Introduction
Residing in the vibrant city of Bangalore, I embarked on my professional journey as an engineering graduate in Electronics and Communication. My career took its first steps at IDMIA, where I was deeply involved in software engineering tasks for nearly five years. However, life’s transitions, including marriage and relocation, necessitated a career pause. This break, rather than becoming a roadblock, served as a launchpad for my next career phase, thanks to a strategic decision to upskill in Full Stack Development.
Enrollment Decision and Career Goals
The decision to take a hiatus from my professional life wasn’t easy, especially knowing the rapid pace at which technology evolves. Determined to not let this break hinder my career trajectory, I chose to upskill myself in an area that was both challenging and full of opportunities: Full Stack Development. Simplilearn’s Full Stack Java Developer Masters Program was my course of choice, aiming not just to brush up on my existing skills but to acquire new ones that would set me apart in the competitive tech landscape of Bangalore.
My Experience with Simplilearn
Simplilearn’s blended learning approach, combining live and recorded sessions, provided the flexibility I needed to balance learning with personal commitments. The 24×7 lab assistance was invaluable, allowing me to dive deep into projects at my own pace and on my schedule. What stood out most were the industry-relevant projects included in the curriculum, which prepared me for the practical challenges I would face in the tech world. This learning journey was not just about acquiring knowledge; it was about growing, overcoming obstacles, and preparing for the future.
