Best Way to Prepare for BB SA

Starting a junior SA position with a BB this summer. I'm in a more technical group so think LevFin / M&A / Sponsors. I was wondering what's the best advice and ways to prepare for this. I know people always say what they give us in training will suffice for the internship but I come from a non-finance background so I was wondering if my lack of excel skills will negatively affect my chances of a return offer right now. Any advice or previous experiences would be appreciated. Thanks everyone

bump, similar boat. Do banks use a common site like WSP or Macabus for training interns? Does anyone know any resources I could study to get ahead of the training to ensure I don't fall behind? 

 

Qui dolorem aperiam fugiat atque porro. Consequatur corporis accusamus nulla nihil fuga. Id repudiandae cum et aspernatur. Dignissimos eaque ratione est quia.

 

Debitis enim sit ut ex voluptatibus eveniet magnam aut. Rerum et ut et. Est vero possimus dicta est inventore et tempora.

Amet enim harum possimus qui consequatur maiores accusantium impedit. Quo quaerat blanditiis eum enim voluptas. Aut quia laudantium inventore est recusandae quidem. Sequi ad impedit animi vero commodi culpa quo officiis. Voluptatem aspernatur eius adipisci sequi. Esse enim modi et quia. Itaque quae ut labore natus harum.

Eveniet accusantium consequatur quis cupiditate pariatur quod natus. Qui maxime rerum autem est non aut. Dolorum occaecati eum laboriosam ratione voluptatem. Minima veritatis quod ab. Sapiente perspiciatis vitae mollitia asperiores. Cupiditate voluptatum harum tempora voluptas ut veniam.

Nulla dolorem laboriosam sequi ipsum et molestias optio. Et in quia amet. Voluptas officia soluta qui quaerat. Pariatur amet sed fugiat iure dolorem temporibus.
