Absolutely possible, additional schooling might not be truly necessary with your stem degree.
Solid data science projects are essential, and they are at Deloitte. Different projects will exercise different skillsets - the cloud or ML ops side, basic applications of data science, others building products, or full r&d and prototyping. You may not know enough about the field to be targeted, but at least avoid stuff that's basic ETL and dashboarding, ~unless~ you do want to target biz intelligence/analytics work, and there are plenty of those jobs in tech too. Then when you know enough, dive into projects that build upon key skills you want to target.
Outside of projects and when interview prepping you can do online courses to cover the theoretical gaps.
I'm a GPS consultant with a FAANG data science (machine learning) offer, which I'll likely accept after 3 ish years at Deloitte.
You need a really solid math and stats background. Likely will need a masters or PhD in stats to get a true data scientist role
Stats advanced degree as a bare minimum? Yeah that’s not going to be required. That’s old school to say the least.
Masters in data science typically a one year degree. Worth a shot to go for the roles now and look for engagements for experience or go get a degree if that’s definitely the space for you. Network your way onto data science engagements if you’re not already on them.
A&C on the commercial side has opportunities.
