Bro. Master of Business Analytics is a scam. No one cares about the degree and they are all always unemployed or making like $90K.

Only makes sense to do an analytics masters degree if your company is paying for it or you choose a super cheap option like Georgia Tech. Experience + Masters is the key.

There are very few companies left that actually pay for tuition. Also, when they pay your tuition, they expect service in return. For some, it is like a bond or a year or two.

Dumb post..like anything it depends on where you go and what you make out of it. If you go to a business analytics masters at Cornell or Harvard..yes you are most likely to benefit greatly from it. If you go to a no name school outcomes will differ.

Yeah, where you graduate from, does count as well! But in this field, experience matters!

I have that degree and make $230k with 6 YOE. But I also went to a top five school.

Preach.

I have my MBA with biz analytics focus. I can tell you its not a scam. I have done quite well with it. I got additional certs in data science and deep learning and took roles that were analytics based. The experience is more important, but the masters will set you above the rest. That being said, ITS HARD in the analytics space. Lots of competition now. Almost need a masters in analytics/comp sci/data sci/math/stats to actually get to a decent level. And also, never pay for it yourself, unless its one of the cost effective programs like georgia tech analytics or boulder data sci/comp sci masters (both under 15k I think) Otherwise, most masters aren't worth it, really need your company to pay for it, or at least a good chunk of it.

Hi friends,

I'm a new joinee in MSFT.

People in my team they don't come with me for breaks. (They blame the timings are different since they sit in crits but i don't think so because they have their own group of friends to go with)

Secondly, when my team members see me in cafeteria we expect they'll sit with us but people here are being rude they directly go and sit with their friends they don't call you to join. ( atleast they could have said they are accompanied)

People behave unpleasant

I know everyone will have different answers for this but how did you know it was time to get sober? I think it might be time for me to find a new job and pursue sobriety, but I don't feel like I'm a rock bottom which is the only time I've ever seen people really commit to it (my father). Apathy isn't the right word but I just kind of feel numb about everything and I think being sober would maybe help.

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.

Senior to Manager-level Data Scientists, what is the minimum set of skills and experience you require someone to have in order to train them to be a Data Scientist?

I have a handful of people from BI and Marketing who want to learn how to be a "Data Scientist" where some of them have stronger SQL knowledge and ability than others, but some of them have more exposure to languages like Python and R, and a little bit of machine learning exposure.

Appreciate the input in advance.

I have 5 YOE in Analytics... always thought I wanted to be a DS, but every job (even the junior ones) required experience in ML development. Though I am part of the ML project, I'm not the person develop the model. And I have a hard time when the interviewer ask about how I develop the model and what hyperparameters I tuned. I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.
