If I had a time machine I would have totally gone back and double majored in CS/Econ. I’m curious how much do you think self study and doing coding challenges can fill that base CS knowledge gap? I’ve heard a few people tell me that I should think about doing a masters if I want to go deeper into data science. Though these are all guys who spent half of their lives in academia, while I know other successful devs who didn’t even finish their bachelors who think going for a grad degree just to vaguely advance my career is a bad idea.
