Can I choose master of cs(data science) instead of an mba and advance to the same kind of role that an mba grad would have open to them? I just feel like the skills are more practical, thoughts

IMO and my experience, MBB partners / leaders almost all have MBAs. MSCS is very valuable, but if your goal is to make partner focus on the business side, not the technical. If you want to cap out at SM and move to industry, MSCS is probably just as good as MBA (assuming comparable levels of prestige)

Not for us. First, advanced degree isn’t required to be partner. That said, most partners have MBA, PhD, JD, or MD degrees. Non-MBA masters really aren’t valued highly

Agree with the others. If you want to make partner, MBA is the only option. However, if you’re thinking of a pivot to tech, I’d argue that a mscs may be better. My 0.02

If you do that then shoot for CEO of some company. Many of them have engineering backgrounds. But consulting partner is more tailored for MBAs. Either way data science is a good move if you have the interest.

No
