Technical Skills to Prep for SA S&T
Hey yall
I will be interning at a BB this upcoming summer and was wondering if there were any technical skills in particular that I should prepare for before I start my internship. Should I primarily focus on getting acquainted with VBA or would it be helpful to dive into SQL and learn some more python? For past interns, what was your experience like, and did yall use any python, VBA or SQL? I will be working on the commodity side of things btw.

It is going to be desk specific. My desk and a lot of the ones I knew other SA's on were mainly given work with VBA, but I do know one person that was told to use python for his assignments. If you know python already then VBA should be really easy to pick up, I had zero use with it in college and basically learned how to use it within 1 workday (with hella Google help ofc). If you know the basics of how to code and know how to properly search on Google for your problems, then you should be fine with both python and VBA. Imo, knowing what to search in Google is like half the work when it came to these assignments lmao. You should ask your desk for specifics though they will tell you which languages they use.
I would also definitely come into it being up to date on market trends, and thinking how your desk's product fits in to the overall macro picture. Being up to date on what is going on and how it affects your desk will be good.
Wonder if it’s the same if I am gonna work in the sales team?
Thanks!
I am honestly not sure about sales, however python for a sales SA seems like a bit much, I wouldn't expect anything more than VBA. I could be wrong though not entirely sure.
Are you on the sales or trading side? Or is it rotational?
Should be rotational but I think 2/3 of the internship I will be on the trading side of things.
Also an incoming SA in S&T. Did three superdays and they all asked me if I know python (sadly no). I am planning to learn the basics before the summer starts, but maybe you can wait for the desk assignment comes out and ask directly
