Everything I got from my studies was not 100, but 120 % of what I expected.
Successful story
From university lecturer to business analyst: about burnout, fear of change, and carpe diem
One morning, I received an email from a recruiter at a small company in Vinnytsia who needed a tech writer. I grabbed the opportunity, went through three rounds of interviews, and miraculously got the offer I wanted.

Review
After graduating from a technical university, I worked as an energy manager and had career achievements. However, the coronavirus pandemic has significantly affected the market, and I decided that it was time to make a dream come true, namely, to change the field of activity. I had friends who were IT professionals, their atmosphere of communication, knowledge and thinking seemed to me to be something cool and something that would make me happy. I took a responsible approach to choosing a school. I studied the market of IT schools, read reviews, prepared a table with favourites ones, and, after personal communication with school managers, made an informed decision. I was fortunate to have a teacher, Iryna, who shared her knowledge, and practical experience and invited colleagues to give lectures. All this knowledge then significantly distinguished me from other candidates at interviews, and I had several offers. The self-study approach before class works really cool. Also, the guests invited by the teacher and the analysis of actual cases were helpful, and I later used it many times in my work. Even during the course, I had job interviews. A set of knowledge, good English, an understanding of processes and a demonstration of a completed project during the training helped in finding a job. And I received job offers. In the first month of the full-scale invasion of Russia, I was lucky enough to find my company - the company of my dreams. I have been working as a project manager at Digis for a year and have many exciting projects.
