Taking the plunge and posting here, after lurking for many years. So I graduated with a degree in Data Science from a top 10 undergrad program a few years back. Since then, I’ve been working at a mid consulting company in what is basically a glorified Business Analyst role, not working with programming or CS concepts beyond SQL and Database stuff.
I’m hoping to pivot to something that is more interesting and requires a bit more intellectual rigor. I also can’t lie that I’m intrigued by the potential for high compensation for tech roles at top companies. Would something like Georgia Tech’s OMSCS make sense for someone in my situation. I’ve taken several CS classes in college, but was fixated on starting my career in Stats/Data Analytics at the time, which I realize now was a mistake. Can a Masters help me land internships and hopefully break into something like MLE or SWE? Right now, I feel like I’m lacking some foundational knowledge in CS that I also feel that the Masters can make up for.
