I am interviewing at a top tech firm and have been told I need to take a 45 min excel assessment. Has anyone taken something like this/does anyone have prep advice?

What the hell. They are in for a show to assess a consultant with excel. Btw, deloitte net has few excel courses if you are interested in something 'formal'

Those assessments are all pretty simple, just know how to do Vlookups, Pivot Tables, and write formulas. You should be fine

Most folks don't know the stuff EY1 mentions. They ask their friend Google, and forget. Those tests are great. I wish we had them to source people to projects. Would be great to know didn't know align left in PowerPoint.

Thanks EY1!

Excel is fun I'd love that. Last interview I had the technical part was run by an old friend of mine so we just org charted the whole time - he knew I was consummate in Excel.

It's Amazon. They seem to be doing this for every position.

It isn't Amazon :). But any other insights on the assessment would be helpful.

Is it bad manners or just a bad idea to go back to a recruiter if they got you a job that wound up being a bad fit?
For context, I don’t think they misled me. The job changed 3 weeks after I got hired, and got stuck in a role that’s just not a good fit. Gave it 6 months of honest effort and I’m ready to start job hunting.
I saw this recruiter make a post on LinkedIn, and I liked working with them the first time, and I want to reach out. But I don’t know what they’ll think.

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?
