Arrays, VBA, and not needing a mouse will get you pretty high up there relative to your peers.

Any good resources to practice with array formulas?

To me, someone who is advanced in excel can:
1) create something simple rather than complex (user friendly, easily checked, easily updated, etc)
2) bottle neck to modeling is typing speed
3) knows when excel isn’t the best tool for the job

These are pretty high level tho, could get more granular

That’s exactly what it was 😩

Kornacki and King are pulling entry level consulting hours and King is of advanced age. How long can they do this? Kornacki is like the wunderkind Associate everyone wants on their team and to shove in front of the client. King is the analyst that the smarter managers choose for the team because he is quiet and confident. He gets promoted first. Kornacki cuts ties and goes to Big 4 for a salary increase.

My company is in need of a update online, could use your opinions! We need to better showcase our culture (caring, supportive, fun, intelligent IT industry leaders) as well as diversity. We are predominantly white still but making strides to improve here. What’s the best way to approach? I don’t want to seem disingenuous or that we are singling out our diverse employees (asking for photos). We have a remote and on-site workforce about 350+ EEs. Non white EEs make up about 35% of the company rn.
