Hi All,
Wanted to get people's thoughts on what are best practices for going in as an associate at an investment bank. Everything from managing relationships, to modeling best practices, to pitchbook best practices, to how to manage analysts, to tips/tricks you've learned over the years.
Thanks, appreciate it.
