Duke MQM Student Blog

I am looking forward to growing as a consultant at EY and seeing where my career goes from here.

The fun part of my role as a data scientist involves talking with different people who have varying degrees of data literacy.

For the first time, I realized that I could have a career that I could enjoy just as much as a hobby.

While I didn’t specifically target startups in my initial job search after graduation, I am so happy with where I ended up.

I can say that this master's degree has made a profound impact on my career aspirations.

The MQM program prepared me to tackle interesting investment challenges at work and the wide array of opportunities that would be available to me upon graduation.

Aided by a job market favoring job-seekers, 2022 was the best year yet in terms of employment outcomes for MQM students.

Now four terms into MQM, I’m excited to share that I secured my first job in tech, and I wanted to share my experience and some tips on how I got to this point!

The MQM program equipped me with the skills necessary to hold my own in a fast-paced, results-oriented work culture.

I was faced with the dilemma of choosing which track would be the best fit for me. As I read about the Forensics track, I was immediately drawn to it, as a good way to apply my interest in data analytics in a growing career field.
