How to improve Powerpoint and Excel skills - and the correct hardware devices to use for IB fresher
Hello guys,
I recently joined as an investment banking analyst and would appreciate if you can answer the following queries -
1. I am currently using the HP Envy laptop with a Logitech MX Master 3 wireless mouse. The keyboard does not have a separate number pad but i seem to be comfortable with it. Should i continue with it or use a separate keyboard for speed.
2. PowerPoint - although I am able to get the desired slides in a PPT, it takes me too much time sometimes. How do i increase my speed. Especially in minor formatting changes
3. Excel - how can I become a pro at excel. Any list of functions and formulas I should know which can help me? I seem to know most of the basic formulas and functions but seem to face some issues with advanced pivots
4. Extras - anything else I could do to improve my productivity and reduce my time? Anything to manage Outlook and the files would be really appreciated.
Many courses available online.
You have the FMVA (Financial Modeling & Valuation) by CFI (Corporate Finance Institute).
You got the Breaking Into Wall St one.
And you got the forum’s guides which I’m personally not familiar with.
They are all not free but high quality courses.
You can always learn from YouTube for free but that’s to you.
Btw the laptop you have isn’t really relevant.
PM me
If you aren't having problems without a numpad, you are clearly painfully slow. Get a full size keyboard and take classes. WallStreetPrep has a good PPT one. Doesn't your bank provide this stuff?
its a very long process for getting the desired keyboard. i have a good laptop and am comfortable with the one without the numb pad. However, kindly let me know if i should buy one with the numb pad and is it the industry norm to use such keyboards? or normal laptops (which include the keyboards without the numb pad ) are used in the industry?
