Hey peeps!

I'm in an Applied Stats Masters at the moment (part time) while also working full time in a Supply Chain role. After I graduate, I want to work somewhere in healthcare, public policy, or economics as a statistician or data scientist in the US. I'm loving the program, however am wondering if I should take the opportunity to get a bridge role like a data analyst in the meantime and if that would make the post master's job search any easier?

I'm good with R, SAS, Excel, and PowerBI already but don't really use them much in my current role which is Supply Chain mixed in with a bit of analytics.

Anyone been in a similar place? Thanks!
