Getting ready for summer intern 2026

Honestly, I had no idea or what to say on to how I got an offer from JPMC and currently working for a PE own company in global manufacturing with no connections or networking.

I should be happy but genuinely terrified because I came from a CS and Math background but to use excel is something I am not familiar with at all. I tried my best to study and learn outside of work however I am more concerned that I won't be good enough for the job honestly by the time my internship is over.

Would love to get some advice what are some technical skills set I should be knowing to help prepare for my internship bedside excel? Any resources everyone recommend to learn?

Honestly, I am currently struggling so hard even with my currently internship and I want a head start by not being surprised to what I will be doing. Thank you! I just feel like I'm in a different plane right now.
