Deloitte vs Google vs Meta? Got offers this week from Google & Meta but currently at Deloitte and happy here. Seeing a lot of people complain about Google being not as great as people make it seem, lack of growth, company being cheap, lack of perks outside of HQ. And with Meta the role is just uninteresting. Thoughts on either or just staying? Google Facebook (Meta)

Use templates. Don't create from scratch.
Start messing around on a Miro board. Organize things thematically. You’ll start to see the story emerge as things become easier to not only group but see linearly
Straw-man are the best for me. I just throw everything on paper (big detail / small detail, half sentences) and then start playing around with the pieces.
When I start getting stuck or going in circles I’ll switch over to design/prettying up the slides and hope that triggers more content or thoughts on the story I want to tell.
I also speak out loud because it helps me better than keeping all my thoughts in my head.
For visualization I personally do rapid iterations. I’ll throw together the same data in as many different configurations as I can think of - very rough, only a couple of minutes a piece at max. I don’t take time to examine it much when I am cycling through this. Once I have exhausted this first round I’ll look at them all. Figure out what pieces work and which don’t. Then just rinse and repeat until I have something that works.
If you do this right it take hardly any time. I find that the end product looks nothing like I would have done if I had just gone in and tried to fit the visualization to why I thought it should be.
