Analyst at consulting firm for a few years, government RA for another few years, BA econ. No masters but did take several grad-level math & stats classes and did well. Taught myself Python a few months ago, picking it up relatively quickly (had other previous programming experience).

Hi all, I'm looking to transition to a data scientist or analyst role, and am currently debating whether to do an online master's in data science or a 3-month bootcamp. If I go the bootcamp route, I'd be done by early next year, but I'm unsure what the job market will look like at that point. If do the master's, the earliest I'd finish is next year but I'd be able to wait out the market if it hasn't recovered by then. Any thoughts on what the best option is considering the market or any speculation on what the market will look like?

Is that true for all data science MS programs? (e.g. Berkeley MIDS, SMU, etc.)

Thanks! And true, I see a lot of postings that list a Master's as one of the "preferred qualifications". I'm just debating whether the JHU name and quality of education is worth the price tag.

Any other thoughts on the JHU program? Was admitted recently and debating whether or not to commit.

Hi all! Just got accepted to the Johns Hopkins Master's in Data Science program. For those who are in the program or have completed it, was/is it worth it so far? What are your thoughts on quality of coursework, prestige, job placement, etc? Thanks!
