After a brief 2-month stint with Walmart Labs, I joined Gartner\u2019s Research Board as a Business Data Specialist.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #99cc00\"><strong>It was A Simple Decision When I Chose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygreatlearning.com\/pg-program-data-science-and-business-analytics-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Great Learning<\/a>:<\/strong><\/span> At IBM, I was already working in Business Intelligence and wanted to continue in the same field. <strong>I was never a fan of the core project management role and that\u2019s why I opted for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygreatlearning.com\/pg-program-data-science-and-business-analytics-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Great Learning Analytics program<\/a>. I enrolled in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygreatlearning.com\/pg-program-data-science-and-business-analytics-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PGP-BABI<\/a> as it felt like a natural progression to acquire more knowledge in my own field.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygreatlearning.com\/pg-program-data-science-and-business-analytics-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Analytics<\/a> is a growing industry and there is ample promise in terms of career trajectory.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #99cc00\"><strong>I Didn\u2019t Want to Take Up an Online Course:<\/strong><\/span> I was considering several online courses but I joined Great Learning as there is no motivation to continue with an online program after a point. With Great Learning, I felt like I was back to college with a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygreatlearning.com\/pg-program-data-science-and-business-analytics-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">well-structured plan<\/a><\/strong> and dedicated timelines to follow. <strong>I had a few conversations with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygreatlearning.com\/pg-program-data-science-and-business-analytics-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Great Learning alumni<\/a> and they unanimously told me about the excellent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygreatlearning.com\/pg-program-data-science-and-business-analytics-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Great Lakes faculty<\/a> that comes from the industry with years of experience and multiple real-life examples that they share with the candidates.<\/strong> No one gets that exposure with online courses. Industry exposure is much more important than the theoretical knowledge.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #99cc00\"><strong>I Liked the Program Because Of Its Industry Exposure:<\/strong><\/span> As a person with just 2 years of work experience back then, I didn\u2019t have expertise in any domain. <strong>The program introduced me to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygreatlearning.com\/pg-program-data-science-and-business-analytics-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">application of analytics<\/a> in different fields such as Marketing, Finance, Supply Chain, and Operations, etc.<\/strong> Case studies in different domains helped me understand the context better. <strong>It also helped me apply to a larger pool of organizations for analytics roles since I learned about different industries.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe second thing was, of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygreatlearning.com\/pg-program-data-science-and-business-analytics-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>the capstone project<\/strong><\/a> that I did with a travel start-up. The case studies (with the clean data) set the foundation for a larger capstone project that involved using raw authentic data in a live set-up. That\u2019s when I learned the entire analytics project chain from start to finish.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #99cc00\"><strong>My Experience as a BACP Mentor Has Been Extremely Satisfying:<\/strong><\/span> My main reason for entering the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygreatlearning.com\/pg-program-data-science-and-business-analytics-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BACP mentorship program<\/a> was to keep up with all the techniques that I don\u2019t get to use in my job role. <strong>The questions asked by the students keep me on my toes and I really like the challenge of answering all their queries.<\/strong> It is going pretty good and I am thoroughly enjoying it.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #99cc00\"><strong>Tools and Techniques I Use in My Current Role:<\/strong><\/span> In IBM, I was working on Cognos which is a BI tool and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygreatlearning.com\/pg-program-data-science-and-business-analytics-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tableau<\/a><\/strong> to a certain extent.<strong> Luckily, at Gartner, I have the flexibility to use the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygreatlearning.com\/pg-program-data-science-and-business-analytics-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tools and techniques<\/a> which I feel will help me solve a problem better.<\/strong> It is a research kind of role where I am not constrained by the tools as long as it solves the problem at hand. <strong>Mostly, I use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygreatlearning.com\/pg-program-data-science-and-business-analytics-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">R which is a free open-source tool,<\/a> but I also have the liberty to use a paid tool, provided I am able to justify its importance in solving a particular problem.<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #99cc00\"><strong>My Advice to Aspirants Looking for a Transition to Analytics:<\/strong><\/span> Contrary to popular perception,<strong> Analytics is a combination of domain and technicalities.<\/strong> Analytics can be applied in any field like finance, healthcare, marketing, etc. Whatever the domain or background of a person, they can always apply analytics in their own fields in one way or another. <strong>So my advice is to learn and apply analytics in your own domain before you start looking for a full-fledged analytics role in the job market.<\/strong> The ideas are not limited to a particular domain, and so shouldn\u2019t you be. Also, Analytics is not all technical. R, for example, is not a very technical language. It is a very simple tool to use.<strong> I applied it to my capstone project at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygreatlearning.com\/pg-program-data-science-and-business-analytics-course\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Great Learning<\/a> confidently which really helped me get hands-on experience.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Journey So Far: I graduated as an engineer in 2014 and joined IBM India as a BI (Business Intelligence) Developer.
