Career Redesign for a Working Professional, 2017

Abbas, a civil engineer by qualification, gained one year of on-site experience before transitioning to customer support at Amazon, where he was promoted to team lead within two years. He approached us to plan his master’s degree in Business Analytics from Canada, seeking guidance on the process. A career counseling session was arranged with a Fermata expert.

During the session, Abbas expressed his desire to pursue a master’s in Business Analytics, explaining that he no longer wished to return to civil engineering as he found the daily tasks of monitoring construction work uninspiring. However, he was uncertain whether Business Analytics was the right field for him.

Since pursuing higher education would require a significant investment of both time and money, the career expert advised Abbas to enroll in a short-term Business Analytics program to explore the field and gain a clearer understanding of its demands. The expert also provided a few options to choose from. After completing the foundational course, Abbas gained the clarity and confidence to pursue a career in Business Analytics. He then took the next step by identifying a suitable university and beginning his new journey.
