Imagine this: you’re given the chance to be an absolute god in just ONE of these tools for your entire IB career—Excel, PowerPoint, Word, or Outlook—but there’s a catch. You’d be subaverage in the ones you didn’t choose.

How tf do you be sub-average in outlook? Like you just send out wrong meeting times, copy wrong admin assistants, etc?
Excel, any other answer is dumb imo. You can be subaverage at powerpoint and the others but if you can model out the ass thats a lot harder to replace then someone who makes pretty slides or great emails.
As an incoming MBA associate in M&A I’ve gained deep experience in MS WORD in the past years outside of banking. I can confidently say that mastering MS WORD is a key skill out there
Hell yeah. Name 5 fonts.
