How does being an analyst compare to being an intern?
I'm an incoming analyst who recently got a return offer from my internship. During the internship, I spoke out a lot, asked as many questions as I could, and tried to answer a lot of questions as well, even if I wasn't sure of the answer. I wanted to show my engagement and interest, and I feel its a big reason I got a return offer. All the interns who did not get a return offer were quiet and didn't speak up.
Does that dynamic change once you become an analyst? Do they still want you to speak up, ask questions, and offer your thoughts even if you're wrong? Or do they only like that in interns?
I would appreciate any advice, especially from former interns who converted to FT.
Usually you make more money as an Analyst
Yes lol, but I was wondering more about the dynamic of how to act and when to speak. Because I've heard from other analysts/associates that new analysts should try to talk less and listen more, but when I was an intern, everyone encourages you to speak up. So just wondering about that.
Asking questions (at non-time-crunch and not in front of clients) is always a good thing.
Depends on the questions if it’s intellectual/curiosity driven questions then by all means.
But if we’re trying to work on a book and as an analyst you keep asking dumb questions after x months then no probably wouldnt be good
