With the job going well, the thought in his mind was \u2013 what next?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSince I was in the market, I knew where the industry was heading and what are the skills that are being sought after. Getting into analytics was a natural next step for me. I was always good with statistics and numbers and felt it was my best way forward. But I didn\u2019t know how to get into analytics as it was not as mainstream yet, and there wasn\u2019t enough buzz around it, at least from what I knew. Initially, I was more inclined to do classroom training, but then I came across Jigsaw Academy, and the best thing was I did not have to necessarily quit my job to pursue training from here. I could learn new skills and work at my job simultaneously,\u201d says Siddhant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once he got into the rigor of the course, he really enjoyed what he was learning. In fact, he was able to finish the course in just four months. \u201cWhat I liked about Jigsaw Academy was that they taught us right from basics and didn\u2019t directly dump us with analytics concepts, which wouldn\u2019t have been great for a newbie to analytics like me. Not only that, they assisted me in my job search, and only a month after I finished my course, I was able to secure a job at Emplay Analytics, a seed stage start-up at the time. An incredible part I discovered once I joined there was that four of the first five hires, which included me, were Jigsaw alumni!\u201d adds Siddhant.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"_form_3\"><\/div>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/jigsawacademy67103.activehosted.com\/f\/embed.php?id=3\" type=\"text\/javascript\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After three successful years at that job and learning to work on more tools such as R, Excel, and SQL, he felt he was ready to take on a meatier role at a bigger company and bagged a job as Business Analyst at eBay India. \u201cWhen I wanted to change jobs, I came back to Jigsaw, and they helped me then too, some three years after I completed the course from them! I cracked the interview in the first attempt itself, and now here I am,\u201d Siddhant further adds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like Siddhant, many professionals are moving towards building their careers in analytics. When asked his advice to anyone thinking of picking up analytics skills, he says, \u201cAnalytics is about numbers, statistics, and more recently coding or programming skills. One should have a strong inclination towards these, even if they do not come from these backgrounds. The ability to build a story with data is extremely important, without which you will not be able to explain your analysis to the client. \u00a0Statistics is very important \u2013 brush up on it and learn it right as it forms the basis for your data career.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #008fc6;\">\u201cA Data Scientist should be good at programming from a statistics point of view and good at statistics from a programming point of view\u201d, quips Siddhant.<\/span><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Analytics is only getting started, and the future is data. \u201cAnalytics is an important skill for everyone right now. Data Science is only one part of analytics, and there is so much more to learn. Being good at crunching numbers is not enough, but you should be able to show clients your results in a manner they will understand. Analytics will become even bigger in the next five years, and if there is a recession or a slowdown, the IT sector will get hampered, and the data guys will easily cruise through it. By 2020, the Indian analytics sector will be short of thousands of employees, so I say strike while the iron is hot!\u201d advises Siddhant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last piece of insight he notes, \u201cData will be huge, and the industry is set to grow at an unbelievable pace. I see absolutely no reason people shouldn\u2019t pick up analytics and fast track their career, seeing how it is also one of the best paying sectors!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Best Jobs after MBA<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are still struggling<\/span><b> with what to do after MBA<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?
