Versatile software engineer with a background in .NET consulting and CMS development. Working on regaining my embedded development skills to get more involved with IoT opportunities.
Excel is probably one of the biggest application platforms in the world, unfortunately. There are companies out there where major operations take place in a magic spreadsheet that was designed 10 years ago by some bored intern who is now long-gone. No one understands how it works or what it does, and it breaks if you stare at it the wrong way. So they deal with it because no one wants to decipher the requirements represented by that application.
There's always going to be a place for it, but it probably is not the place that you want to be! If it really is super important, wait until they have resigned to paying a consultant $150/hr to figure it out and counteroffer :P
