Not in AM but I would think "actionable insight" would be helpful. Ask yourself how your work can be translated into pnl (is it more focused on allocations or does it provide short term signals - how does it hold up in major market events and if there's any proposed strategy, how does the backtest look).
Prepare questions for the networking session that makes you stand out individually - try getting a follow up coffee meet solo because throwing your teammates under the bus is in the GS DNA

​I won’t lie, it hit me really hard. My confidence took a serious hit.
​But quitting isn't in my DNA.
I took a step back, cleared my
head, and reset.
Today, the consistent green is finally back.
​The comeback starts here.
We keep building.

Okay, let me break this down real slow for you since you're clearly not getting it: Bill Gates co-founded Microsoft in 1975, ran it as CEO for 25 years until 2000, stayed Chairman until 2014, and was still on the board as tech advisor until he fully stepped down in March 2020 meaning every Epstein meeting and email dump that's blowing up right now happened while he was literally still at the top of the company he built.
Sure, Nadella runs ops now, but Gates is the founder whose DNA, fortune, networks, and legacy ARE Microsoft, exactly like Steve Jobs still defines Apple years after dying.
So quit with the brain-dead "but he's not CEO anymore" cop-out the guy who created the empire and steered it for decades owns way more of the scrutiny for his-era scandals.

Extension of the thinking:
Now coming to the second part, where the retail investor’s mind gets seduced and trapped even before they make an investment... is when they start believing a salesman from Motilal Oswal, or a YouTuber, or Instagram reels, and ignore the wisdom of greats like Charlie Munger, who built billions of dollars from scratch and was one of the rare individuals whose incentives were always aligned with society, largely influenced by Ben Franklin and both had same core DNA of being ethical and not aliginithing with the toxicity of capitalism and munger was without a doubt one of the most intellectual and well read men of the last century.
It’s just like the Indian Constitution , borrowed from I think 158 countries and then adjusted for local realities.
Wherever we didn’t make those adjustments, we still see conflicts, because you need to adapt to India’s reality and diversity. If we had just dumped the American Constitution or British Constitution or Russian Constitution completely, it would have never worked.
Similarly, in finance, you need to adjust for India’s financial structure, interest rates, currency depreciation, and macro realities. Blindly following Western frameworks is just a trap.
And one more thing, in both life and investing, anything marketed as “safe” is often the biggest illusion and trap. It’s designed to keep you caged without you even realizing it.
So whether it’s investing, finance, or careers, you have to make adjustments and position yourself accordingly. Otherwise, you’re just moving endlessly on a treadmill and going nowhere.

Nifty deserves single digit PE. And it will reach there eventually, if the companies don't change their DNA. Unfortunately, common people trying to plan their goals 15-20 years ahead will be totally burnt.
