Anyone here that completed Udacity data analyst nano degree program? I feel that it would be a great way to get into the DataAnalytics practice or find exit opportunities in the industry? Thoughts? I am a first year Senior Consultant.

Great insight here, been doing SAP for over 5 years and now realized the market is over saturated (more supply, less demand) . The projects are not money spinners anymore and hence, the pay/demand for consultants has dropped. I've enrolled into a couple of data science courses in the hope for a career switch but I'm really not sure how to rebrand myself without resetting my career clock. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

Experience was good and it'll definitely add valuable skils to your arsenal. Not sure if it's marketable though. All I heard when I mention that to interviewers was 'good for you' sort of comments. Rest is upto how well you do in the interview. Within EY I am yet to meet people with similar skillset. The max people do here is SQL or Tableau related. May be that's just client requirement driven.

True that. I am kind of surprised at the level of skillset that we hire. None of them have any solid skills. The new way forward is analytics, machine learning and AI. We should be hiring these people. The whole generation who knew SAP, excel and PowerPoint are going away. We (people in 20s and 30s) are going to have tough competition from Gen Z etc. especially since they learn programming in elementary schools nowadays.
