Clara
