Hello,
why we should select Ireland among all countries to study abroad? what are the specific advantages of studying in Ireland?
Ireland provides students with a 2 year graduate visa, which I think is a very good point
Hi Ashish,
How does the MS in Data Analytics programme of Irish universities compare to that of the US universities? Can you please do a comparative analysis? Thanks
Hi,
I didnt do a comparison because US was an expensive affair. So I am not the best person to answer this question. Apologies.
Hi Ashish,
I’m Student of Ms in DataAnalytics and I have relevant experiance of 4.3 years.
They say that other jobs like Application Development and other Software Engineering jobs openings are more compared to relevant job.So what is your suggestion if i get the job in Software Engineering immediately after my completion of course should I take it or wait for relavent job??
Hi Amruth,
A job in data analytics here in Ireland would pay more in comparison to other jobs for the amount of experience you hold. But then this decision would totally depend on personal preferences (whether you are okay with switching fields) and finances.
Agreed Ashish,Is that true application development job openings are more compared to data analytics??
Hi Ashish,
I wanted to know about the internship scenario in National College of Ireland? Internships options are easily available for International students?
I will be joining the University on September 2019 and as I told you have a relavent job experiance of 4,.3 years in Data Analytics.
Here are the questions:
1]So from when can I start applying the job and what is your suggestion from when should I be applying for the job?
2]As your in the same field what are the general skill sets should I be having to get job in Data Analytics?Like say the main skill sets(Resume Skill Sets) where my resume will be shortlisted?
3]Will having the certification help to get the resume shortlisted?
If Yes what are the Certification you would recommend or atleast suggest so that it helps to get the resume shortlisted?
Your doing the great thing by helping
Thanks in Advance
Based on what I have seen here, students from my college did find it difficult to get a job into data analytics. the number of openings for Application development is more as compared to data analytics, lets put it that way.
1]So from when can I start applying the job and what is your suggestion from when should I be applying for the job?
Ashish: You can start applying for jobs the day you land in Ireland but the company should be willing to apply for a visa for you as you are not allowed to work full time on a student visa.
Ideally you should start applying once you get your degree certificate.
2]As your in the same field what are the general skill sets should I be having to get job in Data Analytics?Like say the main skill sets(Resume Skill Sets) where my resume will be shortlisted?
Ashish: I am not working in data analytics. I am working in the same field I had previous experience in (Product Implementation).
3]Will having the certification help to get the resume shortlisted?
Ashish: Certifications are always a good idea and would definitely help you get shortlisted.
If Yes what are the Certification you would recommend or atleast suggest so that it helps to get the resume shortlisted?
Ashish: Not sure of the certifications.
Hi Abhinav,
Internships does not depend on where the students are from. Would totally depend on your capabilities. NCI has good internship options. And almost all batches in NCI are international students nowadays.
Great Speaking to you Ashish
Thanks
Hello Ashish,
I have an experience of 5 years in Digital Marketing and will be joining Msc in Data Analytics from DBS in Sept 2019. What will be your suggestion for job?
Hi Malhar,
If you get a job in data analytics you might be hired as a complete fresher(in terms of salary) as you do not have any prior experience. Not the right person to answer if there are any jobs ot there which would require digital marketing with data analysis.
Alright.
So what are chances of getting a Data Analytics job as a fresher after completing Masters in DA?
There are a lot of job vacancies in Ireland but then a lot of competition too as the number of people coming in has increased drastically since 2 years. So if you keep trying I would say its not difficult to get a job. Just that it might take some time (2- 3 months)
Okay. Thank you for the information !
Also, will doing internships or any individual projects considered as Experience during the job interviews?
