McKinsey & Company I need to up-skill myself in data analytics and data governance. I’m not even sure what I need to be learning relevant and add more value to my projects from this perspective!


Should I also learn how to code? What about machine learning, big data, and all these buzzwords?

What courses or certificates should I take to help improve my skills and know more about what’s to come in these areas?

Hi guys,

I need an advice/suggestion here. I got an offer from 2 different organisations and choose one among them (Role: Analyst) because of the culture and benefits. And the other offer has a good pay and good designation (Associate Consultant) rather than the one I choose. Now i feel very low due to this decision that I took. I feel like I have settled down for a lower package and a lower designation. Is there anything that I can do in the current organisation that I’ve joined at a week back

Coming to the realization that consulting is not for me (tech person) feeling angry that salaries at D will never be on pair with FANG and that leadership is not tech focused.

It seems super clear cut to me now, if you want to make money in tech don’t join consulting firms. Am I wrong?
