Leaving the Safety of TCS for Something Bigger: Anurag's Story

Before the Switch#

TCS is a safe place to build a career. The work is steady, the brand is strong, and the job security is real. Anurag Malik had all of that as an I.T Analyst and he chose to leave it behind for something more demanding and more rewarding. Publicis Sapient is a different kind of company, one where engineers are expected to be technically sharp, constantly growing, and capable of delivering at a consulting level that rivals the best in the industry.

To compete for that kind of role, Anurag knew he needed to be more than a generalist. He needed to be a Spring Boot specialist.

The Point Where Things Had to Change#

Upskilling while working full-time at a demanding company like TCS is not easy. There are projects, deadlines, meetings, and the everyday weight of a job that does not pause because you have decided to learn something new. Anurag did it anyway. He enrolled in Coding Shuttle's Spring Boot Course and treated it with the same seriousness he brought to his professional responsibilities.

The weekly assignments kept him accountable. The doubt forums gave him a place to work through confusion. And the project-based curriculum made sure that what he was learning was not theoretical but immediately applicable.

Where Coding Shuttle Came In#

What stood out to Anurag about the Coding Shuttle course was how it handled complexity. Dependency Injection, REST APIs, Spring Security, JPA, Hibernate, microservices: these are not simple topics. The course broke them down in a way that felt gradual and logical, never overwhelming, always building on what came before. For someone moving from a service-based IT role into product-level consulting, that kind of structured depth was exactly what the transition required.

In Anurag's Own Words#

"Anuj Bhaiya's teaching style is often praised for breaking down complex topics like Dependency Injection, REST APIs, and Spring Security into easily digestible lessons. The course also introduces advanced topics such as JPA, Hibernate, and microservices in a gradual, well-structured way that avoids overwhelming learners. Another standout feature is the supportive doubt forum and mentor guidance, where learners can clarify their questions. The weekly homework assignments also help reinforce what has been covered during the sessions, ensuring mastery of the topics."

Where He Stands Today#

Anurag Malik is now a Senior Associate Technology at Publicis Sapient in Noida. He took a stable career, decided it was not the ceiling he wanted, and put in the work to find a better one. His detailed and analytical review of the course reflects the kind of engineer he is: someone who does not just use tools but understands how and why they work.
