Georgia Tech OMSCS vs OMSA?

I am a recent grad working in tech and thinking about applying to one of the two programs in order to transition into Data Science (preferably consulting then probably industry). I am interested in both program so I am so torn right now. OMSA offers more stats math courses and CS offers more ML courses.

I have a BA in English literature and MS in MIS.

Which one is more relevant to DS daily work in consulting/industry and more attainable for my background?

I have masters in both BA and CS, but not from GT.

Stats carries farther than ML long term because you learn ML anyway, but understand more theory. But. A good non-ML CS understanding will set you apart in DS and open doors for MLE work.

If I was to redo my education, I'd go with a CS degree and front load stats classes in it as electives however I could.

Even if EY matches my salary, and promote me to Manager, I will be an EY Manager with a Deloitte SC salary, and probably won't be able to go to D in the future. What do you think?

My current title is the latter and I’m interviewing for a Principal role.

The only nuance I got from the recruiter is that there is no actual designing in this role.

Is this a case of title inflation?
