Incoming SA - How to Prep?

Already have group placement, so should I reach out to people before internship? Don't want to come off hardo / bother them too much. Should I expect 100% responses or is it normal to be ghosted?

Also any advice as to how to prepare for the actual work / overall tips would be appreciated!

Read up on your industry, get to know some of the major players and dynamics, what are the common metrics and quirks to their business model or financial statement items, practice some short cuts and brush up on formulas. Get lots of sleep cuz you won’t get much this summer. Remind yourself to be friends with everyone cuz seniors don’t wanna hear about intern class drama.
