My short-term aspiration is to become a Business Analyst/ Data Consultant/ Senior Business Analyst in a data driven company. I’ve always dreamt of working as a Data Analyst/Data Scientist in an organization that is involved in big data analytics for example Amazon. In the past few years, Amazon has moved away from a pure e-commerce player to a giant online player who offers much more than just products.

To become a successful leader, I should continuously take efforts to diversify to get different perspectives on solving a real-world
