Are MBB/consulting experience + technical masters (e.g., data science, CS) ever complementary when looking at exit opps, or are they too different to overlap (or, in other words, will the former have been a waste of time if pursuing the latter)?

Sure, if you want to go for VP Analytics / Chief Analytics Officer / Chief Data Officer type roles at an F500 type company. If you want to be a lead Data Scientist at Big Tech or a data startup, a PhD is better. If you just want a Data Scientist role at an F500, you don't need any of that. What do you want to do?

Majority of my department has been informed we will need to look for other positions internally due to our jobs being outsourced. The timeframe for the full transition of all work to the vendors is approximately 6 months. This is the second time in 14 months I have had to look for another position due to outsourcing of work. Since I can only work remotely for my company due to location, is it best to resign or to hold out in hopes for a transition to another department?
