There are some pretty legit excel courses. Look into ExcelCEO. There’s a big course that’s super pricey (like 1k), but there are also free tutorials out there for vlookups, pivots, etc. The guy who teaches it is very effective and it’s well worth the investment to become an Excel wiz.

There’s also free stuff online if you’re ready to teach yourself. I have googled a lot of what I know in Excel and would say I’m intermediate/advanced at this point.

Confidence shook! Help! Career coach hired, but I was told by a HH my chronological resume should be re-worked into a functional resume.

My mental health has taken a toll & the WLB hasn’t been very balanced at all in recent years. I need to get out & haven’t really looked for a job in almost 20 years.

Thoughts? Encouragement?

So I have completely lost interest in my area of practice mainly because I haven’t been exposed to many matters (our team is really slow) and I am the most junior in the team. So billable work is never constant. I feel like this has impacted my interest and stagnated my growth. I am thinking of moving into a different area of practice that I’m interested in. Has anyone ever done this? I’m actually depressed and I really hate being given work now. I have ADHD. Please advise
