I’m just saying from the optics perspective it’s not really seen as much different that “advanced excel user”. If you are applying for modeling heavy finance roles then maybe - but I’d specify what you can do with VBA that is relevant to the role like “built lattice models to value complex securities using VBA”.

If you’re really good at building macros

No

Not anymore due to more advanced analytics and automation tools being used.

Vba can be learnt in appx. 2 weeks. So its not a big deal.
