[Bagdat.Iltuzirov]

Hello, my name is Bagdat.
I have two university degrease, one of them - it's Petroleum geology engineer, and the second one - bachelor degree in finance.
I was working more than 10 years in the sphere of petroleum industry.
Then after emigration to the USA in 2020, I started my small business - preparation center for amazon sellers.
I have been involved in this business for the last three years, but I was not the best businessman, thats why I decided to start from scratch.
I chose QA because I think my extensive analytical experience gained from the oil sector will help me to achieve success here and reach the level of manager in the next 5 years.

1. What is your education?

• I achieve 2 incomplete bachelor's degree in Law and Business management due to my career started grow rapidly and I have been faced the choice between a company need and my career and education, so I choose company and my career.

2. What is your work expirenece:

• My last and highest position was Private Bank Branch manager in "bank_name". As a leader in mind I can achieve high results for the company in perfect and worst times of the business climate, such as covid-19 panic on the market and subsequent growth of it. Due to my experrenece in private banking I am cleary understand the meaning of customer satifaction and importance of this for the company and its business results. Before that I had experienece in FMCG sector of Kidzania Company as a universal staff and manager, and when I change my career for the first time consistent growth in my bank career from universal banker to investement manager and bank branch manager. All the time it took a lot of time to be enough educated for the new roles and new opportunities. I also has expirenece in manufactoring and e-commerce business as a founder, which I received at my first immigration to Ukraine. I started a production, understood the laws of the new country, design and implemented web-site and promote products on my own and this business became super successful, accoirding to the Rozetka data (Ukrainian Amazon) we became the most sell product in our category in all the country in the first Christmas season.

3. Why career change?

• I love my career in banks and business experience, but challenging times require us to be flexible and willing to make difficult decisions. Now I am staying in front of two ways: spend minimum 5 years to restore just a half of my previous opportunities or choose a new way with a new opportunities to grow in a new sphere. QA testing and IT provides opportunities to start a career in IT, and these skills are universal, which means my expeirence and projects represents me as a proffesional.

4. Why QA?

• This position seems to me an excellent entry point into the world of IT. I have a relatively quick opportunity to gain valuable experience and then consistently develop in new areas of this field, receiving the required education in parallel with my work. And in the future, identify those areas of development in this area that will be most interesting to me. For example, move into application development or the development of artificial intelligence.

5. How do you see yourself in 5 years?

• Over the course of all 5 years, I see myself gaining practical knowledge in projects in accordance with the current level of education in the IT field, as well as obtaining the required education in the vector and trajectory of development I have chosen in this sector. Thus, I cannot say exactly the level that I will be able to achieve in 5 years, but I see myself in the direction of an application developer, but in the near future I am focused on early employment after training as a QA tester and subsequent automation training. To become a professional in any field, you first need to gain knowledge, then you need to practice it, only after which the level of a master is reached and therefore the door to new opportunities opens.

I started studying and working in this field, and I really liked it!!! I'm happy to do challenging but interesting tasks. The experience that I previously gained in my life is invaluable for a QA engineer. I am a task-focused and people-tolerant person.
