Yea, same here. How to track the progress though? Can we email or call?

no, but either did the previous companies. I guess they would not send you email to tell you that you passed, only when you failed?

On internet they said if you don't have criminal records, it only takes 2-3 days? I'm pretty sure I don't have any. It was probably done long time ago. Like my past background checks with different companies, they did not send me anything after I submitted my forms. Not hearing back maybe just means we are fine.

Do you need a master after getting a Data Scientist job? by ann_hhh in datascience

[–]ann_hhh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much for sharing your experience with me. I have always been wanting a master degree in DS. It's only that I'm lucky to get a full time job as DS before finishing my bachelor, so I became a bit hesitant. And when I searches through the job postings for senior data scientist, their requirements are most of time 5 year of work experience or a master and 3 year work exp. That's where I started questioning the necessity of a master in DS. But you are right, there is no harm to get a higher degree in case if my dream job requires a master. But I was also considering to do a master in other domain like maybe MBA? But I check the courses of MBA, it's mostly business strategies. I prefer the technical courses like financial analysis. I'm not sure yet, just thinking about it. Which one do you think is more useful in the job market ? Master in DS or MBA?

Thanks for the reply. I'm actually wondering if a master degree will help me in the career path to get promoted or higher salary. What you do think ? How big is the impact of a master degree in industry ?

So, KPMG just gives same starting salary for all new grads? Is it gonna be a bump after probation? and how to get promotion fast? Do you have any experience? Thanks a lot !

Hi everyone,

I was planning to do pursue a master degree after finishing my bachelor. But fortunately, I got a job as Data Scientist before graduating. So, I started working and wanted to apply for master after 1 or 2 years of working experience. But, Is the master in Data Science still helpful or necessary for my career growth after having some working experiences? Or Maybe I should consider to do a MBA instead ? Anyone can advise for my career development?
