How do I start my career as an analyst from scratch? The story of Akmaral Ospanova

Did you think that it would be impossible to get a good offer for an analyst position without many years of work experience? Then listen to the story of Akmaral — she proved that anything is possible!😏

Akmaral studied Mathematical and Computer Modeling at KBTU, but quickly realized that to become a sought-after analyst, you need not only formulas and code, but also practical skills.

BI-tools, Excel, data analysis — all this was not at the university. And in interviews, they don't ask you to solve differential equations — they ask you to show real skills.

That's when Akmaral joined DataBoom: she took courses in SQL, Power BI, Excel and Python, put together a portfolio of projects, and also seriously improved her interviewing skills with our career consultants.

The result?

— an offer from Tele2 for the position of data analyst.

— Confident job interview, including challenging live coding tasks.

— and work in a team where real skills are required, not just a beautiful resume.

"I liked the large number of practical tasks. Useful materials and links were shared at each stage of the course. I especially remember the meeting with Ekaterina Rechert and the answers to the questions."

Today, Akmaral is already building a career as an analyst and setting new goals — to receive international certification from Microsoft and reach the middle level.

"I want to express my gratitude to the entire DataBoom team! I have completed almost all of your courses, and today I received an offer and am starting my career! Special thanks to career consultant Zhansaya. She helped me prepare for the interviews and discussed all my work issues with me. Thank you very much, and I wish the DataBoom team further development!"

From the DataBoom team:

Akmaral, we are proud of you! You are an example for everyone who is willing to work on themselves and is not afraid to learn new things. Keep it up — great successes are just beginning!😌💫
