First few weeks of IB analyst

I'm soon to start in IB and was wondering what first few weeks will look like? How many weeks of training before I get started on the desk and if WFH is it likely I'll meet the team straight away or do a bit of training then hit the desk? 

Just want to know what first few weeks are typically like!

if ur on cycle i think it's like a month of training before hitting the desk

i started early so on my first day i was setting up it systems and whatever bank platforms and shit and i was staffed on a few deals.

joined on a monday, saw emails with me in cc going back 1-2 weeks, apparently was staffed on transactions before even officially joining lol
