Hi everyone. I come from delivery/project program management background and am trying to pivot to data & analytics. I know I will never be as good as other technical folks in this field but I know I can more than manage delivery and PM work. Do Managers/SMs in D&A typically have a strong data background? Trying to see what kind of skills I should be focusing on to make this pivot. Thanks.

Depends on the firm. In Accenture you could be a generic d/l with a strong team. In consulting, you need to have background to lead the tean

I’m seriously contemplating taking a software development boot camp. For those who hire new software developers, does it make you stand out if you get your certificate from a university instead of a coding academy (like coding dojo or something)? I noticed the universities are a bit more expensive but is it worth the price to have a university on your resume or does it not really matter?
