Currently working in Tech Strategy.

I have a business strategy specialization from Coursera and some AWS Cloud Stuff.

Strategy is more on the business side so think Tableau, Alteryx, anything data visualization, Financial Modeling, etc.

Unfortunately, an MBA is the correct answer. Experience is the other answer. So, assuming you don’t have an MBA, tailor your resume to highlight the strategy capabilities then apply for more junior strategy roles. Your product experience will stand to you.

Also, learn SQL so you can do your own analysis.

Hello,

I need some help/suggestions. My YOE is 1.3 yrs and my tech stack is Python, SQL, and i have worked on the tool Informatica (Informatica is an ETL tool)

I am trying to switch and I want to change my tech domain. I want to become a data analyst.

But whenever I appear for interviews, I don't get shortlisted after the final round, because I have work experience in Informatica. Honestly, i don't want to work on this tool anymore and I want to change the technology domain.

Sharing my thoughts !!

In November 2021, i was working in Tcs at a package of 4.1 on Mainframes. I was not happy at all with my career. Learnt a new technology(Cloud). Gave interviews, rejected by few companies including Deloitte. Kept going..
Joined Accenture as a Cloud Engineer. In December 2022, I will be earning a package of 12. Got one certification, aiming for 2nd one. All this within a span of 12 months. These are brilliant times in tech. Keep hustling. Success will be yours.
