That’s the degree I went for. No regret!

I got a masters in management of IT that I’m so glad I did. Ive always worked in tech consulting but had no technical background. Made way more sense than an MBA for me

Hey MBB fish. I am a senior in the data and analytics space and have 8 years of experience 6 in consulting and 2 in the industry. I also have a master's in analytics from a very reputed school..contd

I'm at a career juncture and have decided on a career in anti-money laundering as my new path. I'm also highly interested in additional education to further my career and am eyeing graduate school. Which is best? A law degree or a master's in international relations? Those are where my interests lie. I keep reading that JDs are valued in compliance but am wondering if a different graduate program is better for my goals. I already plan to obtain the CAMS certification. Thank you!
