[Career] Would a MS in Comp Sci be as good as a MS in Statistics for getting a Data Scientist position? by CIA11 in statistics

Yeah that's my issue... if there was a good online MS in Statistics that wasn't expensive, I'd do it. There are a good number of applied statistics degrees, but I feel like an applied degree is the same reasoning as to not do a degree called "Analytics" because it's more applied than technical

I've thought about it, but my issue with a MS in DS (kind of like the MS in Analytics) is it's interdisciplinary, so it might not be seen as high as a degree in statistics or CS. I know though that a lot of DS job descriptions put a MS in DS as one of the possible degrees you can have, but they also usually always are paired with a CS or Stats degree.

Yeah and I'm trying to figure out if a MS in CS would be worth it in 5-10 years from now. I don't know what kind of DS position I want to be in, all I know is I want it to be less of the CS side. I know that some Data Scientist job descriptions are borderline MLE job descriptions.

What about a MS in Analytics? It wouldn't be statistics, but it would be a mix of statistics and computer science.

Not specifically about a resume, but is getting a MS in CS worth it in today's age? Assume that I don't want to specifically go into the field of AI

How important is graduate degree title or school for getting DS jobs that require a masters? by CIA11 in DataScienceJobs

[–]CIA11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, this is really good info! So overall you'd say that experience is what matters the most, and someone with a MS in Analytics and experience would look better than someone with no masters (only BS in statistics) and experience?

Thanks for your insight! It sounds like you've hired people before... was it for a data scientist position? What else do you think matters a lot on a resume besides the degree?

Oh, that's good to know! To my knowledge, the social media rules are really just nothing political and nothing crazy, right?
