PowerPoint skills

Half the people on this site make the joke that the job is just moving logos around on PowerPoint. If I’m being honest I haven’t really used PowerPoint since high school and it was all was very simple and intuitive. I’m an incoming 2024 SA and was wondering if there is any additional familiarization I should do with the program or is that just excessive?

Do you have any suggestions of what I would do to prepare. I did a little tutorial from something I found on YouTube but it all seemed really basic. Are there certain functions you use in banking that don’t come up in the basic tutorials?
