Excel tests. Been in a few finance roles, not traditional FP&A and hadn’t had to take Excel test in interviews. Nothing really advanced IMO. Actively applying and noticing some postings where it explicitly states there will be an Excel test. For hiring managers that make candidates do a test: What are some common things you want candidates to know? I have no idea if they want to run a data set that can be solved with a pivot table or do a financial model.
