Yes, 1st year analysts do in fact receive business cards and should carry them at their desk and with them to meetings (if ever in attendance). Additionally, I would also recommend slowly accruing a collection of business cards from clients, etc whenever you get them - if for no other reason than to be ready when your D or VP needs the # to so and so from company X - rather than him/her searching through emails, you can pull out the card.

that's why your blackberry syncs with your outlook, so you dont feel like a douche walking around with a rolodex "just-in-case"...
