As documented by Cody Phillippi

Simplilearn not only taught me the skills I needed to improve my job performance, but my manager also considered the course when giving me a promotion. After completing my Bachelor of Business Management in Computer Science from Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, I started working at Salesforce. I’m fascinated with data visualization, which I want to master and apply to my work. The easiest way to move forward was by taking an online data science course, and I discovered “Simplilearn World’s #1 Bootcamp” and enrolled in its Data Scientist Master’s Program.

My experience with Simplilearn was superb, particularly the live sessions. The course helped me in my professional career immeasurably, including getting that promotion. 

Moving From Sales to Data to Strategy

I started working at Salesforce right after completing school. I started in the sales world and gradually moved to the data world. Today, I am on the Salesforce strategy team for our inside sales team. I have always been fond of working with data and analyzing it to help address business problems. Simplilearn’s Data Scientist Masters Program allowed me to work with our inside sales team to help them understand what makes the business tick, where we can improve, and what will make us the most money. In my current role as Salesforce’s senior program manager in sales development strategy and operations, I work as a bridge between my team and our technical team. My largest responsibilities include working on business intelligence, which looks at data from dashboards to analysis.

A Love of Learning

I love learning new and interesting things, especially next-generation approaches to the business world. I have an affinity for data and have always been skilled in pulling data in Excel, manipulating it, and coming out with insights. However, I was looking for a way to improve on these skills. I believed our business was taking an older approach to analyze data. Simplilearn’s Data Scientist Masters Program has allowed me to better manipulate and perceive data differently to help improve our business growth, rather than using traditional Excel formatting. It also helped me in day-to-day processes, which has saved me hours and hours.

My story is similar to a lot of IT professionals who changed their journey midway through in search for something more. While I started in the IT industry, I knew I wanted to do so much more, and digital marketing definitely seemed to call me with arms wide open. 

The more I learned about about digital marketing, the more I loved it. Before I knew it I was picking up as many courses on digital marketing as possible and eventually finally shifting my career goals to include digital marketing. Here’s a look at my professional  journey.

Background

An IIM Kozhikode graduate, I spent 13 years in the IT and telecom industry, lending my expertise to global business development and product management before realizing my passion for digital marketing and growth hacking.

Learning Journey

I started my digital marketing career by venturing into my first start-up, a hyper-local online grocery store called Combyn, that connected consumers with grocery stores in their neighborhood. I was having trouble building an online audience, so I decided to update my digital marketing skills to help me find a better connect.

I decided to take a course in digital marketing and shortlisted courses from different training providers based on three parameters: quality, depth of content and the price. I wanted a self-paced course in digital marketing to ensure that I could take the classes while I worked and enrolled in Simplilearn’s Digital Marketing Certified Associate.

The project-based work and instructive videos that were part of Simplilearn’s course helped me maintain a strong pace through the classes, and my interest grew with each session.

FIS

As documented by Rajesh Singh

I began my career with FIS, a global fintech firm, in 2006. During the first year, my primary responsibility was coding, testing, and providing platform and delivery solutions. In 2007, I moved on from that role, working 12 years for various tech companies in positions like systems engineer and technical architect before returning to FIS in 2019.

When I started with FIS the second time I worked as a Project Manager. In 2020, the company decided to start a new five-year project based on cloud computing. During that time, I worked as a technical architect for FIS. But as I considered my career ambitions, my interest in cloud technology, and the possibility of promotion within my company, I felt an immediate need to upskill by becoming certified in cloud computing.

Matching Your Career Goals with the Right Program

After carefully assessing my goals, I researched various programs to ensure the right fit. I came across different course providers but very few offered comprehensive cloud architect courses. A colleague recommended Simplilearn to me because of the virtual courses, which best suit me as a working professional. I chose Simplilearn’s Cloud Architect Master’s Program because of its highly-relevant curriculum and the benefits of taking the classes entirely online.

With Simplilearn, I enjoyed the convenience and flexibility of class hours because they didn’t interfere with my work schedule. In addition, the classes were virtual, so I chose to take courses either early in the morning, late in the evening, or even on weekends.

The courses were thorough and included modules like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud, along with all the basics of cloud architecture. As a bonus to my decision, my company paid for the course which made it easy on my pockets.

I’ve had the opportunity to explore a wide variety of professional roles. I’m 61 years old and have been practicing martial arts for the past 40 years. In addition to being inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Eastern United States International Martial Arts Association for a lifetime service of over 30 years, I still teach martial arts twice a week. I also worked as a DJ for a short period of time.

Having worked for over 20 years for Xerox Corporation in different technical and training positions, I found myself wanting to update my understanding of the emerging Public cloud landscape. I chose Simplilearn’s Post Graduate Program (PGP) in Cyber Security because of its comprehensive curriculum, and its coursework offering from the prestigious MIT Schwarzman College of Computing. Also, as a working professional during the pandemic, I looked specifically for the option to complete classes virtually. 

After the course, I successfully passed my Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) exams on the first attempt. 

Success Starts with a Decision

I believe in living a fulfilling life, and I’ve never shied away from learning new things. The path to my current career in cyber security is a result of key decisions to continuously update my skills based on my interests. My time working as a DJ led to an interest in electronic stereo systems and how they function. From there, I became interested in the IT sector and I eventually shifted to the software industry.

As I transitioned from a 20-year corporate career at Xerox, I began a journey to update my understanding of the emerging Public cloud landscape, specifically the tools and techniques used to implement and manage applications and solutions in that space. On the way, I naturally developed an understanding of the security needs and decided to focus my studies to understand more about the cyber security aspect of the cloud landscape.

I also realized that to perform better in the cyber security domain, I needed to clear the CISSP® and the (ISC)²® CCSP certifications. So, in 2020, I chose to upskill myself by enrolling in Simplilearn’s program with modules from MIT’s Schwarzman College of Computing.

Life is a funny thing. Sometimes, you take a course of action to help you achieve a particular goal, only to find out that the course of action offers you a far better opportunity than the goal you were pursuing!

That’s what happened to me when I took Simplilearn’s Professional Certificate in Data Analytics and Generative AI Program . What started out as a means of improving my career at the time turned into an irresistible opportunity to change course for the better and land a career far better than what I had previously. Let me explain.

But before I do, a little about myself. 

My Background

I live in Chennai, India, with my family. After I graduated from university in 2017 with a B.Tech in Aerospace Engineering, I ended up in a non-technical position, working as an Aviation Security Officer for Jet Airways. 

When Jet Airways ceased operations two years later, I saw this as an opportunity to go into the retail clothing business for myself. Things look promising until 2020 when the pandemic-based lockdown came crashing down, putting so many people’s plans on hold. 

Undaunted, I shifted focus to the hardware business and began striking up working relationships with vendors around India. It began to occur to me that I could gain a more competitive advantage if I could incorporate more data-driven insights into my business. At about the same time, I was becoming intrigued by the share market and by crypto trading, which sparked a further interest in learning the Python programming language.

The Challenge: Learning Data Analytics to Strengthen My Business

Okay, so I knew what I was up against now. I needed a convenient, affordable, and effective means of learning data analytics, so I could use those skills to improve and strengthen my business. After all, this is the age of data, and if you want your business to get ahead, you need the tools to better process, utilize, and monetize information!

So, I began searching for courses that related to my quest. And that’s when I found Simplilearn. 

The Simplilearn Solution

I chose Simplilearn because, after searching for courses and comparing various providers, I felt that Simplilearn’s course had better content and more robust support for easy self-paced learning, qualities I was looking for in an upskilling partner. 

The trainers were very professional and friendly, possessing a strong knowledge of data analytics. They also demonstrated a solid, constant level of support, which I was particularly happy about since I was completely new to the field. The staff helped me out a lot at the beginning!  This level of helpfulness and support really helped me build my confidence in data analytics.

So, I dedicated my evenings and weekends to learning, while still handling my business during regular hours. The self-paced recorded videos were particularly instrumental in clearing up any doubts or questions I had.

Everything was going smoothly. The attentive and knowledgeable trainers, the self-paced study materials, and the flexible learning times combined to form an effective and convenient means of learning data analytics.

Then, the unexpected happened.

The competition in the IT industry is fierce, and as the technology keeps on changing rapidly, one must be up to date with the changes happening regularly. One must keep upskilling to be at par with the market. So, I always strive to upskill myself and compete with the other IT professionals.

My Journey

I hail from Kolkata and live with my family. I completed my MCA from the Future Institute of Engineering and Management Kolkata in 2012. I started my career in the year 2013 in a mid-level organization as Software Tester as I couldn’t get the opportunity in campus recruitment. Starting from that, I switched several organizations until I got the first big breakthrough with Cognizant in 2019 as a Product Test Specialist.

After that, I joined my dream company Accenture as a Test Lead last year and am still a part of it. My main expertise is in Functional and Automation Testing using Selenium-Java. I have good exposure to designing Test Cases, Test Plans and executing them. I am well-versed with Project and Test Management Tools like Jira, HP-ALM, TFS, Rally, and Confluence. I have extended work experience and knowledge of the Agile/Scrum model. I also analyze business requirements and prepare test estimates and reports. I am ISTQB Certified and also got Certified from Simplilearn In Selenium.
