Internship offer at 15 (NOT A NEPOBABY)

I went to a PE/IB Conference and emailed a CEO of a pretty big Investment Bank in the CEE that was present on that conference.

I got a response, surprisingly - and got invited to get a coffee with his VP at their office.

Had a extremely light interview, and got offered a 9 month internship at the spot.

For context, My family doesn't know ANYONE in finance whatsoever.

I do come from a wealthier background.

(I have a €300K stock portfolio and a crypto portfolio with a few tens of thousands in + also done an alternative private equity deal with a older friend of mine - where we bought and then sold a small business)

Im gonna be honest, I'm shitting my pants a bit since im starting on the first of December.

Not sure where to go after this - any opinions or tips would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I mentioned above i do come from a wealthier background. 

"not a nepo" in the form that my dad doesn't know anyone in that bank or finance whatsoever.

Yes, I do have a 300k portfolio, where i only put 70k in from running socials for real estate developers over half a year's span. The rest was from my parents, and they specifically want money back from it.
