What are some certifications I can do which are hot in market? Have data background and in pwc consulting. Not very keen on software development or very technical courses. Is PMI or any other certification helpful? What are my options? Can anyone with similar background share some experience? For reference - I’m 3 years into consulting.

Outside of technical certs, I don’t value PMP but the agile cert can be of value if the right recruiter searches for you. Look at AWS, DevOps, Salesforce.

For the MBA programs I'm looking at this score is fine but is this a score that can help my BCG app in a MCOL Canadian city?
