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.
