I love how perfectly you captured the accounting experience. Even other accountants are amazed by my accounting skills which is crazy because I don’t think I’m that good. I just know how to thoroughly abuse VLUs and If statements. I’ve always wanted to get a handle on VBAs and macros beyond googling what I need and copy pasting the coding. Did you learn it in college? I’ve also heard LinkedIn has some stuff, but idk if it’s any good.
i didn't learn shit in college!! absolutely baffling how little excel we learned. we took one class for a small amount of microsoft access not exceeding the amount i learned in middle school to build a database of animal crossing collectibles. other students in my accounting classes would opine over how much they hated excel and preferred just handwriting things on a ledger sheet?? fucking wild, good luck weirdos.
anyway my embarrassing confession is that one summer in college i took this udemy course that i paid $12 for and it gave me the foundation for everything i've done since then. except powerquery which i learned later while trying to do something similar to powerquery using vba and someone asked me why the fuck i was doing that. you could probably find something just as good for free on youtube but the presence of assignments and little graded quizzes turned out to be vital in tricking me into actually learning it.
