That’s it, that’s the thread lmao
This can’t be real.
Just interviewed a candidate who said they don’t use excel at all since SQL and Google sheets can integrate.
Cap One nerds, is this actually true?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't a direct mention of Capital One exclusively running on Google Sheets, but there are insights into how tools like Google Sheets and SQL are increasingly being integrated into workflows. For example, in one thread, a user mentioned using Google Sheets with a mail merge plugin for CRM purposes, leveraging its Excel-like functionality for tasks like mass mailing and database management.
Additionally, SQL is highlighted as a critical skill in finance and tech, often used for data analysis and integration with other tools. The shift towards tools like Google Sheets and SQL could reflect a broader trend in some organizations prioritizing cloud-based, collaborative tools over traditional Excel workflows.
If this is true for Capital One, it might align with their focus on tech-driven solutions, but there’s no explicit confirmation in the WSO dataset. It could be worth exploring further or asking directly within Capital One-focused threads.
