Incoming MBA Summer Associate Advice NEEDED!!!!!!

Hey everyone,

Incoming MBA Summer Associate at a super Bulge Bracket (GS/MS/Scotia). Would love to hear some advice from the community from preferably those at other super Bulge Brackets (GS/MS/Scotia).

Thanks everyone!

Hi "PrestigiousCanadian", firstly I would recommend refreshing your knowledge on what is considered a "super bulge". Scotia is where your granny keeps her checking account that sends you 5 dollars for your birthday every year. Secondly, not sure how much your MBA from Phoenix University taught you about banking but as an associate I would touch up on your background knowledge. I have written the name of a book I believe most Scotia analysts receive on day one. Investment Banking For Dummies Book by Matt Krantz and Robert Johnson.
