Prep for incoming 1st year analysts? WS Prep Excel course?
Hi there,
Long time reader of the site and finally decided to make a thread. I spent my summer with a BB M&A group and will be going back for FT this summer. Needless to say, a crazy senior year has left me forgetting a lot of the skills I picked up last summer. I study accounting and finance at school, so I'm not worried about being behind on understanding the valuation theory/financial statements part of the job. I am more worried about general Excel proficiency.
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has faced a similar situation where they feel like they are returning to FT training without remembering much from last summer. I was thinking about ordering the Wall Street Prep Excel Crash Course since it's under $40 with the monkey discount. Does anyone have experience with this? Is it a pretty good way to "brush up" for someone in my situation?
I know TTS and lengthy training (6 weeks I think) exist for a reason, I've just always been the type to worry and over-prepare.
Any and all advice is welcomed! Thanks!
Extremely interested as well, as I feel the same way. Finance Major and did an IBD SA but want to touch up on Excel skills. Even extra PPT skills for updating slides would be helpful. Thanks
Also very interested in this. Any analysts or others who have tried these Excel courses care to elaborate?
not sure if you can get it for 40. interested in it too, but not sure if it worth it
BIWS Excellence With Excel costs $97 and Wall Street Prep Excel Crash Course costs $39. Monkey discount is applicable to the latter.
Interested if anyone has taken either of these solely to brush up on Excel skillz.
Also the best prep for Series 7 and 63 exams.
Dude. If you were a BB M&A summer you should have nothing to worry about re: excel. Make sure you can use the ifs functions (sum, average, count), offset (including offset match), and index match and you will be able to model to your heart's content.
What about for those who haven't brah?
Same functions still apply. Use them, love them.
