From System Admin to MongoDB DBA: Pitabash Mishra's Journey to a 10 LPA Dream Job
Student Story | DataXSchool Learning Centre – Bhubaneswar Branch
When your career feels stuck and opportunities seem limited, all it takes is the right guidance and a willingness to learn something new. That’s exactly what happened to me — Pitabash Mishra — and I’m proud to share my story to inspire others on a similar path.
The Struggle: 4 Years as a System Admin with Low Salary
After completing my graduation, I started working as a System Administrator. For four long years, I gave my best in that role, hoping for growth, recognition, and better pay. Unfortunately, my career was stagnant, and I was earning a low salary with limited prospects. It became clear that I needed a change — not just a new job, but a complete career transformation.
The Turning Point: Discovering DataXSchool and Srikanta Sir
One day, I came across DataXSchool Learning Centre, Bhubaneswar. While exploring more about their courses, I was introduced to Srikanta Patra Sir, one of the leading mentors at the Bhubaneswar branch. After a detailed discussion, he helped me realize that Database Administration (DBA) — particularly in MongoDB — was a high-demand skill with excellent career opportunities.
His honest guidance and in-depth knowledge gave me the confidence to take the leap.
The Learning Phase: MongoDB DBA Course (4 Months)
I enrolled in the MongoDB DBA course offered by DataXSchool and committed myself to learning with full focus. The course lasted 4 months and was a mix of:
-
Real-time practical sessions
-
Live projects
-
Interview preparation
-
1-on-1 mentorship sessions
-
Industry-oriented curriculum
Srikanta Sir and the faculty ensured I not only learned the technical skills but also gained the confidence to crack interviews.
The Breakthrough: Placed at IFTAS with 10 LPA
After completing the course, I started attending interviews. Within a short time, I received an offer from IFTAS (Indian Financial Technology & Allied Services) for the role of MongoDB DBA with a package of 10 LPA — in Hyderabad!
From a low-paying System Admin role to a respected DBA position with a high salary, it truly felt like a dream come true.
Final Words: Thank You, DataXSchool & Srikanta Sir
This journey wouldn’t have been possible without the right mentorship and platform. I am deeply thankful to Srikanta Patra Sir and the entire team at DataXSchool Bhubaneswar for changing the course of my career and my life.
To all those who feel stuck in their current job — don’t wait for change. Create it. Learn. Upskill. Transform.
