Okay not going to lie — doing this rotation remote has been/is tough and I’m only a month in. I can’t keep up with the excel skills of you FDD people and pretty sure the director hates me 😭

Bro excel in FDD is nothing .. child's game compared to excel skills of people working in valuations and modeling.

Compared to audit it’s the big leagues for excel though which is what I’m comparing to haha

I’ve heard people say this, but in my head I can picture what specifically in excel is so difficult. I haven’t seen any of the workbooks and don’t know what to picture.

I’m sure you’ll figure it out in no time!

Any excel skills to brush up on? I have an “excel test” for an interview and don’t know what to expect

In my (very limited) experience, just know how to manipulate large amounts of data quickly in many ways and formats. Lots of pivot tables and charts and transforming ugly data into big excel sheets
