Hi all,
I'm starting full-time this year and was interested in seeing what you guys recommend I review/study before starting as a full-time analyst at a boutique investment bank. I want to make sure that when I get in I'm sharp and ready to go. I appreciate the help.

Just a couple things that come to mind, good luck!!
Point 2 is actually pretty underrated for a 1st year. Most 1st years will be slow and spend several more hours than they need to just because they aren't familiar with shortcuts or how to effectively use Excel or Powerpoint. If you can master at least the most commonly used or helpful shortcuts like CTRL+SHIFT+Drag with your Mouse to copy an aligned object, then you will save a lot of time down the line compared to other analysts who will realize or be told how to do this several months in.
