Hi!
Interesting question.
Re. the skillset, it really depends on the office and the projects you will work on.
As per the differences between a solution delivery analyst and a BA, Simon already gave you a detailed answer.
Best,
Anto

Hey,
a (Senior) Solution Delivery Analyst is a relative new role you find in several practices of McKinsey, e.g. in implementation. It is more or less similar to a (Sr.) BA / Fellow role (depending on McK office location) in terms of benefits.
The exact tasks heavily depend on where the role is located inside McK, e.g. you might join client engagements in a more or less typical consultant role or you might be responsible to roll out technical solutions in a factory. So, difficult to answer this in general, best is try to find this out during the interview.
Hope that helps!
Simon
