So full-time recruiting has wrapped up and I thankfully came away with an offer. Can anyone give me advice on what I should be doing from now until I start in the summer? Especially first and second year analysts, what do you wish you had known and prepared for going in?
Finally, if I'm thinking about PE/Hedge fund in the future, should I start networking now? What else should I be doing on that front?

.. Enjoy your senior year
Enjoy yourself; learn a hobby that's easier to learn as a 20-something but you can keep up for a long time. If you have a couple thousand, maybe check out hang gliding or sportsbikes; if you have hundreds, maybe pick up chess, field sports, or a martial art.
if you have some time and want to do something for business school in the future, study a bit for the gmat outside of enjoying yourself
Congrats on the offer! I agree that outside of enjoying yourself and making sure you don't fail your classes, study for the GMAT if you're planning to go to bschool. Gonna be easier to study now than when you're working your tail off at your job.
Thanks guys. I'm definitely enjoying senior year already. I plan on studying for GMAT starting soon but was wondering if I should start learning things that might be useful on the job. Would anyone recommend taking like BIWS excel modelling courses or anything similar?
Also, what about starting to prepare for exit opportunities down the road? Or am I jumping the gun here?
