From Mechanical Engineer to Power BI Developer: A Student Success Story at Datavetaa
Introduction
Can a Mechanical Engineer with years of industry experience really switch to IT and become a Power BI Developer?
At Datavetaa, we’ve seen this dream turn into reality many times. But one student’s journey stood out so much, we had to share it.
It’s a story of resilience, setbacks, and a triumphant comeback — proof that with determination and the right guidance, career switches are not only possible but achievable.
The First Step: A Question Full of Hope
When this student first walked into Datavetaa, he asked a simple but powerful question:
“Sir, I come from a Mechanical background with over 6 years of experience... Can I still switch to IT?”
Like many professionals stuck in non-IT roles, he had always dreamed of working in data analytics. He enrolled in our Power BI + Advanced SQL program full of energy and determination.
A Setback That Changed Everything
Just when his preparation was peaking and interviews were on the horizon, life hit him hard.
He was diagnosed with Typhoid and Jaundice at the same time. The illness drained his strength, disrupted his studies, and shattered his confidence.
With a heavy heart, he had to put aside his IT dream and continue in his Mechanical job. But deep down, the spark never truly went away.
The Return: Two Years Later
Two years later, he walked back into Datavetaa — not as a beginner, but as someone who refused to let setbacks define his future.
This time, his determination was unshakable. We welcomed him back wholeheartedly, promising ourselves that this time, we’d walk with him all the way to success.
The Datavetaa Difference
Here’s what we did together:
Personal Guidance: Trainers gave him extra attention, clearing every doubt.
Motivation: We celebrated his small wins, kept his confidence high, and never let him lose focus.
Hands-On Prep: He practiced real dashboards, solved Power BI interview questions, and built confidence step by step.
All this while, he was serving his notice period at his Mechanical company — closing one chapter while preparing to start another.
The Breakthrough
Just one week after his notice period ended, the moment arrived:
💼 He received an offer letter from a top MNC as a Power BI Developer.
From oil-stained tools to clean dashboards.
From engineering machines to engineering insights.
From setbacks to success.
Lessons for Every Career Switcher
His journey is proof that:
✅ Switching from Mechanical (or any non-IT field) to IT is possible.
✅ Setbacks may delay you, but they don’t have to define you.
✅ With the right training, mentorship, and persistence, dreams delayed are not dreams denied.
Final Thoughts
At Datavetaa, we don’t just teach tools — we walk with our students, even through their toughest storms.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you can switch to IT after years in another field, let this story inspire you. The journey isn’t easy, but it is absolutely possible.
