Post-Offer Clarity

Signed an offer for IB Summer Analyst at one of the largest banks in the country for sophomore summer. Now what...? I feel so weird. Don't have a community to celebrate with since my nontarget has a super toxic IB tryhard community (no one has ever broken in).

I mean I do enjoy the work, definitely hope I'm not a bad intern. Was in Corp Dev doing M&A freshman summer and was asked to return, I'd say I'm happy with the work. I've just been working towards a "real" offer for so long I kinda am struggling with the feeling now that I have it.
