Equity Research Role Responsibilities

Hi guys, just wanted to check if these responsibilities are similar to what is done at larger AM firms. I recently joined a boutique AM firm and my main responsibilities as a junior analyst are: analyzing/summarizing earnings transcript, take out various profitability/liquidity ratios and valuation multiples from refinitiv/creating charts with these, trying to find key highlights in earnings/10Ks such as catalyst/risk/etc for the pm. Then I put these all in an internal document. Is this similar to what an ER role at a larger firm would look like? I’m not building any dcf models like we learned in school.
