  • Two approaches to build a career
    Like any other employment skill, there are 2 approaches to enter / start an analytics career:
    Approach 1 – Get hired by a company which trains you (on job / internal trainings) on the necessary skills. These would be companies which have Analytics in their DNA and use it for their day to day decisions. While this approach is better from long term perspective, it takes time and investment (especially if there is no structured training in the companies). Some of the companies known for using cutting edge Analytics (in India) are:
    Technology leaders: Google, Facebook, Linkedin
    Banking, Financial Services and Insurance (BFSI): Capital One, American Express, ICICI, HDFC
    Telecom companies: Idea, Vodafone, Airtel
    Analytics Consultancies: Fractal, Mu-Sigma, Absolutdata, ZS Associates
    I plan to post an article on how to prepare for interviews for Analytics jobs in coming weeks. Stay tuned, if you are expecting to face an interview with any of these companies!
    One of the alternate route to get into these companies can be internships. So if you have a 2 – 6 month break, give a try to becoming an intern in these companies.
    Approach 2 – Get Business Analytics related certification: While these certifications provides you with the technical skills required, these would not be able to compensate for experience on the job. Following are some options of training available (in India):
    For people with work experience, various leading academic institutes run certification courses. I had covered them in more details in my previous post here. If you have the required experience and resources, I would recommend the course from ISB
    For freshers, there are certification courses run by SAS training institute, Jigsaw Academy(Online), ADSA, Analytics Training Institute. Getting these certification courses can increase your chances of getting hired in some of the best companies.
