got a buyside offer to work on emerging market equities, what should I do to prepare myself

I graduated from college in 2017 and went straight to business school. During business school, I took a few internships in hedge fund, private equity and family office, but not really have any full-time industry experience. I am passionate about investing and luckily got an offer to work on emerging market equities at an investment management firm based out of New York. I'd appreciate any advice to prepare for a good start!
