"I had no hopes left. A career gap, a non-tech degree, and rejection after rejection — until I found a program that didn't just teach me, it placed me."
That's how Disha Gupta describes the two years before she became a Data Analyst at Barclays. Her story is one of the clearest The Skillians review you'll find — not because it was easy, but because it shows exactly what the pay-after-placement model is built for. From a BBA Career Gap to Data Analyst at Barclays: Disha Gupta's Journey With The Skillians.
The Career Gap No One Warns You About
Finding The Skillians — and a Model That Actually Made Sense
The pay-after-placement model was the reason I trusted it. Skillians only got paid once I did.
How Skillians Helped Close the Gap — Not Just Explain It
1. Structured Upskilling
2. Internship Experience
That internship changed how interviewers looked at me. I wasn't 'the BBA graduate with a gap' anymore.
3. Relentless Mock Interview Practice
By the time I sat in front of Barclays, I'd already heard every hard question there was.
The Offer That Changed Everything
I went from having zero tech background and a resume gap I was embarrassed to talk about, to being a Data Analyst at one of the biggest banks in the world.
