Few others in America have read The Little Prince (though I think everyone in France grows up reading it).

If you were a hipster in San Francisco, you'd make a decision of whether to have the kind of boring Starbucks coffee, or the slightly more exciting single-origin organically-grown free trade pourover coffee that your non bearded, tattooed barista will take 13 minutes to make.

I've been researching various masters programs and bootcamps, including talking to graduates of both.

My sense is that while there's a huge variance in quality on both, the median bootcamp seems to be more in touch with industry and better at imparting real-world skills than the median master's program. I'm not sure if employers have started to recognize this yet (from your comment, it seems that they haven't). But once the feedback loop completes, I'd wager that they will.

Also, getting a graduate degree and attending a data science bootcamp doesn't seem to be mutually exclusive. For instance, there are data science bootcamps that specifically target PhDs.

Well said. Hindsight is 20-20 though. I imagine it's not easy to make the right calls when one is in the driver's seat.

My takeaway: It's freaking hard to be CEO.

These are great suggestions.
