has anyone made the move from a CPA firm into data science/data management?

Question

I am currently in my first year at a Big Four firm doing Audit. I have a masters in Accounting Science and a CPA. Im worried about enrolling in a Masters of Data Science becuase i have no background in CS or coding. Should i wait to apply to programs like this until i am proficient in Python? More than one language? I hate accounting, i want to work in data science hopefully something to do with block chain eventually. Thanks for your help!

Answer 1

As an accountant (with some coding experience and CS past learning) I would also love to read answers.
