Live — be able to talk through a Quality of earnings analysis, net working capital analysis and net debt considerations and understand how all of these impact the purchase price. I recommend corporate finance institute articles to help get you there as far as knowledge for the case study.

Take home. Practice your Excel formulas and try to find a practice case.

How are the case studies for FDD interviews?

Hi everyone,
I want to learn Salesforce Tableau CRM (formerly known as Einstein Analytics) and switch to a different organisation. In my current company stuck in a project where there's no learning scope, no growth and work culture is toxic. Now I'm only going through Trailhead, YouTube playlist videos and practicing hands on in my free personal org. Are these enough to crack interviews or not? I don't have real-time project experience.

Folks,

Any resume site / recommendations for an analytics focussed resume I could get some inspiration from?

Been on my job for 7+ years - a bit lost as to articulating my experience effectively. I have a resume, but don't think it strikes a chord with recruiters.

Please help!

Hi Fishes
I want to share very bad experience I had at
Mastercard
I was given offer by Mastercard in month of Dec The hike was less but looking at brand & other perks I accepted the offer & was looking forward to joining them.I got few offers & I went back to them for sole purpose of renegotiating CTC, to have a industry standard hike. They didn't reverted back for 2-3 days & just dropped a mail that they are revoking initial offer as well on grounds that they didn't like i gave other interview
