SDA vs SBA Apple

How does a Senior Business Analyst who is expected to do advanced SQL coding + Tableau reporting differ from Senior Data Analyst ?? I thought SBA is more like program manager.

It is common for business analysts to have to know SQL and Tableau here at Apple. I have seen the two titles been used almost interchangeably. Maybe it depends on the domain you are doing data analytics in? I’m in Finance, so our “Data Analysts” are actually “Financial Analysts”, but some still use Python, R, SQL, and Tableau
