Looking at applying for GTech's online masters in analytics vs masters in CS (machine learning). Which is more valuable? Both have overlap in courses.

Analytics you can teach yourself from CS topics. CS will be tough but if you really like to program and the theory behind it then do that. If you like analyzing data and creating ways to visualize it then do analytics

Depends on your desired outcome. If it is to attract data science recruiters, neither is going to attract anyone other than recruiters seeking entry level or slightly above candidates. If you already have a quantitative undergrad, focus on building a portfolio of projects and applications. It's cheaper and actually will draw a better reception than an overpriced degree from a diploma mill trying to milk the current craze

Machine learning will be more valuable going forward

The analytics one has a lot of courses from the IE and business schools. CS is pure CS. From what I've heard and seen they both have excellent placements but of different types (eg data science / analytics vs CS/development etc.)

When it comes to your job search:

1) How often/much do you get feedback from recruiters or whoever you just spoke with? Feels like we're always in the dark. One way feedback street.

2) Who do you like to work with? Headhunters vs internalrecruiters? Is the experience different?

3) Have you had to align your interviews so that the offers would come in close/same day? What's your strategy?

4) What's your process in weighing [multiple] offers? If that ever happens? Where do you keep your notes?

But, of course, these would need their server to host them, which cost a lot of money and took up precious resources in the cloud.
