Depends if you’re any good at business analytics

If you learn the skills and apply them it will. Otherwise no

You can use it as a career pivot, to a different industry/firm. Would likely not increase comp as a consultant since Masters in Business Analytics graduates participate in undergrad recruitment.

Agree with what someone else said - may help you pivot to industry, but it is important to really know what you're doing beyond the conceptual/academic level and can demonstrate that you know how to actually add business value with relevant analyses rather than the coolest new tech stacks or models.

Are there any programs that are up and upcoming in this space?
