Joining the industry in the near future and was wondering what the expectations for juniors are from around Dec 24-January 1. I understand that it probably varies a lot, but was just wondering.

I have done nothing this week and am praying it stays like this through NYE
Been dreaming if the year could go like the last three weeks of the year. Won’t even need log in or move the mouse to fake I’m “green”.
things slow down around the holidays. most banks will generally respect PTO if you take it - they make sure there are enough analysts "working" during any given time for coverage purposes. You may still get your vacation ruined by a holiday deal, but this usually only happens to a few analysts
i haven't done shit this week
I was chilling until Monday when a couple live things hit the fan.
Not the holiday season I was looking for…
I never understood why this happens. If live shit is hitting the fan it means a client is driving their process forward from Christmas to NYE. Who does this? Your bolt on M&A is not that important
Haven’t done anything this week asides from quick 20 min tasks here and there but in back of my mind there’s always the fear that something will come up. So haven’t really made plans.
Driving toward VA tomm and doing ridiculous things like leaving at 730am and hopefully be at my destination well before 1pm so can cover up any tasks which the analyst can’t get to.
This job really gets suffocating at times..
Was on two live deals and got cheeked up last year. Had a few pitches this month but dead quiet other than those.
Comes down to luck of the draw.
