The employer on the left offers to pay you $100 a week. In return, you\u2019ll need to consistently put in five hours of work per day without a hitch. If you stick with it, you\u2019ll get a 10 percent raise that compounds weekly. The employer on the right, meanwhile, offers to pay $900 a week, and you\u2019ll only need to work five hours per day, <em>on average<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Say that you take the first offer. In two months, you\u2019ll be looking at $1,256 of earnings. That\u2019s around $5,944 less than the $7,200 you could\u2019ve earned if you took the second offer. In this scenario, you might be beating yourself up, thinking you made a mistake. What if we fast forward to a year later?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-earning-more-through-udacity\">Earning More Through Udacity&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to calculate your would-be earnings for the second offer. Simply multiply $900 by 52 weeks and you\u2019ll get $46,800. Now, what about the first offer? In addition to the 10 percent raise compounded weekly, you\u2019d get $58,132. That puts you a step above what you would\u2019ve earned had you chosen the second offer, and even further as your earnings increase week by week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the compounding effect. In a nutshell, if you do a small action repeatedly, you\u2019ll get a cumulative and compounding effect over time. It\u2019s this effect that edtech company <a href=\"https:\/\/imp.i115008.net\/yn26G\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Udacity<\/a> swears by.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its promise goes like this: if you enroll in one of <a href=\"https:\/\/imp.i115008.net\/gbP33O\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Udacity\u2019s Nanodegree programs<\/a> and commit at least five hours of your week to study, your technical knowledge builds. Eventually, you\u2019ll have a repertoire of skills that can help you launch a career in tech.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bonus: you don\u2019t need to wait a year to reap the benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-upskilling-with-udacity\">Upskilling with Udacity&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh4.googleusercontent.com\/0SI4Rraxns2IoUz5ZLvzHdnDhN-mMtKJDylDYbZgIq_DNwM2v2vX_fbIpP6kFh3DJXH31UV4vlWmmEXz95lkdOq2S-yjP_77rvQ1FXYX8J-07d6lnnV3hwxYquEtXcjA8FYOk9Vg\" alt=\"Infographic for Katie Gamanji\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2018, computer science graduate Pranav Prajapati came to the US to pursue his master\u2019s in business intelligence and analytics. \u201cI came here not thinking too much about what I want to work on or where I want to work,\u201d said Pranav. \u201cI simply wanted to pursue such an amazing opportunity to further my studies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As time passed, however, Pranav grew keen to learn further and faster. \u201cI had decided to get into the job market after my nine-month period since coming to the US. As an international student, I was only allowed to work off-campus after nine months of studying,\u201d he said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eager to find ways to upskill quickly, Pranav attended tech conferences. \u201cI heard the words \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/preparing-for-a-coding-bootcamp\/\">coding bootcamp<\/a>\u2019 thrown a lot&#8230;but a bootcamp is a huge commitment. I was already doing the graduate degree. Also, I was looking for something that I can afford to pay without taking out a loan or an income share agreement.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was around this time that he came across Udacity. \u201cI already had a computer science background and I had good exposure to the kind of work done in data science and AI so I wanted to expand on what I already had.\u201d While earning his graduate degree, Pranav took on another challenge. He enrolled in <a href=\"https:\/\/imp.i115008.net\/P2yZR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Udacity\u2019s Data Engineering Nanodegree program<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is no company doing the same kind of model and offering the same features as Udacity&#8230;There\u2019s Udemy but, for me, its quality is not at the same level as Udacity. I guess there\u2019s also Coursera, although Coursera is more about bringing academia to the digital space,\u201d said Pranav.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUdacity is in a different segment altogether. It\u2019s unique.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-inside-the-unique-classrooms-of-udacity\">Inside the Unique Classrooms of Udacity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The first law of motion states that an object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an outside force. In the same way, knowledge will remain static unless continually built upon by other blocks of knowledge. Knowledge, like interest, compounds and it is this philosophy of perpetual knowledge-building that Udacity strives to instill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/1hz0urLBI4B1ET7Uc88IlzfHMYp9hD5MwM1B5B1kfBIo1fcndhLDwhfBoWCZExPB0tZ1ug2fvUte0R-NtOUPaWAmtt26zdUIWVLUxIvFs6dC6pbgzfMrBQDlVEyqmVV_Y8A6tQ6E\" alt=\"Infographic for Katie Gamanji\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHonestly, because the courses at Udacity are limited, that means I don\u2019t have the infinite time to introduce my students to all of the special concepts of the field,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/katie-gamanji\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Katie Gamanji<\/a>, an instructor for Udacity\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/imp.i115008.net\/zaxXXW\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cloud Native Application Architecture Nanodegree program<\/a> and the ecosystem advocate of Linux Foundation\u2019s CNCF.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHowever, the courses should be able to equip them with the fundamentals of the field. And that\u2019s really how it works. Once you have a good base, you can just build on top of it. So, the lessons within the courses are structured with this kind of mindset at the center,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nine years since Udacity first came on the edtech scene, it\u2019s managed to roll out over 60 Nanodegree programs. Each of these programs falls under one of Udacity\u2019s seven schools of expertise. You can choose among Udacity\u2019s programming, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, data science, autonomous systems, cybersecurity, and <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/udacity-business-nanodegrees\/\">business Nanodegree programs<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The programs last between two and six months, making them ideal for students like Pranav, upskilling professionals, and career-switchers. In that time, <a href=\"https:\/\/imp.i115008.net\/n1Xjj9\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Udacity\u2019s veteran instructors<\/a> work to galvanize the key concepts of their fields and teach the students the main ideas. In Katie\u2019s words, \u201cIt\u2019s much more practical than writing a wiki doc.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, how does this play out in the classroom?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-udacity-course-curriculum\">Udacity Course Curriculum<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor my class, I like to give an overview of the main topics, split it into usually no more than three main domains, and then dive deep into every single domain,\u201d said Katie. \u201cI like to structure it.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think there are so many resources out there but, for me, it\u2019s not about just having sufficient resources. It\u2019s about how you provide them for the students to digest\u2026If they understand what happens within this sphere, they will easily be able to build on top of it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor example, there are hundreds of tools within the cloud native ecosystem. The purpose is not to understand all of them. The purpose is to understand what kind of problems they try to solve,\u201d she said.<br><br>\u201cCloud native is all about interoperability which means you have multiple solutions for the same problem. So as long as you understand what Kubernetes tries to solve, for instance, then you\u2019ll be able to deep dive into other tools and platforms too.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnother thing that I like doing is keeping a sturdy line. I\u2019m not just going to introduce tool A and tool B, for example. Instead, I\u2019m going to introduce tool A in integration with tool B. So there\u2019s always going to be a connection between the dots. Nothing is left out of nowhere. There\u2019s structure and within that, I weave a story.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\u201cIt\u2019s highly practical. It\u2019s very down-to-earth. And again, it really equips you with the fundamentals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pranav agrees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-project-based-learning\">Project-Based Learning<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe projects and the hands-on work that Udacity incorporates were really helpful,\u201d said Pranav. \u201cThere were exercises that we needed to do before we could get onto the projects. In terms of assessments, not only did they review the projects, but they also checked the code and how well I documented my stuff. Those were really important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Udacity\u2019s rigorous instruction paid off. \u201cJust as when I was about to graduate from the university, somebody picked my project which I worked on as my Data Engineering Nanodegree capstone,\u201d said Pranav.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo, somebody read the report online and they approached me and said, \u2018We have a similar data engineering warehouse implementation. Are you free this semester for a spring co-op at KIND?\u2019 Just like that, I was able to work in a spring co-op. That really helped me a lot because KIND is really popular,\u201d he said, referring to the billion-dollar worth snack company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKIND has a million orders every day, so they always want to tweak their data engineering infrastructure. What\u2019s interesting is that in Udacity\u2019s Data Engineering Nanodegree, there were parts where the instructors talked about how you should deal with problems when data just scales up,\u201d said Pranav.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBasically as a company grows, the data infrastructure and all the analytics tools also need to measure and scale up. This was something that was acknowledged in Udacity and one of the best things I learned over there\u2014the hypothetical scenarios which can actually happen in real life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-udacity-s-compounding-effect\">Udacity\u2019s Compounding Effect<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After completing his internship at KIND, Pranav secured a data scientist role at Verisk Analytics, a member of S&amp;P 500 and Fortune 1000 companies. \u201cCurrently I\u2019m working on global political risk analysis,\u201d said Pranav.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo, say a company wants to start a project in maybe a place like Istanbul, Turkey. They can use our product and see possible risks in the area. Is there any problem with the labor rights, for example? So, we scrape the Internet and we find out how much risk there is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pranav\u2019s series of accomplishments represents two things: the importance of his willingness to learn and Udacity\u2019s compounding effect. \u201cTo best prepare for a Udacity program, the answer is honestly not in something that\u2019s so deeply rooted with having the technical skills,\u201d said Katie. \u201cIt\u2019s more about a student\u2019s willingness to learn.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe courses are already well-equipped with all the information and resources that they need to go further. So, I think if there\u2019s actually an appetite to understand the topics and get involved, they\u2019ll be able to get what they need,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s this appetite to learn that sparked Pranav\u2019s rise to success. He took on Udacity\u2019s Nanodegree program and stuck with the program. Every week, he put in the time and work needed to complete the coursework.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All of it culminated in his capstone project, which later served as the gateway to multiple opportunities. He scored a co-op placement at a massive company such as KIND and eventually secured a full-time job at a renowned financial data services company such as Verisk Analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bonus: he didn\u2019t have to wait a year to reap such benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-starting-a-new-career-with-udacity\">Starting a New Career with Udacity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe tools, the methodology, and the approach. These are the things that I like at Udacity,\u201d said Katie. \u201cUdacity has a way of embracing different ways of study. I\u2019m a practitioner. So, getting hands-on is what helps me to understand a tool.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut then, there\u2019s not only that. There\u2019s also learning by watching a video, reading different texts, and visiting pages online. Udacity has everything in a package,\u201d she said. Pranav added: \u201cApart from all that, Udacity has a <a href=\"https:\/\/imp.i115008.net\/6byXqb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">career section<\/a> where you go through three or four practice interviews and <a href=\"https:\/\/imp.i115008.net\/OReo5r\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">LinkedIn and resume reviews<\/a>, which I found really helpful.\u201d<br><br>\u201cAt the university, it wasn\u2019t that holistic. It is more focused on the course. It\u2019s very structured and it\u2019s very rigid also. There\u2019s little room for flexibility. With Udacity, it\u2019s the opposite.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe thing is some people question the cost of the programs at Udacity,\u201d said Pranav. \u201cIt\u2019s not cheap, yes, but if you do it in the number of months they recommend, it\u2019s a win for you in the long term because you\u2019ll learn a lot and you\u2019ll be able to make use of this.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cInvesting in Udacity pays huge dividends.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Does that sound like an investment you\u2019d be willing to bet on?
