I felt insecure and anxious as I was wasting my efforts in such technologies as Linux and SQL which had no growth. After researching a bit, I decided to switch to Big Data. I chose Big Data because it is the growing technology and will stay in demand for a long time. So, it could open new doors for me.

DataFlair was my secret key to crack my first Big Data interview in one go. The full credit for my success goes to the instructor who helped me in every manner possible. For cracking the interview, I attended the mock interview sessions; they really helped me with my confidence. Alongside, I watched the videos provided by DataFlair; those helped me remember everything accurately. Then, I pulled up Quora and DataFlair to read about some interview experiences. These informed me about common mistakes, and I easily cracked the interview.

I got placed, scored 100% hike, and transformed my career with DataFlair

With the world becoming data driven, I felt the need to suit my Java career to the current market demands. I was working on the technologies which were decades older and had very slow career growth. I wanted a change, and so I looked up Big Data and its future scope, salary, career growth, and the career path.

DataFlair's Big Data Hadoop and Spark developer course sounded exciting, so I decided to give it a try. I wasn't quite sure about it since I've had bad experiences when shopping for online services, but this one changed my mind. Not only did they explain in the best way, they used practical examples to explain everything. The live projects were like a gift; they taught me everything from confidence to skills. After the course, they offered me a mock interview session, which was brilliant in itself. I credit all my success to DataFlair.

DataFlair revived my career with Big Data

I had a well-paying job with SQL and PL/SQL, and a good work-life balance. But it felt as though it wasn't enough. This is where Big Data came in. I recognized the gradual shift toward it since regular RDBMS was no longer good enough to handle such massive amounts of structured and unstructured data we generate today. Next, I needed guidance. I searched online for a MOOC and ended up at the DataFlair landing page. I was sceptical at first, but then the doubts gave way as I read what their students had to say about them.

The instructor seemed to be an expert in Big Data, Hadoop, and Spark, and the course material was exceptional. I loved the live projects and all the assessments. Finally, the mock interview session gave me a taste of what the real interview would be like. Eternally grateful to DataFlair.

From SQL to Big Data

I always wanted to be a developer, although I began work as a technical consultant at Promantia Solutions. I worked on Java, SQL, and PL/SQL. I was being promoted and settling in my career, but that wasn't quite satisfying. Somebody happened to tell me about Big Data, but I wasn't sure I could do it. However, after the first session from DataFlair, my nervousness began to leave, and confidence began to set in. I wanted to really pursue it.

The instructor was efficient and accurate in his lessons. And because of the mock interview they held, I was confident and excited. I cracked the interview in one go and I remember that is because I learned so much from the live projects I got to work on. Today, I work at JDA and have received an 80% hike in my salary. Thank you, DataFlair.

Mid-career shift from Java to Big Data

Rahul Doddamani Success Story - DataFlair

Working as an HR executive, my manager told me to hire a Big data developer. This had me thinking. So, I Googled, and to my amusement, I felt some kind of a calling. I found out that Big Data was the latest technology and most people and companies were moving forward in it. I liked my job and was uninterested in coding, but I was curious about Big Data. I learned about it the entire night.

I was nervous enrolling for the Big Data Hadoop and Spark Certification course by DataFlair; I had no technical exposure and didn't know basic terminologies. But the Instructor always helped and answered all my questions. The experience was awesome. The first day, he gave us small assessments and ranked students accordingly. The instructor also helped each student so well, it cleared the fundamentals of Big Data & Hadoop in their minds. DataFlair was there for me up until I found myself a job in Big Data.
