What's better? Go back to school for a master's($14k) in information systems that will teach Net, SAP, SQL Server, UML, XML, Rapidminer, Tableau, Python, R, Blockchain, cybersecurity tools, and more OR get certifications for some of these platform? I currently have 2.5 yoe, have some work experience with Tableau and different SQLs, validating data, etc. My goal is to break into this industry and have enough skill to exit Accenture within a year or two. Currently in the TDP program.

What program is that? Sounds amazing 😻

Not worth going to school for if you already have experience with SQL and Tableau in my opinion. Those alone will get you in the door if you can pass technical tests. If you want to really firm up, just do practice interview tests and maybe get a cert or two if you really think it would help.

Depends recently went through several Faang interviews landing at Meta after some solid multi offers, I will say my masters in DS was not a detriment at all but ymmv
