How do you handle disagreement with a senior analyst's call?

Show structured + respectful approach: (1) Acknowledge their perspective + experience; (2) Present specific data/observation that informs your view; (3) Frame as question, not challenge: 'I noticed X — does that change the analysis?'; (4) If still disagreed, escalate via process (L3 or manager) without bypass; (5) Accept the call as it stands while documenting your concern; (6) Seek post-mortem feedback to learn. Interviewers want to see: independent thinking + collaborative communication + respect for authority but not silent compliance. Avoid: 'I always defer to seniors' (too passive) or 'I'd push back hard' (too combative).
