I'm going into a post-MBA Strategy Consulting (Internal) role, and I've never done fancy excel modeling before in life. I'd highly appreciate it if anyone could point me to good resources to learn this - be it a book, online courses, or anything else you think may be useful.

What I'm seeking to learn overall:
1. How to build a clean, logical, easy to review Excel model
2. How to improve written communication, particular to senior executives
3. How to make better slides

Honestly in a strat consulting role, you probably won’t be doing much if any excel model. Brush up on PPT skills and logical storyboarding

You can check Udemy. What do you mean by better slides? For what type of presentation?

Thanks Deloitte 1. One thing I failed to mention was that this is an internal consulting function. Therefore, I would have to build out models time and again. Any recs for upskilling?

How do you feel that your written communication needs improving? And your slides? What type of changes do you feel that you need to make?

Consultant manager 1

I'm not a native English speaker, and the following are my self-identified areas of improvement

1. Writing shorter sentences instead of long convoluted ones
2. Using apt words
3. Understanding components of business writing. How to write a memo that the board would love to read.

In terms of slides, I think I'm good. But I want to get better. Particularly visualizing graphs and using PowerPoint better.

Hi fishes,

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline?

DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE COST OF YOUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES? I am looking to allocate their cost in the marketing budget in a way that won't rely on several layers of assumptions. How do you reliably estimate the cost of different marketing activities (email, social, web, etc) when you don't have specific people or tools allocated to each function and costs are spread across many channels? Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.
