University of Texas has an online program that is 10 courses, $1000 per course. That's $10k for entire program from a top school. I believe Georgia Tech has a similar offering that is even cheaper. Both will be very hard to get into I'm sure.

I have 5 YOE in Analytics... always thought I wanted to be a DS, but every job (even the junior ones) required experience in ML development. Though I am part of the ML project, I'm not the person develop the model. And I have a hard time when the interviewer ask about how I develop the model and what hyperparameters I tuned. I know the thought process and stuff but 'I' wasn't the one who did that part in the project. How to convince them that I could do the job without taking credit of others.
