0Hi All,
I want to share my experience here and why I chose to take up classes on Advanced excel. This is not technical lesson but a motivation to improve your skills.
I was leading Data Analyst team in a startup company. We had to recruit four data analyst with Advanced Excel, VBA and any database knowledge.
We got around 45 - 70 profiles shortlisted for interview out of 100s of profiles from HR. We were shocked that candidates were not able to answer any Advanced Excel questions who have work experience in Excel for 3 to 4 years. Candidates with Advanced Excel knowledge are lacking VBA knowledge. When they have both of these, database was problem for them.
If you are working in Excel for atleast one year then you must have all related knowledge to get good salary. Advanced Excel ~ VBA ~ Database (Access/SQL Server) are good combination skills to survive in IT industry for atleast 10 years.
Regards,
Sai Krishna.
