22 years-old 1st year analyst: Any advice to start on the right foot is welcome.

Hello everybody,

I'm a long-time lurker on this site, finally decided to say hi.

About me: -Just turned 22 years old three days ago. -Did a 9-month CF internship in a bank, a 3-month CF internship in a big4, and a 3-month AM internship. -Started a new job as a credit risk analyst in a commercial bank 3 months ago. -Still having doubts about breaking into IB or CF as an analyst. -CFA Part I candidate.

Any advice to start on the right foot as an analyst is welcome!
