LLMs are pretty good at summarizing a lot of very long documents, which is great for when i'm onboarding onto an engagement. otherwise, i don't trust them to do much other than minor tasks, like "what's a good excel formula to do X."

Copilot is approved through work and I use it like I used to use Google before Google really started sucking. I also use it to make drafts for presentations. Copilot in excel isn’t helpful.

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)
