preparing for prop career

I am a senior at HYP and recently accepted a ft offer for a prop firm in ny that focusses on etf and index market making. I would like to do some preparation in the coming months and was hoping you guys might suggest me some books, websites, etc. I don't want to say where I will be working but if you are a prop trader in ny we could talk through pm. I have a bunch of questions about trading/living in ny and would appreciate that very much.
