Time spent between modelling and Pitch books

Q for those who are/were in a BB or MM bank as an analyst:

Saying that the majority of work that's completed as an analyst is creating pitch books and modeling, how would you say your time is split between these two activities? Are there any other major activities which I am leaving out?

Also, if you're open to it, please leave the product/industry group that you are in, as that plays a major role in how your time is split up between these activities, ie. lev fin spends a lot more time modeling than most other groups.

TIA

 

In addition to the things you mentioned, I also spend a fair amount of time in CapitalIQ pulling and analyzing comparable companies. I also spend a lot of time researching various sub-sectors to further understand the markets that companies we deal with play in.

In terms of split, I'd say pitch books 50%, with the rest about evenly split between modeling and research.
