I have done my Bachelors in Power Plant Engineering, after which I worked for Emerson Electric for 2 years as an Engineer. Post this; I did my master's in Economics. After my masters, I worked as a Data Scientist in a health tech Startup. I had an offer in hand, but that company had some hard times and revoked all existing offers. After that, I got an opportunity to work with Fractal Analytics, with whom I\u2019ve been working for the past 3 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I come from a Non-tech background, therefore, my coding skills were not up to the mark, but statistical knowledge was pretty decent since I was trained in economics. I felt there were gaps in my knowledge, especially in terms of tying down my stats skills with code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I went over a lot of online courses and did a few small courses online. Overall the course curriculum and teacher profiles at Great Learning impressed me a lot, so I decided to go ahead with it, and now that I have finished my program, I can say I made the right choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I did not have many apprehensions about an online program. I had done a few small courses, as I mentioned, and I was pleased with the delivery. I knew great learning would do an even better job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mentoring sessions are really important. You would have questions during the weekly video lessons, and you would need knowledgeable faculty. Great learning provided me with a great mentor. Most of my doubts were code-related rather than Stats or Math, and my mentor cleared all of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The mentoring sessions were really good. I also became a mentor at Great Learning, but unfortunately, I couldn\u2019t continue with it as I had just switched to Fractal. So, I know what goes on behind selecting a mentor for the program, and the quality of the mentor I got was outstanding. My mentor helped me in dealing with the Code - related queries, and it helped me in my professional life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an accomplishment, I have managed to publish a paper in an American Journal in Deep Learning. <\/strong>Also,<\/strong> the education I received from GL helped me to crack various interviews, including the one at Fractal Analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One advice I would have for new learners is to know your basics well and understand the data in and out; if you see a value know how it is generated and how that data recording or generation process varies between data sources. Also, learn SQL along with your normal AIML course.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I have done my Bachelors in Power Plant Engineering, after which I worked for Emerson Electric for 2 years as an Engineer.
