I am a Management Accountant by qualification with 8 years of experience in Solutioning and Presales. I am also a SEBI Certified Research Analyst who has a lot of interest and passion towards equity markets, trying to build my own models to automate my trading process using historical and live market data. Currently working as Presales Consultant at Chargebee. Read further to learn more about my journey with Great Learning’s PGP Data Science and Business Analytics Course.
Coming from a complete finance background, I was not comfortable and wasn’t able to cope up with emerging technologies. Always had a feeling that I would be able to achieve more and give better results if I could combine my domain expertise with a better understanding of the latest technologies.
Given that I am employed, I was looking for an Online Program which also had to offer a quality course/content. After exploring different options, I chose Great Learning. My expectations were met throughout the course.
Mentored learning sessions were extremely useful and of great quality. Since the primary objective of me taking up this course was to build my own model and automate my trading process, I was always relating every topic and learning of mine towards achieving my goal. My questions were always on how to use the technology that I am learning to be put into practical use in achieving my objective. Mentors did understand that and always helped me out on that front by clearing my doubts and helping me to understand things in an easier way. I already had a semi-automated trading model in excel.
The new skill sets that I have learned, both from a statistical angle and from a technological angle have helped me in improving my model and automating it (working on complete automation).
Be consistent and be a regular learner and always try to relate your learning towards your domain/objectives. In a slow and phased manner try applying them in real-life scenarios.
