A bit of background. I graduated this year with BS in Computer Science. I had a job as an MLOps/Cloud engineer, but unfortunately I got laid off. My ambition as of now is to work as an MLE or a Data Scientist (not necessarily a researcher, although that’d be dope). My question is, which would be more useful in that regard, an MS in CS or Stats? I’ve heard doing ML/DS specific programs can be “cash cows” and a bit shallow, so I’d rather do something more fundamental and give me more options. I’d appreciate any input you guys have! Thanks in advance.

    Do CS. It seems like you’re looking to do more coding than analysis/forecasting.
