Chemical engineer to AI consultant, 120% salary increase.

As a learner, I meticulously planned my job search strategy after completing the EPGP DS program. Recognising the need to bridge my background in chemical engineering with the emerging field of artificial intelligence, I proactively engaged in relevant projects before stepping into the interview arena. Armed with 5 years of experience in chemical engineering, I was determined to make a significant career shift. The effort invested in acquiring practical skills and hands-on experience in AI paid off when I secured a position as an AI Solution Consultant at C3AI. The transition was not just a change in job title but a massive leap in terms of compensation, as I secured a remarkable hike of 120%. This journey from a Chemical Engineer to an AI Solution Consultant exemplifies the power of strategic planning, continuous learning, and a bold approach to career transformation. It reaffirms that with the right skills, mindset, and a well-executed strategy, one can navigate a successful path in a dynamic and competitive job market

Dreams deferred to data triumph: upGrad's resilient transformation journey.

My father was in the Indian Air Force, and I always wanted to follow suit. However, sometimes reality can be a stark departure from dreams. I realized this first when I had to enroll myself in an engineering course at NIT Surat, apparently for a stable career. I settled into my life at NIT, and being a national-level volleyball player, I also continued playing. But the lowest point in my life came when I severely injured my knee during a game. I was bedridden for weeks, and I was no longer fit enough to pursue my dream of becoming an IAF officer. This dampened my spirits and even affected my grades, eventually pushing me into depression. Determined not to give up, I started watching motivational speeches and even wrote about depression. I cleared my final exams and landed a quite underpaying job. However, I made the best of the situation and learned a lot on the job. A year and a half later, I had a moment of epiphany: I took a leap of faith, quit my job, and enrolled myself in upGrad’s Data Analytics course. I lived a minimalist life during the six months of this course and channeled all my efforts, including 15 hours of study time per day, towards it. I received incredible support from the upGrad student mentor and careers team in arranging mock interviews with industry experts and tips on salary negotiation. Thanks to this, I landed a job with Tech Mahindra! On receiving my paycheck, I bought a watch and a suit for my brother, who was then appearing for interviews. Now I am saving up to buy a car for my parents. So, there you have it—my journey has been full of highs and lows; points from where I never thought I’d make a comeback. In the end, I had faith in the one person I needed to trust—me—and that’s why I’m here today
