For becoming a Financial Analyst, only Excel is enough or do we need to learn skills and tools like Python, SQL, POWER BI, Tableau etc that are used by Data Analyst ?

Late to the party, but I just graduated with no internship/work experience and secured a spot as an Associate Financial Analyst at a large tech distributor. I consider myself moderately skilled at excel, and am comfortable with basic levels of PivotTables and excel formulas, but am clueless about macros. I'm super nervous and hope it goes well, definitely going to check out the Udemy course.

Hey great video!

I have been selected to be an intern at a Defense contracting company. I will be starting very soon. I am not even a Finance Major but I am a Business Management Major.

So you had stated that pivot tables is a great tool to learn on Excel, and also being a influential person. What is your vision of a rockstar intern?

about to graduate and will be looking for a job as a financial analyst! thanks for the video! I'm currently taking a course on udemy as well, called the complete financial analyst course from 365 careers. It's been teaching me a lot of excel and just general knowledge. How would you say the stress levels are on this job?

Do you need a Bachelors degree to become a financial analyst?

Hello, can you give a sample video on how you translate data to actionable decision-making? Or how do you convince people on the data?

Would you say that being proficient in google sheets is comparable to having experience in Excel? I feel like there is significant overlap in their functioning and interface.
