Best Prep for SA

Hello everyone,

I am an incoming SA at one of the boutiques (PJT/LAZ/MOE) in the states for the 2025 summer. As the summer gets closer and closer, I get more worried and terrified about not getting the return offer. Any tips on how I can best prepare for the internship, especially with regards to the type of platform that I will be interning at?
