[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 for MBA is useless for a data scientist.  I would focus on learning Python, SQL, maybe R?  Agree that you have some skills but a recent boot camp or cert will help get your resume past HR.  Do as much free/cheap training as possible; most of what you’ll actually need to know you’ll learn on the job, you just have to get the job first.  Good luck!

As for compensation, I think PP’s right that entry level would be $70-80k, but there would be opportunities for promotion and raises, decent health/vacation benefits, and 401k match.

I work in tech but not data science/AI.  I don’t think “power user of chatgpt” is a reasonable career path; you want the ability to tune models to be valuable in the AI space.[/quote]

Speaking of MBA now I wonder if I made the right decision. Like OP I am looking for a better paying job. I am currently working as a senior admin assistant and make $110k. My goal is to make minimum $150k. So I joined an online MBA program and I am halfway through the program. I spent about $16k so far and have another $16k to spend. Given that some of you are saying that an online MBA is useless should I leave the program? The first $16k I used my savings but I will.need student loans for the rest.

I want a job as a business analyst, programme manager and the like. I am 39.[/quote]

I am doing an online mba at michigan ross mba. It costs ~120k and from other students ive talked to, its not worth it. If anything, its a joke of a degree and our respective employers don't care. [/quote]
