Starting at an MBB out of undergrad in about 2 months. Any words of advice?

Recently graduated from undergrad and will be starting at an MBB soon. Looking for tips on things to be mindful of, skills I should brush up on, or just general words of advice. Thanks.

I would advise you enjoy yourself to the fullest! Full-time work doesn't stop! So it's important to tend to your mental and physical health by creating (or abiding by) some great habits. Whether it be meditation, a workout routine, reading the news, or going for walks. I'd say with many firms, 99% of the skills you need, you'll be trained or have the resources to train yourself once you get through the door. Instead of trying to anticipate these things, take a moment to congratulate yourself, and allow yourself to relax.
