Been in strategy consulting for LS for c.4 years, now at a team lead role and c.1 year from Manager promotion at a very reputable firm - feels like I am stagnating in terms of skills (not industry knowledge, which I am growing)
Getting a Masters in Health Data Science has been buzzing in my mind for a while - though I am uncertain about the benefits of doing that (i.e., can I gain synergies out of strategy + data science in the long run for my career?) and conscious I am in my 30s.
Thoughts?

Do you want the knowledge or the credentials? If it's the former, you don't need a master's - almost everything can be found in online courses.

My job does not really allow time to do that, so if I were to go for something like this I would take a sabbatical, and at that point might as well get a credential?

Probably not helpful for anything other than scratching an itch. Don’t think it makes you a more desirable hire.

I have applied for a Generalist Associate role at McKinsey, and the recruiter came back to me offering instead to interview for an "Associate, Marketing & Sales" position. I don't exactly understand what that entails. Could anyone give me information on the difference Generalist vs. Marketing & Sales? Will I still be performing strategy work?
