Yeah, upskill with AI and get dialed in on your toolkit on excel and analysis. Ignore these people saying “just relax and enjoy the time” like you’re not in grade school about to go off to summer camp lmao. This is real hard work in a world that is literally changing and getting upended WEEK BY WEEK due to AI and you’re going to sit for months on your ass thinking it’s just business as usual?

Could you elaborate? Learning excel is one thing and easily self directed but how do you "dial in" your analysis skills? Read the news??

No, and congrats!
