As documented by Sunit Roy

The competition in the IT industry is fierce, and as the technology keeps on changing rapidly, one must be up to date with the changes happening regularly. One must keep upskilling to be at par with the market. So, I always strive to upskill myself and compete with the other IT professionals.

My Journey

I hail from Kolkata and live with my family. I completed my MCA from the Future Institute of Engineering and Management Kolkata in 2012. I started my career in the year 2013 in a mid-level organization as Software Tester as I couldn’t get the opportunity in campus recruitment. Starting from that, I switched several organizations until I got the first big breakthrough with Cognizant in 2019 as a Product Test Specialist.

After that, I joined my dream company Accenture as a Test Lead last year and am still a part of it. My main expertise is in Functional and Automation Testing using Selenium-Java. I have good exposure to designing Test Cases, Test Plans and executing them. I am well-versed with Project and Test Management Tools like Jira, HP-ALM, TFS, Rally, and Confluence. I have extended work experience and knowledge of the Agile/Scrum model. I also analyze business requirements and prepare test estimates and reports. I am ISTQB Certified and also got Certified from Simplilearn In Selenium.

The Challenge

After my graduation, I wasn’t able to get a job during the campus placement drive. This led me to start my career against my goals through several different companies. I was constantly looking to upskill myself through different online portals and channels. I browsed through several educational portals but wasn’t able to find the right platform to upskill. That is when I came across Simplilearn.

The Simplilearn Solution

I browsed through Simplilearn’s Selenium Certification Training and found exactly what I was looking for. I spoke to their executive and was satisfied and convinced in what the course was offering me.

The Results

As I already mentioned, I started my career in a mid-level organization, so it was necessary to add some skills to my bucket to grab a big one. So, after completing the Certification from Simplilearn with improved knowledge and proof, I could crack a job at an MNC.

I was able to crack my dream job at Accenture with a 105% hike from my current salary. I am highly content with my current role and organization. It was really a turning point in my career. The course helped me improve my knowledge and get a clear understanding of the Automation Skill Set to clear the interview and get industry-ready.

I would highly recommend others to keep the upskilling journey going on and most definitely with Simplilearn.
