I have 15+ years of experience in data warehouse, business intelligence and in descriptive analytics and have 3+ years of leadership experience along with strong business domain knowledge. How can I pivot my leadership experience to data science ? I do not have statistics or predictive modeling experience.

Any reason why data science? Product analytics or marketing analytics may be a better fit. It'll be hard to hop to data science, especially at a leadership level, without modeling experience.

I believe data science/big data analytics combining with AI will be the future. Hence would like to stay on top of the current industry trend. Do you think data science boot camp or masters in data science would help?

Too me you have the hard components down. You can probably get certified quickly to engross yourself in what it will be like in a few weeks. You’ll probably sell yourself better after that

I agree with the commenter before me. It seems you've bagged the skills anyway. I think you can tailor your resume to reflect that using terms that align with data science for your application then expound on how you'll adjust well upon onboarding since you already have your foundation set during the job interview.

I’m glad you asked how, I lead a DS team.

You have the foundation, now you need to learn both data strategy and modeling, I don’t mean you need to learn how to write code to run a multivariate regression model in Python or R, I mean you need to understand when to direct a data scientist to run one. See your business domain knowledge is the most valuable part, most data scientists don’t have that and the one’s that do don’t often end up in advertising on the ad agency side. The when to run a model, what to input in it as far as just variables go, what the model needs to achieve.. these are the things that are most valuable. The coding element is the first leg to get solved for by AGI anyway. Good luck, we need people like you to go this route. Lots to read up on, go with books like the Model Thinker, fantastic read that you can go through section by section.

I recently had an interview with a very promising pre-IPO company in the AI/ML space for a SE leadership position. The interview feedback was better than I expected, but with a twist. They have already given the offer to someone else, but they still want to bring me on board and they asked me what I would like to do. I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?

Also, if a sophomore or junior doesn’t get a finance-related summer internship (I.e tech) and aims for an IB SA or FT position, is it harder to break in?

Appreciate any advice and insight, thank you.
