I would run through a modeling course if you need a little more practice on technical. Being solid on the modeling side can always help. Otherwise enjoy your freedom while you can.
word. thank you.
You're incoming FT or a lateral?
Lateral
Take a vacation. Vegetate at home. Exercise. Wipe your mind for 3 weeks. Do models the last half week.
Literally spend one hour a day learning about banking crap and that's all. no more than 60 minutes on this shit a day. spend the other 23 hours of the day doing whatever the hell you want.
you might be dumb enough to convince yourself that you want to be studying this crap instead of having fun but boy will you regret it when this crap is literally all you do and you'll have no time for anything else
