Anyone’s firm use any Excel/PPT add-ins ? Just joined the junior productivity committee and wanted to gauge how valuable people actually find these. We’re currently looking for AI & automation tools to improve day-to-day workflows etc. Sick of the late nights, appreciate all recommendations and experience !

Thinkcell is a good one.

Select tech shops have access to better tools. Co-pilots deck output is probably the most competitive as of now.

Yeah am interested to see how copilot changes the game for deck creation. Have heard of thinkcell too, seems like it’s great for charting but doesn’t help on the pitch side of things?

Arixcel! Very helpful for identifying inconsistent formulas, tracking precedents/dependents, and overall quality control

Haven’t heard of this! Any idea how it compares to thinkcell etc? Is it provided for all juniors or do you have a personal license?

Thinkcell is pretty good

Yeah seems to be the standard for charting. How flexible is it? Does it have formatting features / anything in PPT?

Just checked out the website, looks like my dream haha. How do you find it in practice?

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?

Also any tips on networking would be appreciated. Thank you!
