What kind of education did everyone get? Did you get a business degree or a Marketing/Liberal Arts Degree? I have an English and Communications Degree…I'm not sure how I ended up in analytics

Liberal arts with a math major. I think it is the best combination for analysts

I received a Communication Arts (Journalism) degree with a double minor in English and American History. Yes, I planned to save the world in newspaper journalism. A few years later I decided to save myself and my family by "selling out" and going into advertising/marketing/public relations. Research, investigation, interviewing, gathering and presenting facts, and writing a coherent sentence can allow you to fit in just about anywhere.

Social Science degree and then an MBA. I had a manager who swore that humanities and social science majors made the best analysts because they were taught how to think critically.

Social science, experimental psychology. MSBA from a technical school.

I get annoyed when someone cancels me because of my non technical undergrad. Like, okay, I didn’t know exactly what I wanted to do the rest of my life at 18… can you blame me?

My company went toxic in the last couple months. Chose me and started interviewing. Had a very successful interview with Amazon but recruiter is working hard trying to place me and said there’s no knowing how long to find a team. Meanwhile I just received a Director offer for a company with a 29% pay bump July 1. If Amazon or any other FAANG/large co gets back to me, is there an acceptable way to not burn bridges with new job and accept or delay start date with FAANG? Or fuck it just hop?
