Coverage Banking at a BB is not a holistic experience

Unless you're at Goldman, they really screw you over by not letting you model much. It's such an important skillset for a banker or financier. It hurts your career prospects and pins you to coverage banking (maybe that's why they do it...)

At least in my bank, industrials analysts see lot of volume (team is very high in league tables) and get a lot of modeling exposure because of it. Like I said, group/bank dependent.

Not having to model everyday is a blessing tbh. You can always supplement your modeling skill on the side if you're that worried.

You'll get plenty of excel experience in the background even in a coverage group where M&A holds the model. Focusing on the industry & valuation pages allow you to gain a different skill that enables you to learn more about the macro & bigger picture. I believe that skill set is more valuable than pure modeling in the long run, as once you get senior that's the most important feature of a banker to a client.
