Required additional (to master degree) skills for IB M&A

Hello everyone,

What skills are vital for working in ib m&a/ investment analysis etc?

Generally speaking, it's influence in Excel, obviously. What are others? Is python/vba required? To what extend? And what are basic operations in excel (beside financial modeling)? I am looking for some courses to enhance my ability to work in above mentioned programmes. Thanks in advance!

Thanks in advance!
