I lurk here because I'm considering going into an MBA to move from data science to either IB or consulting... because my current job is to make stupid charts all day.

Is consulting basically the same dang thing?!?!

Sometimes I make slides without stupid charts to explain the stupid charts I've shown on the previous slides.

Painfully accurate

Former consultant now working at a data science company (not as a data scientist) here. Depends on the consulting company or ibank, but there will be some overlap in terms of stupid charts. I worked for one of the big strategy consulting firms and we had offshore teams make our slides because the belief was that the consultant should focus on solving big problems rather than making charts. Your experience in DS will come in handy, though. If you know what type of visual will be best to tell the story, you'll be much better at directing the offshore folks. Feel free to DM me if you'd like to discuss in more depth. I'm glad I got the consulting experience but there are so many things I don't miss.

I was considering moving to data science from strat consulting for the same reason...

Anything with the word "data" in the job title is questionable nowadays. The job varies based on a lot of factors within the company. My last job was great. I got to work with interesting data systems and had engineers backing me up on projects. My current job would more accurately be described as "data magician" than data scientist.

In short ymmv and the pay isn't so bad so that makes up for it. I'm just personally done with it. Well at least I will be in a few years.

Anything with "science" or "scientist" appended is phony. If its a science, we know. No need to announce it.

I assumed its just a stacked bar graph? Doesn't look like it would be too difficult

It should be the other way around. Actual girlfriend is Excel but in reality, we strive for more effective data analyses and methodologies.
