Hello,
I am a 17 yrs experience Marketing head interested in big data. I read about it and found it very interesting. I don’t have any programming background, but I am into statically planning and business analysis. I wanted to leverage business analytic s for my clients by providing them accurate and useful reports and predictions based on their clientel data. It would be helpful if you can suggest me a good course. There are few which focus more on concepts like the ones from IIM bangalore and few which focus more on usage of tools. As a person coming from marketing background which no knowledge of JAVA or any programming language which course should I opt for.
Thanks in advance for all the suggestions.

Hi Kunal,
I have 3 years of experience in IT service industry as business analyst. My highest qualification is bachelor of engineering, I guess due to this, I am getting lower pay as compared to industry pay. I am looking forward for switching my career in analytics. However I am confused If I should opt for short term analytics courses offered by jigsaw or similar academies or I should go for Masters programme? considering that my highest qualification in bachelor of engineering.
Hi Kunal,
I have done B.Tech( IT) but having 10+ year of experience in Electrical project Management field. would you suggest if i will do distance MBA in analytics from IIMC upto what extent will help in my career growth or hike in pay scale. I am not getting so much salary as compared with career in IT field for having 10 year of experience.
Kindly suggest what specialization will suit for further career growth.
