For College Students
    Overview
    There are numerous reasons why Kolkata presents ripe opportunities for Big Data. One of the primary reasons behind the expansion of Big Data in Kolkata is that each year, new companies are opening up in the city, looking for talented Big Data and Analytics professionals. So, you can seek employment opportunities not only in large companies (TCS, Wipro, Cognizant, Accenture, etc.) but also in small and mid-size tech firms as well.
    Another driving factor behind Kolkata’s emerging Big Data scene is the rapid expansion of the BPO sector. As an increasing number of BPO firms with offshoring services are setting up their units in Kolkata, the demand for trained and skilled Big Data freshers and mid-level professionals is rising.
    Furthermore, companies across all parallels of the industry (healthcare, education, travel & tourism, governance, IT/ITES, etc.) in Kolkata are becoming aware of the potential of Big Data. They are readily adopting Big Data solutions within the company infrastructure to cut down costs, maximize customer satisfaction, boost revenues, and much more.
    Overall, the changing industrial landscape of Kolkata presents a wonderful opportunity for Big Data professionals to find promising jobs in the Big Data domain.
    On average, a fresher with basic-level Big Data skills in Kolkata can expect a starting salary of around Rs. 2 - 3.5 LPA. However, if you have advanced Big Data certifications or specific skills (Hadoop/Apache Spark skills), you can earn an average annual package of Rs. 6 - 16 LPA. Experienced Big Data professionals (with over 10-12 years of Big Data experience) in Kolkata have a yearly salary package ranging between Rs. 15 - 28 LPA. For those in managerial positions, the salary can be over Rs. 50 LPA or more.
    As is true of all major cities in India, Big Data salaries in Kolkata also depend on company size and reputation, job profile, work experience, and skill set.
