Datacamp is great but they don’t get into the maths of ML algos if you’re interested. Mostly very practical things that can be applied to work quickly - e.g. methods for df manipulation, matplotlib visualization stuff

I’ve posted this before but really recommend the O’Reilly unlimited subscription

There are a number of guided tutorials that you’d get at DataQuest and DataCamp but you also get the full suite of books. I’ve found this far more useful than data camp

I’m assuming you’re starting from scratch. Highly recommend starting with the Kaggle microcourses. First with Python programming and then Machine Learning. Free, easy to follow, and decently hands on. Once you learn the basics, start finding resources online for different types of analyses and methods you can practice (logistic regression, binary classification, k-means clustering etc). If you want to learn the mathematical/theoretical basis for the methods, there are some good courses by 365 Data Science on Udemy

Have the opportunity to join a startup consultancy as a Product Manager and move away from the big 4.

Going to be employee 15 as opposed to an org with ~650K employees.

Same pay. A LOT of growth opportunity. Less overall benefits, but I think the experience will net me out to be a Director in just a year or two within the org, and a lot of potential to move out from there.

I'm slightly terrified, but the team feels awesome, and they have some big clients.
