I am hoping to transition from a fraud/research related role into Data Science/Analytics. I am toying with either going forward with an intensive bootcamp or perhaps enroll in the SAIT Data Analytics course.
If anyone has any info on any of the above, or even experience transitioning into a Data related role and could offer any advice I would certainly appreciate it!

I did Lighthouse Labs about 1.5 years ago.
It was absolutely fricking terrible and a complete waste of money. I am now short $10k that I'll never get back.
Yes you learn lots of new stuff. Yes they do offer career services. No, employers don't really hire bootcamp grads, unless they're sketchy start ups on life support through government grants. There's really no short cut to a new career.
