Tips for Incoming SA at Tier 1 BB

Hi all,

Would love to hear any tips you may have for me before I start. Would ideally like to convert this to FT, so am looking for the ins and outs of what to do and what not to do.

I have a couple of weeks prior to my start and want to maximise the next few weeks preparing for it. Would also prefer tips that are not related to Excel or pptx.

Thanks in advance!
