What to learn/work on before starting FT?

I will be wrapping up my Master's in Finance (in my fourth year) and will be starting full-time in Industrials IB at a MM that is well-regarded in my city.

I am throwing this on here to see if anyone has recommendations of what to learn/study before starting FT next summer. Essentially, what would give me the best leg up when it comes to efficiency, work quality, etc?

Thanks to all and any feedback/ideas would be appreciated!
