pre-internship training..

Hi all,

I'm an incoming IB intern looking for some advice/recommendations.

1. Do any recent interns recommend prepping for their stint? Or would you advise I just get the gears turning a little again then rely on bank provided training?

2. If you recommend prepping, what are good resources to use i.e. is their a prep guide I should look into?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated. I hope you all had a great holiday.

Thanks

Training the bank gives is sufficient for vanilla groups, but good luck if you're in anything specialized. I had no relevant training for my group and then no return offer because not technically proficient enough even though no training and no exposure during internship lol
