Starting at a B4 Post Merger Integration group as an experienced hire (SA level). Have done some M&A work before but I really want to hit the ground running. Any online resources or courses I can take before starting that will help me come in as prepared as possible? I have around a month before I officially start.

Thanks.

The team I am on is small and I know that when I leave, they’ll have a lot on their hands. I only have a couple of interviews scheduled and nothing is solid yet.
