Good online courses for PIVOT tables and V Look Up? I haven’t touched these since an Excel class in college and the recruiter is saying I should brush up for an Excel test given in the interview process.

I have an interview with GS for a Risk Analyst position coming up. Anyone here have any positive/negative experiences in the role? Things to be aware of? I’m not expecting to get far in the process but it’s a nice surprise to get a call back.

I interviewed with a company about a month ago (internal recruiter call and one call with management) and did not receive an offer. Since then I saw another posting for another location but it’s the same recruiter. We emailed back and forth and he scheduled a call with him before he schedules the management ones. Should I bring up that we’ve done this before?

Anyone working for or have insight into Viking Global? What’s the culture like, work/life balance, etc. I’m currently in a smaller shop where I have lots of autonomy, flexibility and are well compensated (200k base plus bonus/deal participation). I’m lacking mentorships and fear getting too comfortable and for the learning curve to stagnate. The recruiter is telling me 400-500k total comp, but the position would be a steps down in terms of title/autonomy, and far less front facing. Any advice?
