I am deciding between an online masters in data science and an online masters of analytics, specifically GT’s OMSA. Will a degree in DS be that much more beneficial when trying to get a DS role?

Not really
Real world experience craps on postgraduate degrees for data space (especially online)

No, not saying I agree but no reputable consulting firm cares about an online degree. If you want to do it then go for it, but you won’t see any change in pay. Why not go for your MBA and have a quant heavy concentration

To clarify, I am already in the analytics space working in strategy and analytics. I want to get more technical as all my technical knowledge is self taught and have been struggling to get to the next level without a formal system.

My concern with OMSCS is I have no formal education in CS. Not even one class lol. Everything g I know about python was self learned

I’ve been verbally offered a position at a new company, but the recruiter insists on getting a verbal acceptance before sending the offer in writing. This person insists on negotiating salary before sending the paperwork. Generic benefits, RSUs, bonus info have been provided; it’s all unofficial.

This is absurd. Am I missing some “new way” of doing things? Your take?
