has anyone else moved from a bank where they had access to factset, macabacus, etc to a new job where they do not have any of the old tools?
like all i want is some nifty little shortcuts. can you really not pay for that for your juniors to save them HOURS of manually going through stuff :,(

had this problem as well - if u can't expense it there's a workaround for macabacus where u just keep using free trials. Not the most ideal but worth the shortcuts
I had this happen and unsurprisingly the platform itself was an absolute disaster. Not sure what level you are, but you should absolutely campaign internally to get these things. Frame as an efficiency tool, even if you need to make a deck describing the benefits to get folks’ buy in
