I found the new field interesting, increasing my urge to know about current tools and techniques. After a positive impact on my career and better clarity in using new tools, I wish to upskill more to perform better every day than my previous self.

I secured the position of business development engineer in Unified (a Qatar-based Company) in 2019, where I shifted my domain internally as a Data Analyst. I hold an overall experience of 3.7 years and relevant experience in data analytics of 2.7 years. My professional expertise revolves around analyzing detailed reports to increase the business’s sales revenue.

GOT NEW PROJECTS

As documented by Asghar Zubair

I am an IT professional who resides in Ontario, Canada. I have a Bachelor’s in Computer Science from the University of Western, as well as 17 years of experience in the IT industry, mainly in SQL servers. I wanted to change my domain to big data for a while now, and after a lot of research, I chose Simplilarn’s Professional certificate program in Data Engineering.

The Need to Upskill

When I started a new job as a big data engineer, moving from SQL servers to big data was a big challenge for me. I realized that I need to upgrade my skills in several areas, so I enrolled myself in the Professional Certificate Program in Data Engineering. 

Career Impact

Before taking this course, I was having a hard time with big data and was facing issues in performing my tasks. Upon course completion, my performance improved and I received a five percent increment in my salary.  I feel that I became well-versed with the big data ins and outs, and this course has tremendously helped me in upgrading my skill sets.

It is no longer a secret that understanding data analytics provides you with an enviable talent in today’s business. But it is not only a professional benefit. Have you ever considered how cricket analysis and graphs about a team or a player’s performance or audience votes are carried out? No, right? I was at your place, too, until I thought of making a career in Data Science to know the ins and outs of it and how the system works.

The Journey

I’m a young professional from Fatehpur living in New Delhi with my mother and elder brother. I did my MBA in Marketing and Human Resources from IPS Business School, Jaipur, in 2021. However, being an MBA in Marketing and HR, I needed to upskill myself in data analytics to pursue it as a career path. I’m currently working as a full-time Data Analyst at one of the leading multinational companies. In my work life of 2 years, I’ve worked for several companies as a Data Analyst. 

I’m highly encouraged and motivated towards Data. Data Visualisation, Data Cleaning, and Data Analysis are some of my abilities in Python, and R. My MBA with Marketing and Human Resources abilities allow me to engage with individuals and learn about their market perspectives, thanks to my decision to upskill myself with a Data Analytics course. And, let me tell you, my life changed after that.

The Simplilearn Course

I am a great admirer of cricket. Yet the analytical graphs about a player’s or team’s performance, audience votes, and so on piqued my interest more than the game itself. At that point, I chose to pursue a career in data science, and because my MBA was in Marketing and Human Resources, I required another learning platform to grasp Data Science. As a result, I decided to advance my data science career by enrolling in Simplilearn’s Data Analyst Master’s Program.

I rate the teaching staff, facility, and material at Simplilearn 12/10. They are extraordinary. One of my tutors was Mr Sudhanshu Saxena, who was very experienced. He even represented India at a global summit. The recorded sessions are the best part of the platform. After each class, a query session was conducted, and it was very helpful in clearing all the doubts. Also, the recorded sessions and query sessions are of great help to a learner.

The Result

After completing the Simplilearn Data Analyst Master’s Program, I landed my first-ever job as a data analyst at UST Global. However, due to a family urgency, I had to drop that job soon. But the knowledge gained and skills developed during my upskilling journey with Simplilearn helped me land my current job with a 35% salary hike. I have been a professional data analyst for around two years with various organisations. Currently, I am working for a Sweden-based multinational corporation as an IT Analyst, a job I landed after completing the Masters in Data Analytics course from Simplilearn.

I can perform my duties efficiently, all thanks to Simplilearn. I use most of what I learnt in my day-to-day work. This course marks the beginning of my upskilling journey, and I look forward to learning more as my career progresses. In the future, I plan to work as a data scientist and continue to learn new skills. My future objectives will alter as I advance, but I want to be a data scientist.

My sole piece of advice to somebody starting a career is never to give up hope; things will always fall into place. Maintain high performance and arduous effort, and everything will fall into place at the proper moment.

Deciding which career to pursue and what job role to work on can always be confusing. You can explore as much as possible until you are happy with your current job and designation. That is what I did; I was not fully satisfied with my career path and decided to change it entirely. After witnessing the growing demands for Data Science professionals in several industries, I made the ground-breaking decision to pursue a Data Science career. 

The Journey

A newcomer to the professional world, I began my career as an Assistant Software Engineer in the company named Nucleus Software Exports Ltd. I received this job almost immediately after completing my graduation. I pursued a B.Tech degree in Computer Science and thought that Software Engineering was my ultimate work domain. I reside in Bangalore and love sketching in my spare time. I also enjoy traveling to new places. 

However, after acquiring my degree and working as an Assistant Software Engineer, I felt that this career path was not the one I wished to stay in for long. My interests were drawn by the Data Science career path and its plethora of work opportunities.

It also gave an in-depth look into the world of Data Science, what it is like to be a data scientist, and how programming languages and data visualization tools are essential. Alongside understanding the world of Data Science, I understood the importance of machine learning and programming languages like Python and R. 

The course successfully demonstrated real-world scenarios, and I could work on hands-on projects to test my learning skills. Many practice and Q&A sessions boosted the understanding and learning of something new. Precisely, the Job Guarantee Program provided me with proper industry-level training and assistance to secure a job in my desired field.
