I looked into it a while back, but chose to forgo it due to the fact they have no stream of employers that recruit specifically for the program. The cost is high and the examples they had were people that already had a job were skilling up to move around with a lack of decent alumnus that you could lean on. Maybe in time, but not at this premium price now.

Iv heard good things but don’t think it’s worth the $ unless your company is gonna pay. I am starting Georgia techs OMSCS in the fall instead, my company (not EY) will pay but the 10k price is cheap enough that it’s no big deal if I decide I want to leave and had to pay it back

The responses above don’t surprise me (Berkeley Stat undergrad). Data Science is a new department at Berkeley and doesn’t really have a track record yet. But, it’s Berkeley, I’d be shocked if the degree didn’t open new opportunities. Up to you on the cost/benefit

Berkeley stats here too!! Go Bears 🐻

Hi everybody,

Looking for some insight/curious to hear how others would handle this situation:

I have an offer I want to accept; I was trying to negotiate for a signing bonus… but they’re not budging.

The issue is, the start date is in a month and I’m up for a promotion in a week at my current company. I would like to leave before I get promoted, I think it would be pretty low of me to accept and promptly quit.

Not the new employer’s problem? Or can/should I try to leverage this?
