Hi there, has anyone had any experience with data bootcamps (lewagon, ironhack etc.) recently?

I am a post-MBA MBB consultant willing to transition to a more data/analytics role and wondering whether this is the best step now.


Tks!

Hi there,

I personally did not take these courses to transition into analytics but they do look like a good stepping stone!

If you wanted to talk about how to leverage MBB to pivot into a more analytics-based role, let me know as I've just done that (through leveraging a prior tech-based job, specializing in analytics during my MBA, and getting exposure to GAMMA-based projects while at BCG).

Happy to also tell you about what the experience has been like!

Tks! What are your thoughts on the deepness of the curriculum? My concern is that the bootcamp might be somewhat basic for this transition.
