Switching to tech can feel scary, especially when you don’t come from a coding background. For Mohit Soni, it felt almost impossible.
“I Thought Tech Was Not for Me”
Mohit came from a Biotechnology background in a tier-3 college. He had
→ No coding experience
→ No tech exposure
→ No clear career direction
“I always felt tech was for people who had been coding since school or were from computer science background”
But during his final year, he started thinking differently. He didn’t want to limit himself to his degree.
“I wanted to try something better and future-proof. That’s when I started looking into data analytics.”
The Biggest Problem Was Too Much Confusion
Like most beginners, Mohit started learning online. But instead of clarity, he felt more confused. There were:
→ Too many courses focused only on basics
→ Too many YouTube videos (endless loop)
→ Too many opinions
“I didn’t know what to learn first or if I was even doing the right thing.”
He kept switching topics again and again. And progress? Almost zero.
That’s when he realized something important:
“It’s not about more resources, it’s about the right direction.”
How Bosscoder Academy Helped Him
Around that time, Mohit was exploring different courses and trying to figure out the right path. That’s when he came across Bosscoder Academy.
He didn’t jump in immediately. Like anyone else, he took his time to understand whether it would actually help or just add to the confusion.
But what stood out to him was the structure and clarity.
“For the first time, things started making sense.”
Instead of randomly learning from different places, he now had:
→ A clear roadmap of what to learn
→ Step-by-step guidance
→ Focus on skills that actually matter for getting a job
It wasn’t about doing more, it was about doing the right things in the right order.
And that made all the difference.
Learning What Actually Matters
One of the biggest turning points was understanding SQL.
Before this, Mohit didn’t even know how important SQL was in data analytics.
But during the course, things became clear:
→ SQL is the foundation of data roles
→ It is asked in almost every interview like data roles
→ It helps you actually work with real data
“The way SQL was taught made it easy to understand and apply.”
Instead of just theory, he started solving real problems.
The Importance of Mentorship
Another major factor in his journey was 1:1 mentorship.
There were many moments when Mohit felt stuck:
→ What projects he build
→ How to make a strong resume which helps him crack multiple jobs.
→ How to prepare for interviews
Having mentors made a huge difference.
“They didn’t just teach concepts, they showed me how to think.”
He learned:
→ How to present projects
→ How to answer interview questions in structure way
→ What recruiters actually look for
He also got guidance and referrals, which are very hard to get on your own.
The Role of Community
One thing Mohit didn’t expect to help so much was the peer community.
Being around people who were also learning and struggling created strong motivation.
It helped him:
→ Stay consistent
→ Learn from others’ mistakes
→ Understand real interview experiences
“You don’t feel alone in the journey, and that changes everything.”
Final Thoughts
If you’re someone from a non-tech background or a tier-3 college, this is for you:
It is possible. But don’t try to do everything randomly.
Focus on:
→ Having a clear roadmap
→ Learning the right skills
→ Getting proper guidance
And most importantly, give yourself time and stay consistent.
Because real progress doesn’t happen overnight, but if you’re on the right path, it will happen.
