>I mean, it made it sound like data scientist is just the same as a business analyst?
I think this demonstrates how hard "titles" are, because a "business analyst", in the sense that I learned, is not at all like a data scientist (or data analyst):
"Business Analysis'' is a research discipline of identifying business needs and determining solutions to business problems. Solutions often include a software-systems development component, but may also consist of process improvement, organizational change or strategic planning and policy development."
Most BA work I've done involved translating business requirements into technical or software requirements.
