My first degree is in Business Education, served in a school and was retained. While serving, I started ICAN from foundation level in May 2019, got a job in an audit firm after few months of working as a full staff in the private school where I served.
I currently work with the audit firm with the hope of moving to one of the big four very soon .
I have just a course left to qualify as a chartered accountant.
I'm looking forward to adding data analytics and data science to the bag

Historicalee:


How long did it take to transit from the banking sector to tech? What informed your transition decision?

Did you get your MBA through a scholarship programme?

Left banking officially in 2016 when I got tired of doing the same thing everyday and it's also a contract staff role with no transition into full time staff.
Learnt website and mobile app development in the whole 2017 and started freelancing online and taking some gigs as well.

In 2018. I discovered data science as a prospective field, I watched few videos on YouTube and I fell in love with it because it relates well with database management I learnt in web development. I shoot my shots at several schools in the USA then I opted for SAU because it offer courses in both business analytics, data analytics and visualization, enterprise resource and planning as well as some business courses. It was a great opportunity for me to blend business and tech

For me I want to move places, change jobs too. I want to leave the northeast to Lagos. I'll really need help with getting new job career wise maybe. I'm working for an I-ngo as a community mobilizer, m$e assistant. Any other positions I can handle including procurement and logistics

Had first degree in chemistry.
Didn't practice it because I got a micro finance Job after nysc. From micro-finance, I moved to commercial bank.

I got tired of banking and decided to learn coding (website and mobile app development).

Found myself in between two worlds. Business and tech. Then I decided to do MBA in Trump-land Biden-land with concentration in business and data analytics.

With that, I am able to blend both the business world and tech world

I am a lawyer and I'm also looking at transitioning to Biden land and i want to do an MBA in something related to tech and business.

What are the career opportunities there in data analytics?

My school is Southern Arkansas University

Tuition is about $4k per semester (9 credit hours, I.e 3 courses per semester). You can get scholarships and funding if you have a great GPA with good test scores.

If your background is non-statistics one. You can do a brush up course on udemmy. Although you will still have to take pre-requisite courses in the USA

Great ... Yes Data analysis is related to Accounting ... you can transition into Business analysis too and/or Business analytics ... Then you apply your business knowledge derived from accountancy to provide management information necessary to making informed decisions !!

MadamVanessa:

You're a big time fashion designer and you still want to waste your time to study a course with high employment rate when you should work on developing yourself more and be an employer of others in your field.
