How did you prep for your internship at an EB?

Starting an EB internship in summer and I was wondering what are the best ways to prepare and how you prepared for an internship at an EB and if it is any different for preparing for a BB.

I didn’t — and I got the return offer.

Understand that if you’re smart enough to get an EB offer you’re more than capable of ramping up and doing the necessary “work” to get the stamp of approval for a FT offer. If you don’t get the offer it’s probably because of some other intangible like your personality, attitude, soft-skill aptitude, or some other factor entirely out of your control. It’s not what you want to hear, but for crying out loud, enjoy your last few months doing nothing (read the news and shit obviously) before you have to pound out 80 hour weeks 10x in a row. You’ll thank me later

 

My EB gave prep work, but I was one of the few that did it. Anything you are stressed about will be covered in training and honestly even that is a bit pointless because everything is learned on the job. No need to stress since everyone is understanding and generally patient with interns since they were in your shoes at one point. Just go in hustling, be willing to do extra hours, always offer to help when an analyst seems overwhelmed and the offer is yours.
