Hello team. Quick question. I would like to go back to school for my Masters in either data science or data analytics(work is reimbursing anyways, might as well add it to my belt). I started enjoying using tools to read data, understand the meaning behind them, and apply that in a business setting. I would like to find out the best path to transition to a data scientist or analyst role? Which Masters would you recommend between MS in data analytics and MS in data science. I am not big on coding

As you mentioned, an MS in data analytics would be helpful in the business setting.

Thank you for the insight I really appreciate it.

Probably analytics. Data science is going to be bigger on coding. I don’t like coding either but you’ll have to do some at some point regardless of the program you pick

Thank you for the insight. I really appreciate it

When decideing between data analytics and data science, one thing I always emphasize is comfort with coding. If you are not big on coding or is just starting out and feels overwhelmed by programming then I usually recommend starting with data analytics

I’ve got about 20 years cross channel experience in marketing, split between big brands and startups, and I’m considering pivoting into a data science/data analyst role. I know it will initially be a step back in comp but is it at all realistic for a person with certificate level experience in data analysis but a decent marketing management background to expect $150-200k comp or is that mostly for degreed candidates (or not realistic at all)? Any guidance here is greatly appreciated.
