Haha, when you hear this kind of stuff, you sort of wonder why anyone would kill to work as an associate at one of these funds...unless of course, you need a few more years STARING at excel spreadsheets. Lol.

 

do they perform their own detailed b/s/, i/s/, scf projections, dcf and, multiple valuations?

do they listen in on conference calls, and ask questions?

do they do research on general industries?

 

i don't work at a mega fund (MM), but I have a few friends at mega funds.

analyst / associate responsibilities include:

-LBO Modeling (along w dividend recap modeling) -Memo Drafting -Monitoring portfolio companies (this can range from quarterly monitoring reports to evaluating potential add-on acquisitions) -meeting w management teams, asking questions, taking notes -tracking down industry research, going to trade shows, industry conferences -etc etc etc
