For the last 11 years, I have been working in the IT domain in software development on implementation and operations projects. I have technical skills in SQL development on MSSQL, Oracle, and Teradata. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before joining this program, I was working as a Technology Lead at Infosys and my biggest professional challenge before joining our program was my job role. The projects I was working on did not add further to my learning or skills. During this time, I came across the DSBA program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first, I had apprehensions about learning online. However, data science and business analytics are fascinating fields that I was curious about. The online medium seemed to be a more feasible option, where I could join the mentoring sessions without any hassle of traveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For any working professional, finding time to go through video lectures, study material, and prepare for assignments can be challenging. These sessions were an excellent medium to understand the concept, clarify any doubts, and have an idea of the working methodologies and solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Above all, the mentors extended their support at every point in time. They showed me the path to move ahead in the program, guiding me at every stage, whether it was clarifying any concepts, or assignment formats, or sharing industry experiences. Thanks to their support, I have learned new skill sets, and now I have a better idea of how data science works in the real world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The assignments and capstone project gave me a glimpse of how work progresses in a data science project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, my advice to people who are just starting to learn analytics would be that analytics is an interesting field to start a career in. Embrace the vastness of the course and continuously explore and learn, both in and outside of work. Analytics is an exciting field with a wealth of opportunities for growth and development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
