I have 2YOE and a liberal arts undergrad. Does an MSBA open more doors into analytics? I don’t really see myself getting an MBA at this stage of my life, but I’m not entirely closed off to the idea yet.

Imho it isn’t neccessary, I made a similar transition into analytics. Good thing is analytics is a field where it’s more skills based than background based. I recommend building your skillset (for free) as opposed to paying for an education. My two direct teammates have MSBA’s and we get paid the same (only BS for me)

I was a senior associate in operations at a fortune 250 tech co. and started utilizing analytics a lot for some projects and cliche but fell in love with it. I had a great boss I could be transparent with, started networking internally with our analytics departments, asked the skills I would need. Taught myself how to code and use tableau via Alex the Analyst on Youtube, interviewed 6 months later. Transitioning internally is going to be a lot easier than having a external co. take a shot, but it can be done as I know people who have.

TLTR: Youtube and Networking, sounds simple but thats how I made my entry.

Nope, experience and skillset matters more when it comes to analytics. It’s better to use your connections to get the right role.

Yes it does open doors.

It also depends on what kind of analytics you want to do. There’s 3 types: descriptive, predictive, prescriptive.

One could more easily get into descriptive without formal education. Predictive and prescriptive is possible to a certain point, imo.

I’m liberal arts undergrad and MSBA graduate. I didn’t get recruiter calls for prescriptive and predictive until after MSBA. Even then, it was hard to interview given my real work experience doesn’t have much of those projects. I’m grateful my current employer has given me a role that just does predictive & prescriptive.
