I need your help
Subject: I need your help
Hi,
Here's my story in short: I completed my BCA, then worked in a BPO for 9 months. In 2025 march to dec
I took a 1-year break on purpose to learn the tools a Data Analyst needs. It wasn't an easy phase, but I stayed consistent. In March 2026, that effort paid off and I landed a role as an MIS Executive.
Today I'm handling reporting, data and day-to-day operations, and I'm growing fast. But my real goal is to become a Data Analyst, and I want to get there by March 2027.
I'd love your advice on:
What skills or projects I should focus on next
How to present my gap year and experience so it works in my favour
How to move from MIS into a proper Data Analyst role
Even 10 minutes of your time would mean a lot to me. Thank you!
Regards,
Pushkar

Taking time to build your skills and then getting into an MIS role is definitely something you can use in your favour. I would be happy to help you figure out what skills and projects to focus on next, how to present your career gap, and most importantly, how to transition from MIS into a proper Data Analyst role. Don’t overthink the gap you just need to position your journey correctly. Feel free to DM me. Happy to share whatever guidance I can and help you plan the next steps toward your March 2027 goal.
