Just got my first PE/AM Internship. Advice? (Sophomore)

Hey All,

Just got my first serious internship in Private Equity/Asset Management, I'm a sophomore going into it so probably a bit lacking on experience on the technical side– but I just wanted to know if there were any good pointers in terms of etiquette/simple business nuances that someone my age might not know going in that might help me make a good impression? I've never worked at a public company before, so I feel like the atmosphere and work etiquette has to be slightly different from startups/small firms.
