So I somehow landed a gig in an MM private equity firm fresh out of uni with a degree in pol science and economics. The only real experience I've had with excel was a lone stats unit 3 years ago where we had to construct pivot tables. Any good resources to speed up my excel workflow? Had my mind blown yesterday when someone, demonstrating something, hit a bunch of keys to change loving text alignment Youtube excel videos seem to be uniformly narrated by people with near-unintelligible accents, or speaking as if afraid that they might wake someone up

I guarantee if I started Googling people from around the bank at least half of the names I remember will be on buyside "Team" pages. Yeah, lateraling into a top-tier PE fund isn't likely since they tend to be a little more structured with recruiting, but pretty much everyone besides the Blackstones and KKRs of the world is going to be interested in banking associates with a solid modelling skillset and the ability to think critically1. poo poo, a PE fund poached an entire vertical from my group, two Associates, a VP and an MD all at once, and several other VPs (and at least one other MD) I worked with also made similar moves. I know a couple other guys who went from being IB associates to hedge funds, including some of the big names--for example Och Ziff, back when it was, y'know, solvent.2 One of elementary school (lmao) classmates went from a literal 2nd year (well closer to 3 but who's counting) analyst at Goldman to KKR Probably partly attributable to our country not being as competitive as UK or US yet enough of a financial center to have both Goldman and KKR though
