\u2018I Never Only Dreamed About It, I Worked For It\u2019 – says Vigya<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Meet Vigya Chaturvedi, an aspiring Big Data Engineer who has a desire to succeed and a zeal to conquer new challenges in the world of technology. Let us take a walk through her journey by her own words -<\/p>\n

I am a software engineer with a never-ending love with software and technology. I get excited when anybody around me talks about any emerging technology. In the year 2015, I heard about robotics and drones that blew my mind. I mean, a drone that looks like an electric toy can do multiple tasks that can help industries to advance their work and make informed decisions.<\/p>\n

It is always my dream to become versatile in new technologies. \u2018I Never Only Dreamed About It, I Worked For It.\u2019 So from PS4 to robotics, I use to study about every technology that comes into the market picture.<\/p>\n

My last job was at Infogain as a software engineer. I used to work in mobile testing which later seemed very monotonous to me. I felt tedious with the same work and wanted to upskill my knowledge with the latest technology but I had no clue about one.<\/p>\n

How did I come to know about Big Data?<\/h3>\n

On a fine coffee break in office, I discovered that one of our past colleagues have recently become a Big Data Engineer (one of the sexiest job). Now I got a clue about this trending technology.<\/p>\n

Big Data Analytics, with this you can always stay a step ahead. Also, the use of Big Data by the companies is enhancing every year.<\/p>\n

So, out of curiosity, I tried to speak to him about his journey towards becoming a Big Data Engineer. After learning from him, I constructed a procedure to build a road to my success.<\/p>\n

My strategy to become a Big Data Engineer<\/h2>\n

Would you like me to tell you my formula for success?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018Determination and DataFlair\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first thing that can lead you to what you wanted is hardcore dedication and determination towards it. Therefore, I believed in my choice and started working on it efficiently. The other formula was in the form of a training institute that I got in DataFlair<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Initially, I attended a few preview training sessions and found Dataflair best among them. So, to get every piece of information about Big Data, I enrolled for a Big Data, Hadoop, Spark and Scala Course<\/strong><\/em><\/a> with DataFlair.<\/p>\n

\n

As soon as I started my training, I found it really comfortable because, in DataFlair, they provide you every possible support. The instructor had an amazing teaching style and was enthusiastic about his work.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cA good teacher can inspire hope, ignite the imagination, and instill a love of learning.\u201d<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The content in the course and the way everything was described seems perfect to me. The lectures, assignments, and projects given by the instructor were a great learning. Along with this, mock interview sessions were conducted to prepare the candidates for job interviews. They also allotted Big Data projects at the end of the training which gave the candidates practical knowledge through the real cases.<\/p>\n

Interview Experience<\/h3>\n

The next step was to appear in a job interview conducted by Informatica<\/strong> for the post of Big Data Engineer. After coming so far with the DataFlair, I was confident to perform well in the interview.<\/p>\n

There were 3 rounds-<\/p>\n
