Need some advice please.

So I have been in consulting mainly transport and infra for several years in UK and then moved to Middle East for short period.

Had to come back to UK for some personal reasons.

Been a few months and unsuccessful with applications. I want to develop my skills so I am still developing in this unemployment phase.

Any advice?

I have a intereat in Digital and Data in Transport. But not sure if I do a course or masters that it would be valued.

I work in Transport & Infra too. Interestingly have seen PA advertising specifically for a Transport Data Science manager for last 3-6 months. Have a look at the job spec and see what could be required.

I think if you already have a good amount of work experience self study would be enough to break into this space.
