Career Strategy with Gaurav

This is my second review of Gaurav. I am pleased to share some exciting updates. Firstly, I have successfully obtained my AWS Data Engineer Associate Certificate, and Gaurav was incredibly helpful in guiding me through this achievement. Additionally, I have recently landed a new job, and Gaurav's mentorship was instrumental in this process. He provided invaluable assistance in reviewing job offers and understanding new responsibilities. His clear guidelines on transitioning from my current position to the new one were both refreshing and practical. Gaurav's insights on what to focus on and what details to disregard made the decision-making process much more manageable. His comprehensive mentorship has been pivotal not only in securing my new job but also in planning for future career growth. Gaurav has laid out multiple pathways for career advancement, including opportunities to work with cutting-edge technologies such as generative AI within the data engineering domain. Furthermore, Gaurav assigned me projects on generative AI and its applications within the realm of data engineering and AWS. As a data engineer, these introductory steps were incredibly beneficial, and I am confident they will significantly enhance my new career.

Gaurav worked hard at helping me learn the basics of data engineering, and to get comfortable working in the AWS cloud.

Gaurav was very organized and gave me a structured learning plan/schedule based on my skill level when we started. He was great at breaking down/teaching complex Data Engineering concepts, and provides the appropriate outside material based on your learning style (e.g. videos, articles, textbooks). Additionally, Gaurav was an excellent communicator and always responded in a timely manner.

Gaurav has excellent mentoring skills, having provided invaluable guidance during my Data Engineering ramp-up. His strong technical knowledge and design skills helped me to learn industry standard concepts. I would highly recommend Gaurav to anyone seeking guidance in Data Engineering !

I am lucky to have come across Gaurav on my journey from data analytics to data engineering. He has helped me further my understanding of the field and build the skills/knowledge necessary for me to make this pivot. He is very responsive, direct and communicates well on complicated topics. I highly recommend him as a mentor!
