I chanced upon MITB at a point in time when I was exploring options to switch gears in my career. From a functional tester in the IT industry I decided to venture into the analytics space. MITB has proved to be a quick win for me (and most of my peers) as it opened doors for a whole range of opportunities. Though a strenuous year, it was one that was rewarding, where most of us started from ground zero but finished the year as proficient and skilful data analysts ready to bridge the gap between industry needs and available talent pool. The best way to learn is to take advantage of MITB assignments which are derived from real data/industry problems. Amidst the assignments, quizzes and learning, the key focus of every student is to get a job. SMU career services has a strong relationship with many companies here in Singapore. I am happy to have gotten my internship and current job through SMU and would encourage students to leverage the help from SMU career services.
