    Not really as it just falls under “advanced excel skills”

    I’m just saying from the optics perspective it’s not really seen as much different that “advanced excel user”. If you are applying for modeling heavy finance roles then maybe - but I’d specify what you can do with VBA that is relevant to the role like “built lattice models to value complex securities using VBA”.

    Not anymore due to more advanced analytics and automation tools being used.

Be honest: how much does company prestige still matter to you? Early on it felt huge, but the older I get, the more I care about the day-to-day experience. Has prestige become less important to you over time?

Does anyone here actually meal prep? Any tips? I just looked at my DoorDash history for the month and I spent more on delivery fees and tips than I did on my actual car payment. Between the 14-hour days and the lack of energy to even boil water, I’ve basically outsourced my entire diet to various apps. And yes, I’m putting on weight.

I’m curious how people think about loyalty now. Companies talk a lot about retention, but employees have learned not to assume stability. Do you still believe in staying long-term at one company?

Our VP mandated that all cameras must be on for every single internal Zoom call. No one is happy. We’re supposed to be hybrid now, but this feels like a passive-aggressive way to make sure we’re sitting rigidly at our desks in full business casual at home. Was never like this when we were fully remote. Is this a reasonable expectation for a modern workplace?
