I am very poor at PowerPoint, below zero.
Can anyone share some good templates dump that you collected?

What is my best learning option for PowerPoint presentations making?

I'm not looking for how to do actual presentations but how to make materials.
And any mapping guidance around what template to use for what?

I work in IT and need basic skills for project management and business process flows etc.

Make that 4, I'm another hopeless chap 🥹

Allppt.com has some great templates that helped me

Tbh, youtube. Former bain and Mck guys show you how to make slides.

I like some of the original Microsoft PowerPoint templates. I think those general groups are good for which one it's meant for. Searching "good ____ presentations" can lead to what you need. And sometimes it's also just based on what type of presentation you need.
Good luck!

I can really use some direction. My background, I've worked 2 years in strategy and am currently coming off an exhausting year 2 in investment banking. I didn't particularly enjoy either role and am not interested in moving over to the buy-side or some monotonous FP&A role. Everybody says there's exit-ops aplenty, but I find myself with less options and even more picky than I did as an ambitious T2 undergrad student. Where do I go from here?
