Honestly, just read about basic macro and how it affects DCM. Make sure to learn basic PPT, and everything else you will learn on the job. DCM is one those career paths you can probably learn everything in the first 4-5 months in the job

Hey, glad you’re considering a career in DCM. I don’t work in DCM but I work closely with them so I went ahead and made a detailed day to day for you below that I hope will be helpful. Let me know of any questions!

  • Update the one pricing excel sheet they have
  • Go home
