M1 here, any thoughts on Harvards Business Analytics program? Pretty strong in data, visualization, BI but not statistical techniques

I have a few questions for people in consulting roles (both external/internal).

My partner is in corporate banking, but he wants to switch to a consulting/strategy-based role. I noticed people with those jobs typically have an MBA, and also majority of the job ads in similar roles has MBA as either a requirement or preferred qualification. So:

1) does MBA actually improve someone's chance in getting those roles?
2) are there any good Canadian MBA programs you'd recommend?

Thank you all!

I am in the process of finishing up my MBA but considering also getting my SPHR or PHR cert. Is it even worth it or a waste of time and money?

I have more than 2 years of experience as software developer. My main expertise is developing android and iOS mobile application. I recently moved to US to pursue my masters degree. As of right now, I am having hard time trying to get a job related to my field. No luck with freelancing sites.
It just sucks that I have so much potential in myself but I cannot live up to my potential.
Any advice??

How much does GMAT score matter? Are you ok for M7 if your score is 700 & above?

Anyone here to the Georgia tech online masters in analytics degree, I just had some questions….

Do Federal consulting firms value MBAs or specialized Masters degrees more? Interested in the earnings potential from MBA that is often touted, can’t help but think that it is less applicable in Fed.

On a budget, has anyone completed online masters degree or MBA from a prestigious top 20 school? If so, how was the experience for u and whether it boosted ur career + what was the overall cost?

Where should I go to school if I want to join a startup? Or form one with bschool friends? Only 700 GMAT and not super impressive background so GSB/HBS is out of the question. Ross? Fuqua? Anderson? Johnson Tech MBA? Background in healthcare provider technology.

Waiting for GSAP decision but have an mbb offer… not sure what’s the right move here. Wanted to go to bschool for the life experience

My entire career has been in marketing strategy & analytics, but I want to make the switch to full time marketing strategy (I’m sick of the data work). How do I sell this?

Just to be clear McConell always goes bold first so it looks like he is compromising if it turns out he doesn’t have the votes. If he has the votes he will slam it through even if it costs seats and the presidency - the courts rule longer. However, he may not have the votes. Too soon to tell.

This may be an elementary question, but my credit score just randomly dropped 20 points. I keep my utilization very low. Almost all of my financial transactions are on my credit card, and I pay everything off by each statement. One month I didn’t get a chance to pay everything off because there were some transactions made on my statement date that I was not able to pay off because they were listed as pending. This resulted in my utilization going up to 6%. My credit score did not change (cont).

Hey guys. Is anyone familiar with EY interview process and questions for data science within FSO? What should I expect?
Thanks

Starting off as a Project Manager for Analytics/Data Science projects after a Masters in Analytics. I was hoping to work as a Data Analyst though, with more focus on tech skills. Anyway- if in future I want to be moving into more tech focused roles, what should my path look like? I am quite good with Sql and Python, fairly decent with ML, so is Data Eng a viable option?

Unbranched from my last post :

Data, Analytics, Consulting, Industry/functional
experience, maybe some tech..

Is it to be a Chief Data Officer or similar?

I've worked closely with several CDOs, and I'm not sure it's my dream..

I'm tired of showing organizations how to be "data-driven".
I think I can't stomach more "data governance" programs.

Having said that, I know a few CDOs with TC >$1M.

Hi all- I have a total of 13 years of experience in analytics consulting for CPG and Retail clients, I’ve worked at BCG for 3 years in their analytics team at India.
