Anyone have ideas for somewhere where I can practice excel interviews? I have a 1-hr excel case interview coming up with one of the FAANGs for a product ops / strategy role. I’ll be given a data set and will be asked to work through a few questions with the interviewer.

Google free Excel practice interviews on YT. If nothing comes up then practice extracting, transforming and loading a data set. Automate things via macros. Use weather data or google public data sets. If you’re going for ops then you will need to use Pivot tables, charts and combo graphs. Keep it simple to get the job done, but ensure the result is a clean view that’s presentable (eliminate lines in charts, formatting in cells with commas or $’s, etc). Your attention to detail is just as important as the work itself. You’ll be fine. Chances are if you got this far then it’s just to see your style or how fast you can do this. It’s the thought process that counts. Good luck!

Good luck - it’s kind of anal retentive on the companies part. You sure you want to work at this place?

Idk, in my experience, I've seen it at a few places. Tesla, Disney, LinkedIn, tech startup from the Uber founder

Usually not an hour, but similar concept

Just do practice questions from YouTube

Fellow fishes, an observation. What explains the sudden rise in salaries in new hires.
In 2017/8, $/₹ was 65. Today it's at 80. That's a 20% depreciation over 2017/8 levels. Now, between then and now, salaries may have been corrected 50%. Factor in inflation, and you will see that the hike is just about 20% over a 4 time period. Doesn't seem like big number anymore.

Manager made it clear he isn’t happy with how I’ve been doing some of my work lately. His messages to me instantly brought up a whole mental can of worms.

I have journaled, changed jobs, etc., but these same types of (micro)managers are everywhere, and I can’t keep quitting and moving agencies.
