In just a few months I'll be starting my first day as an analyst and I'd like to be as efficient as possible with my work. I'm just wondering if there are any tools juniors often use to effectively expedite work. It'd be great to become familiar with them before my first day. Also any other general tips on how to make a more positive impact early on would be well received. Thanks for any help!

Hey! I use a mix of ChatGPT Deep Research and Claude 3.7 for more investment memo, deeper research activities - also good for sourcing and due diligence tasks. For more data and output stuff, I've been using other tools like TinyDash - essentially helps me create data dashboards and memos real quick. Happy to share more if you're interested.
