Would like to know your response when you get asked on an interview about your excel level. I work in finances and I feel like I have been using excel forever but I don’t feel like I can say I am advanced since I know there’s a lot of functions out there that I just don’t have to use on my daily activities.

Just say you are an expert and then figure it out on your job. If you have been doing it for yours, you are an expert; you don't need permission from someone to be called an expert. The worst case scenario is that you google how to approach a problem and get it done.

I think you can introduce yourself as an expert if you are confident enough. Just be ready to learn new stuff based on requirements. 😉

You don't really have to use them on a daily basis before you can consider yourself an expert. As long as you know how to use those functions and are confident about your skills, then go ahead :)

If you worked with finances in your role, your are miles ahead of most others

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
