Etienne | Data Analyst

Etienne is a Data Analytica graduate. He took part in the programme in London and graduated in June 2023.

Beforehand, he spent 15 years working in hospitality, but was looking for a change that provided a more stable income and routine. In Etienne’s own words:

“Although I enjoyed my hospitality career, it took its toll on my health and life in general. I wanted to find something more suited to a normal rhythm of life.

After my last job ended, I looked at the options for my next career move. The Job Centre first introduced me to Generation. When I saw they were running a DA program, I applied and never looked back!

Very quickly in the bootcamp I realised being a Data Analyst was my true calling, and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of the course. It really felt to me like a life-changing experience.

Our tutor was not only one of the best teachers I’ve worked with, letting us make mistakes and finding solutions together, he was also a fantastic mentor, supporting me throughout, and sending me job offers specific to my skills… I felt like all the staff at Generation were fully committed to helping me and my cohort colleagues succeed.

The company I am now working for has very similar values to Generation, where the onus is on trying to all work together to make 4most as successful as possible. I feel looked after, and in the best possible conditions to be successful in my new career.

I now have a better life balance, I’m doing something I’m truly passionate about, and I have better financial opportunities… [my job also offers] the opportunity to apply to a private medical insurance, which will help me address my recurring back problems.

[Generation] helped me find my true calling, which is probably the best thing I could have hoped for.”

After graduating, Etienne secured a job as a Credit Risk Analyst at 4most, where he continues in his role.
