Brush your Excel and Powerpoint skills, you will spend a lot of time with those. If you are going to cover a specific industry, better start reading about it.
In fact, you can reach out to your bank/group and ask if there is anything you can start learning right now, what materials you should read etc. - I have done that and they seemed really happy that I was motivated to learn before joining.
If you know your coverage yet, tune into the Q2 earnings calls (end of July, early August) for companies in your sector to get up to speed
Don't know what I'll be on yet but that's great advice thanks, going to do some reading on their key coverage areas
In the same boat as you, starting in a month. Just keeping up to date with any news related to my industry, as well as reading up a on terminologies as well as valuation methods used so I can hit the ground running.
Going into my senior year and want to go into ER but don't have internship exp in ER, do you have any tips on what you did to prepare for interviews or to get interviews?
I was just networking with a few firms that published graduate roles and hit it off with them pretty well. I'd say networking for me was the major foot in the door. Otherwise start building a complete 3 statement model for a company and project it for 5 years using equity research guidance and create a stock pitch for it. There are not alot of roles for grads so you wont get multiple opportunities, just be prepared for the ones you do get.
