How to get ready for SA internship 2026

title pretty much — the basic advice people give is to simply do the pre training work you are sent and maybe brush up on powerpoint / excel skills. I'm sure this is enough so not trying to be a hardo or anything, but just wanted to start a thread as many of us head to our internship, it may be helpful for a lot of us to just hear some other best practices or other things to do to get ready for our internship (reading up on industry trends, paying attention to deals etc.) to secure a return offer. Thanks!
