Do we really need to learn coding in R / Python to remain competitive in the future? Or this will always be a grunt work that will done by analysts while we provide strategic services to our client?

Soon? Check history of languages, they tend to be around (and dominate) for a long time - span often as long as your career.

Depends on what you want to do. There's the old guard - the consultants and such. If you ask them then this is all just tech stuff.

Then there's the whole tech industry which has subsumed (and continues to subsume) whole other industries. If you ask them, this is critical. They don't care much for your excel skills.

+1 to that. Excel is grunt work too. But if you thought it important to know how to use excel then you should think the same about Python

Good to learn, but some other language will replace these soon. Like the newman character in seinfeld says “the mail never stops, it just keeps coming and coming and coming"

Could be completely wrong, but I've always been of the mindset that you should know enough about technology (or coding) that you can speak in terms that tech folks understand and can frame so non tech people understand. So I'm aiming for that level of proficiency.

Confused. Thoughts?

^That is non negotiable in my opinion as well. I am talking about getting into coding at a more deeper level. I know R and can quickly run lasso regressions or plot fun stuff. But there is much more than that. Like checking gradient values in a convolutions neural network and making decisions. I am torn on that front whether the effort is worth it

I’ll make someone else do the hard work

My ability to code has saved my projects, cumulatively, probably about about a man-year of labor; mostly data -related problems I was able to fix with a quick script

As a functional person who is interested in learning Python, what are a couple use cases where it could be applied?

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.

I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!
