Does knowing VBA add value to compensation?
Hi Everyone, I have been having trouble finding a new job (10 months and counting) as a Project Manager despite my extensive experience in the financial industry, I don't want to speculate on the reasons, but now I'm getting to the point of applying for jobs at Walmart or Costco so I can pay my bills more easily, I'm fine with this because work is work but I can't help but think that there may be other options for work that I'm just not considering, or not know about. Any thoughts? Thanks
My gf and I have been dating for about a year now. She’s a nepo baby and I’m self made (not anywhere close to where she is but I live comfortably). I have a startup that’s eating up my money and rightfully so since it’s in the beginning stages. Gf is telling me she’s not happy that im not spending money on her or giving her the time she wants. I want to marry her but not anytime soon whereas she’s pushing it to be faster. Kind of worried she’s gonna make me choose between my career and her soon
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?
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 if anyone has ever turned down a job because the interview process felt chaotic or disrespectful. It seems like a preview of what the culture might be like. Have you ever walked away because of the process?
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.
If you’re really good at building macros
No
Vba can be learnt in appx. 2 weeks. So its not a big deal.
