Doing pretty well at the current firm and might be headed to the next level in fy22 or 23 max but feel like I need to move out and do something else as well. I can complain about my Pay, wlb, travel, ability to branch but all the same, I know I have a supportive network and can wiggle my way a little bit to make it more easier. I’m in the need of some expert opinions so debating who I can talk to and be open about my misgivings and not let it negatively effect myself. Thoughts?Where can I start?

What route would you guys take in my position?

Goal: Data Science/ML

1. UGA MSBA (likely free)
2. OMSCS/OMSA (possibly work FT aswell)
3. Work FT and find out what I really want to do

Context: Going into final year of MIS degree with CS minor at UGA. Really enjoying classes on hard skills, haven’t taken all the business side classes but so far not as interesting. Interning at KPMG for data analytics rn, haven’t gotten much useful experience. Family may have financial hardship soon.

I have been looking at the curriculums for Harvard Business School's Master of Business Administration and Harvard Extension School's Master's in Management.

If I am not able to gain admission to Harvard Business School, but wanted a similar educational experience to become a consultant, should I attend Harvard Extension?

Looking at exits into pharma and biotech. Have an opp at a biotech at the SM level. Total comp excluding equity is around $190k; RSUs vest over 4 years with annual refreshers, so first year equity would be around $6,200 and it would go up by $6,200 each of the next 3 years, plus whatever base bump I get. Very good benefits package.
