Incoming SA - feel clueless

So I finally landed an investment banking internship early last year. But besides basic accounting and conceptual questions (some of which I already feel like I have forgotten) I feel completely unprepared. My final round interviews were mostly behavioral with very easy conceptual questions.

I’m pursuing a B.B.A in college so I have already taken courses like accounting and corporate finance but I have also forgotten everything we learned since finishing those classes. In short, I wanted to ask if there were any specific resources or guides you guys would recommend for myself as an incoming SA to be adequately prepared for the job. Placement day is coming up and I’m having feelings of extreme impostor syndrome 🤣

 

Not a big deal. Just learn from a course and on the job.
