Starting as an Analyst. Any words of advice?

So I will be starting as a valuation analyst at Duff and Phelps latest July and this is my first real full-time position. I would like any advice on how best to prepare in terms of the actual work, the people and anything that would help me perform well from the beginnning. 


Thank you WSO for your help during my job search period. Although I rarely post on here, been following the content for at least a year and I can say that I was encouraged by the posts and responses that I have seen.
