Im currently an analytics consultant mostly doing descriptive and diagnostic analytics. Looking to apply masters degree in analytics. Do you think it is a good reason to write in the app that i want to gain understanding of algorithm based predictive and prescriptive analytics through ML classes?

A master's degree in analytics / business analytics won't prepare or train you enough in that. Those programs are usually designed much more around descriptive analytics / visualization kind of skills set. You would probably need more technical oriented program or a statistical/ econometrics program might be more useful. (All these under consideration that you want to go through a formal program)

Yeah as I said - generally - not always true. More of a terminology thing. Totally agree, pick the right program. Go through the curriculum and choose the apt one.

Hi fishes,

I am a strategy consulting enthusiast from a middle class family. Don't have the financial stability to take a loan for an MBA and hence had to drop some renouned admits this year (Think top IIM's) due to family circumstances. I still dream big and request you to provide some insights for my research:-
1) Average expected package of an associate
2) Average experience expected at ZS to get hired at associate (not BCN)
3) Good books to upskill and ace the consulting case interviews
