IB Analyst Prep

A few months back, I received and accepted an offer from a leading MM firm as an IB analyst. Coming from a background predominantly in wealth management internships and currently studying for the CFP, IB marks a significant shift for me. While I'm excited about this new opportunity, I realize I have much to learn about the world of investment banking.

I'm seeking advice on how to best prepare myself before diving into my new role. My aim is to hit the ground running and excel in both technical know-how and modeling skills. Any insights on effective preparation strategies and recommended resources would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
