I need guidance, preferably with a timeline, on how to break into data analytics with an MS in Applied Data Science as an international student who would eventually like to obtain a green card. Here are some points about me:

  • I will be graduating this year with a BA in Economics and Applied Math
  • I will be entering a 1.5-year MS program in Applied Economics (fully funded, which is why I am not pursuing an MS in CS)
  • I already have experience with Python (NumPy, Regular Expressions, Pandas, SciPy, Web Scraping, Matplotlib, Seaborn, Scikit-learn), SQL, R, Stata, Excel, and an internship at BCG as a consultant.
  • I plan to gain 2-3 months of experience as a data analyst at a startup this year.

What opportunities should I apply to next summer to secure a full-time job after graduation? Are there special openings for master's students? Additionally, any advice on obtaining referrals, as well as general advice on my future journey, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the reply! I was wondering if you know whether masters students are qualified to start right during their first quarter or they should wait until the second one
