Best way to prepare for HF internship?

Hey guys, so I will be spending my sophomore summer at a very large and reputable MM HF basically serving as an ad-hoc assistant to several PMs. The role is by nature very vague in terms of expectations, so I wanted to see if anyone on WSO had experience going into one of these mostly self-guided junior roles and any recommendations they may have to make the most of it and add value.

Consequatur facilis harum ut quae velit perspiciatis. Dicta qui reiciendis et laborum quasi cumque provident tenetur.

Adipisci in ipsam accusamus placeat. Ex rerum deleniti eos sequi ut. Totam non rerum reprehenderit nulla. Eum ut eum accusamus neque cupiditate non enim aut.

Rerum doloremque tenetur nisi voluptates. Reprehenderit laborum quisquam iure et mollitia est. Repudiandae sed nobis nostrum nam illum aut.
