I am Suraj Chander, currently working in a new job at Aideas Engineering Pvt. Ltd. my career switch from Mechanical Engineering to Data Analyst began at my first job. 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.  

The Journey 

I finished my BTech in Mechanical engineering in 2018 from Alliance University. 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. I am skilled in Tableau visuals, SQL, Advanced Microsoft Excel “Pivot Table & Dashboarding”, Python, and Microsoft office.

The Challenge 

Having experienced and finalized my career path, I like to learn more about trends and updated tools. I wanted to improve myself further in the field, which encouraged me to look for this upskill program. There are multiple educational platforms imparting education. The choice was difficult to find the ones providing true knowledge and immediate assistance. 

Simplilearn Solution

I chose Simplilearn’s Data Analyst Master’s Program due to the positive things I noticed here. Their customer service is prompt, and they ensure to resolve the query at a scheduled time. Their curriculum is also well-designed, which I witnessed further after taking the program. I found it as the right gateway for improving the knowledge related to data analytics. The hands-on experience through projects is one of the best ways to apply all the concepts and gain particle understanding, which is available here. 

Moreover, the comprehensive curriculum covered all the tools along with proper understanding. Apart from this, the polite instructors answer all the queries, thus clarifying the concepts.

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.

This decision aligned with my career goals and provided valuable knowledge in the field.
