How do you use your downtime/free time to become a better banker?
I will be starting an IB internship in a few days and my aim is to start full-time in IB once my master's is done (2024). My ambition is to prepare myself to the greatest extent possible and also use any eventual downtime during my internship effectively. It would be great to know what you guys do on a day-to-day basis during downtime/free time to become better bankers. Looking forward to reading your answers!
Don’t want to sound like a hardo, but if you have a lot of free time during your internship, it means you’re not taking the best out of it. My advice is when a task is not time pressured, to learn to do it without using the mouse (esp in PPT and XLS). If you work hard, rest is important too, as it allows to consolidate what you have learnt
Good tip! I learned to use excel/pp/word without a mouse from doing the CFI FMVA course and it has helped me out A LOT for repetitive tasks like formatting, special pasting etc. Also appreciate the tip of taking time to learn when the task is not time-pressured, rather than just finishing it and asking for something else to do. Do you have any advice for how to best learn outside of the internship (will have plenty of free time during my master's when I'm not at an internship)?
