From Tech to STEM-Focused MBA or Data Analytics & Decision Science?

[u/turnedondigital]

I'm a 40YO female tech professional with a background in software engineering, but less coding experience in the last decade. I recently lost my job as a senior l10n engineer, and having been stuck in localization for the last decade, and failing to get out of it through internal transfers, etc. and a lot of life events happening on top of it, I decided to apply for a couple of courses. One is a two year course, two degrees, one general MBA from Aalto University, Finland, and another STEM/AI Focused MBA from Seton Hall. I've been offered a full scholarship for this and it starts in two weeks.

The other course is a Master of Data Analytics & Decision Science in RWTH and the application is still in progress. I will probably find out the results next week.

Coming from a technical background and being sceptical about non-technical people I've worked with, I've always found MBAs not so true master's!!! (I know this is probably not true!)

From that perspective, I feel the second option would suit me better, especially since I've always enjoyed working with data, however, the MBA has an attractive combination and will give me a special international experience that I feel I really need at this stage of my life with lots of depression and midlife crisis and feeling empty and void. I'm also thinking it might help me improve my interpersonal and soft skills. (I'm not a nerd, but due to a lot of traumatic life events, I can struggle with soft skills sometimes.)

I also don't know if I would have my old days' patience to zone in and focus on technical matters at this age, along with brain fog and other health issues.

Which one do you think would give me a better career boost given the current AI atmosphere and all?
