Hi there WSO I know a question that has probably been asked a million times before but help is always appreciated. I am starting as a SA at a BB this summer, working the the Sponsors group. What skills do I need to be efficient at in order to get that FT offer? I'm not that proficient at Excel so obviously I need to work on that, any modeling skills needed? Thanks

Your firm will place you in an Excel bootcamp for the first two weeks, so just try to absorb as much of it as you can.
Other than that, face time, and make sure you're liked.
depends on the bank actually. are you going into an execution Sponsors group (BAML/CS/Citi) or is it origination (GS/JPM)? if latter, you would hardly do any modeling
Any more advice for an execution group?
