My path to being her has been somewhat not aligned. I have studied business, design, and finance and ended up in Integrations Consulting. I used to question myself and wonder if I am riding down the correct path because I didn't know it would lead to this opportunity, which I love dearly. Looking back at the journey, I can now say the education and the skills I gathered over the years are helping me grow in my current role and it now makes sense for everyone. Web Design course taught me the basics of HTML and CSS, which helped me to start with the basics of Integrations (Similar coding language, not the same) and helped develop a code logic acumen. The business degrees gave me the social skills for effective communication and finally, Finance probably paved the path to realization of how consulting is where I would be good at. A Year with Kognitv, and it all finally makes sense!

What do you like about your job and the company?

What I realized in my previous work experiences even though they were internships, I realized that the work that was being done was mundane and repetitive. Even my managers and seniors were doing the same work as an intern was doing which did not make sense to me. I wanted to be in a place where I am challenged, where I have to think before doing anything and approach every problem with a new solution. That is what working here at Kognitiv is like, and I love it! There's a challenge every day, which keeps my excitement up for the day, and at the end of the day you feel an accomplishment, you worked and delivered something that mattered and it fixed a problem for someone. And I don't have to worry about not having the solution to a problem, I know I have my colleagues having my back to whom I can turn if I am stuck, and someone with experience will always help me out!

Greatest achievements

I have exposure to multiple domains, which may not be from direct employment but I've learned many different things, I volunteered on a few projects, and completed internships at various organizations. I wanted to explore opportunities as I was new and wanted to figure out things through exploring. I've had experience in Coding, Graphic design, Finance, and International Business, even though these were great learning experiences, they never gave me a push to dedicate my career to these fields, it just felt incomplete. While joining Kognitiv, I had a lot of questions about myself, like is this the correct career path I want to pursue? If consulting is my niche ? I was totally new and had no clue about what I was getting into, I just saw some of my interests align, and boom I was in! Honestly, I have no idea where the last year went, but been here for 1 year working as an Associate Integrations Consultant, and I consider the decision to join Kognitiv and looking past all the fears and just trusting my gut as my greatest achievement!

You can’t be a know-it-all, so my advice is simple: Be a Lifelong Learner. Stay curious, keep exploring, and never be afraid to ask for help. My journey from an MBA in HR to diving into Workday Consulting has taught me that there’s always something new to learn. The key is to stay curious, ask questions, and keep growing because when you’re constantly learning, there’s no limit to what you can achieve!

I believe that being bold and being a risk taker is the main driver to success here. In reality, there are many WD consultants out there and not much separates one consultant from the other. The one thing that you have in your capacity is to be bold and to take risks in your solutions, consulting and interactions. Say yes when others have said no to something, go that extra mile to bend or shape the system to make it work for client needs. Ofcourse you must always manage expectations but taking that extra step to take initiative and problem solve when their is seemingly no solution out there will set you apart from others. This will build solid relationships with clients and help you highlight yourself at the organization and pave the way for growth.
