If you're a software engineer, are you supposed to be able to build something with VBA even if you've never used VBA before?
Interview Experience
Just because you're a software engineer, does it mean you are expected to be able to build something with VBA? Let's say your specialty is Javascript, Python or C++. Is it fair/reasonable expectation of your employer to ask you to whip something up in VBA, even if you've never used VBA before? (Apparently, VBA is perceived as easier than other programming languages and since MS Office is so commonly used in the workplace, it may be considered a reasonable ask by some, but I'm not 100% sure if it is so I wanted to ask.) Thoughts? Also, is this something you've ever been asked to do in the workplace (even if it wasn't mentioned on the job description)?
