Working in PE at the moment but a slow M&A environment and lack of deal execution experience has me feeling rusty and like I'm not developing my modeling skills at all.
Any suggestions for how to upskill in this area? I've tried modeling courses such as the FMVA program (by CFI) but everything seems relatively basic and some of the models I actually come across in the industry are 10x more complex.
