Fadilat Akintayo: New Mum (Working Below Skill Level) → Senior Business Analyst at South Australian Company

Fadilat was a new mum with a new baby, and she blew everyone's mind. Imagine a new mother with a newborn giving it her very best — showing up and in some instances rocking the baby on camera while presenting her project. No excuses given when she had plenty to give.

There were moments you could tell she was exhausted, but she kept at it. Her message was clear: "I'm trying not to work in jobs below my skill level anymore. It's time to move."

One thing that holds true: if you commit to the process, there's an outcome awaiting you — so long as you do not give up. Fadilat committed fully, and the result was a Senior Business Analyst title.

The emotional moment came when she shared the news with her father, telling him to get ready to start calling her a Senior Business Analyst. Seeing that come to reality is a reminder of why SyncSkills exists.

Her journey started in January and ended with a six-figure Senior Business Analyst offer in September, right in the heart of South Australia. Thank you Fadilat for reminding everyone that despite the challenges that come with being a parent, this was absolutely doable.
