Hi, I’m an undergrad majoring in economics. I’m now a junior and couldn’t find an intern for summer. I am thinking applying to a one year graduate program in business analytics so I get more skills built up. Could anyone give me some advice about whether this is doable? I’m hesitating because I haven’t really taken much programming classes and most my coding skills are built up by doing research. Same with math. Thanks in advance!!

Have you ever considered going for a statistics master or a hard core Econ master with a focus on the quantitative side? Those mat be better suited for what you want to do and looks better on resume than an business analytics master

I majored in Marketing undergrad and never considered myself a math or coding person but I started a one year Business Analytics program this year and have loved it and have been doing well in my classes! If you are interested in analytics and willing to work hard to learn the new material, I highly recommend!

I joined IBM around year ago.
i have 9 YOE and i was given band 7A saying its lead role.
However in project i was treated as team member l. Initially i was okay as i thought i will be familiar with environment and later will take more responsibility.
But then they gave me release after few months.
No hike also this year.
Future also seems unclear as i feel low self-esteem seeing collegues my experience earning well and having better roles.
I really think joining IBM was wrong decision.
