I am from Kolhapur, Maharashtra, and am currently based out of Bangalore. I work with Duxes Labs as a Data Analyst. Coming from a Mechanical Engineering background, it was difficult to get a job in the IT field, so I initially took an operations job with Flipkart, where I worked for a year. Later, I became a Senior Operations Executive at Swiggy and worked there for almost two years. I wasn’t satisfied with my career growth or salary, though, so I decided to switch fields. I wanted to work in Data Science.
I searched online, found Simplilearn, and enrolled in their Data Analyst Master’s program. I felt Simplilearn’s curriculum was best suited for my needs. I liked that it was co-developed with IBM. The pricing of the course was less than the competitors, and the course covered more content. As a working professional, I was able to take evening classes and study on weekends and weekdays after work hours. The course also had good ratings. All of this helped me make the decision to enroll.
The instructors were great and made the course very interesting. The classes were interactive, which made the learning process smooth. I received constant guidance for projects. In addition to teaching technical content, the course helped me in my personal growth by helping me develop my communications skills. If I had questions or doubts, they were always cleared up in class.
After finishing the course, I left Swiggy and actively looked for a job in Data Science. After two months and several interviews, I finally got hired by Duxes Labs as a Data Analyst, with a salary hike of 65 percent. I feel that Simplilearn’s certification played a key role in my getting the job. I am thankful to Simplilearn for helping me accelerate my career transition and training me on essential Data Science skills.
