Has anyone who is already a data scientist done the OMSA program at Georgia Tech? I’ve been doing online courses on coursera to learn deep learning and time series analysis. However, I feel like I need something more rigorous so I truly get it. I’m hoping to solidify my data science skills and advance my career. I probably can get promoted without it but no sure if I can make it to the manager level without it. Anyways, is this a good idea?

GT’s omsa has great value but most classes are survey style (learn a new topic every lesson, apply that in a weekly assignment, move on). You rarely get a class where you really dive in.

An alternative I’ve heard great things about that may be more aligned to your goal is UT-Austin’s MS in Data Science, I heard their classes for the program are super math heavy.

This isn’t accurate for all the classes. The intro classes are like this but the more challenging ones (DO, CDA, HDDA, Simulation) dive deep into individual topics.

Would love to hear thoughts on best approach of you are a senior associate at V10 firm. Do you just become counsel until they tell you that partnership is not in the cards or do you try to hop to the first partnership (equity, or at least NEP with clear progression to equity if you bring in some business) opportunity at a say V50 firm. I’m not home grown at my current firm, but do have a small book currently.
