I’ve been weighing out grad school vs Bootcamp. northwestern has a data science and visualization bootcamp. Roughly $10k - $12k. Could help fill in the gaps that I hopped to close with Grad schools. Adding new technical skills combined with my big 4 consulting experience (currently 3 years. 6 total YOE) I think I could make a pivot into higher paying roles.

Any thoughts?

Just get a masters in it. Online Georgia tech analytics is around that price

Yeah, I did the boot camp and don’t think it was worth it. Get a masters in business analyst is or data analytics. It holds more weight.

Really comes down to what role are you looking to pivot into. If the boot camp addresses the gaps you have to get that role and the gaps are the only thing preventing you from getting it then take the boot camp.
