The Analytics<\/a> Industry is growing at a rapid pace. So is the number of women moving into Analytics. We spoke to a few women who had started their Analytics Journey at Ivy Pro School. \u00a0As women and as analysts they spoke about the challenges and the advantages of being in this industry for women.<\/p>\n

As a Woman in the Analytics Industry, what are the challenges?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Surangama \u2013 \u201cIt is as challenging for a man as for a woman. The Analytics Industry requires you to be updated with the latest tools and techniques for better career progression\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Astha \u2013 \u201cIt is about putting in your heart and soul in the initial years for analytics. As a woman, you need to prove that you too can put on the business analytics hat along with your fellow male co-workers.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ria \u2013 \u201cI don\u2019t find any specific challenges being a woman in the Analytics Industry. Being an Analytics professional does not limit your boundaries since it can be applied to any industry\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What are the advantages of working in the Analytics industry for women?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Surangama \u2013 \u201cAnalytics is very women friendly in its the scope of providing flexibility in working hours. I can state my example \u2013 While I was unwell for a long period of 3 months, I was allowed to work from home without any hassles. This facility may be provided in other industries only in case of maternity leaves.\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Astha \u2013 \u201cFor working mothers, the Analytics Industry is a blessing. You can work from anywhere\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ria \u2013 \u201cA Bank is fairly different from a business consulting organization where the ratio of men to women is higher. However, the Analytics division in my company has started hiring more women since they find no difference in capabilities. There doesn\u2019t seem to be any gender biases in this industry allowing women to move forward\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What advice would you give to budding women Analysts?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All three had a common perspective \u2013 you should be good at what you do!<\/p>\n
