Does knowing VBA add value to compensation?

My gf and I have been dating for about a year now. She’s a nepo baby and I’m self made (not anywhere close to where she is but I live comfortably). I have a startup that’s eating up my money and rightfully so since it’s in the beginning stages. Gf is telling me she’s not happy that im not spending money on her or giving her the time she wants. I want to marry her but not anytime soon whereas she’s pushing it to be faster. Kind of worried she’s gonna make me choose between my career and her soon
I’m in Denver pulling $95k base, and I’m starting to think I made a massive mistake by choosing work-life balance over a front-office grind. I love leaving the office by 6:00 PM, but seeing the first-year IB guys pulling down six-figure bonuses is demoralizing. Is the only way to break the $150k barrier before turning 30 to move into a revenue-generating role?
I am 63 years old and have 30 years of Collections management experience working in banks . I currently have an individual contributor role job making $110,000 per year . Our office is only 5 people. I report to the owner . I've been here 3 years. I recently received a job offer of $110,000 for a Collections Manager for a Debt Collection law firm. They have a 401K plan but no match. My current job is very low stress , casual dress, and a very easy job. Is this new job worth the move ?
Not really as it just falls under “advanced excel skills”
I’m just saying from the optics perspective it’s not really seen as much different that “advanced excel user”. If you are applying for modeling heavy finance roles then maybe - but I’d specify what you can do with VBA that is relevant to the role like “built lattice models to value complex securities using VBA”.
Not anymore due to more advanced analytics and automation tools being used.
If you’re really good at building macros
No
Vba can be learnt in appx. 2 weeks. So its not a big deal.
