ZS Decision Analytics Associate or ACN CDP?
For some background, both offers are around the same and both are in a similar cost of living area.
My main goals are to potentially switch to a strategy role in MBB in the future, career growth opportunities, and good WLB would be nice as well. I have no interests in any industry but I know each has their niche. How would staying at each company for the long term look like ? Any advice is appreciated.

Had a few questions about Quantum Black / BCG Gamma.
1. Do QB Data Scientists, also have schedules of waking up at 4, reaching the client at 9 and working until 11 PM? How do you even write code when you're sleep deprived ?
2. Do you use MacBooks or do you also use Windows like normal consultants
3. Can people with degrees in Business Analytics actually get into QuantumBlack ?
4. How is the work of a data scientist in tech different? (apart from new projects each 3 months)
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
