It’s late May, starting as full time analyst in mid-July. What the hell do I do right now?

Trying to prepare myself as well as possible while also enjoying my last bit of freedom. Because interviews are so early these days, I’ve undoubtedly lost a fair bit of my technically ability since last summer.

Other than my series exams, what should I be prioritizing in this limbo land between graduation and full-time work? What should I study up on to ready for day 1?
