I recently landed a summer 2021 IB internship and am excited to start next summer. however is there any skills that I should be preparing now to possibly get ‘ahead of the curve’? I have a solid understanding of economics and intermediate excel skills. I follow the news very closely and am wondering if there are any concrete skills that I should add to my pallet over the course of this summer while I have extra time on my hands. ~cheers!

I’m in a similar position and got my offer a little over a month ago. I don’t think we’ll need to do too much to prepare, so I’m working on learning at my own pace. I’ve started reading every day and it’s been great, so I highly recommend that. I’m also working on my excel and PowerPoint skills and trying to learn new formulas/memorizing shortcuts. Other than all that I’m just hoping to relax a little bit, as it feels weird to not be networking/studying for interviews anymore since I spent so much time doing that for the past several months.
hey, also in the same position. Are you guys still networking with people at your bank over this summer/next school year?
I’ve already gotten my group placement, so I’m not networking within the bank as of now. I’m going to reach out to a an MD and a couple Analysts in my group that I liked from networking/interviews at the end of the summer to catch-up. I will probably do this again in January of next year.
How are you going about it?
That's also what I'm thinking—just a periodic check-in with an analyst I'm close with and the MD of my group.
I'm just worried I don't really have anything to say to them now that recruiting is over lol, and I don't want to seem like I'm schmoozing them and being a try hard
