How's everyone's summer analyst experience so far? For me, I'm a summer analyst at a BB who started a week ago, and while the first week was pretty intense, it's kind of died down so far post July 4th break.

Mine was shortened to two weeks - man it was like a whirlwind, very intense and very short.
What did you do for those two weeks
that's what she said
did everyone get a return
I think thats honestly messed up to give everyone a return just because of covid. Prove you deserve to be there....
No but they are giving the whole class pass to come straight to superday
mines pretty stupid. lots of training, some fake project stuff (making fake models/pitches that we present), no real deal work. hours are ~30 a week with an additional ~15 on project outside of work.
yep that is basically what mine was. My pitches were to HR which does not even make sense lol.
yep sounds very similar to mine, but also to add - lot of confusion/problem with commuincations, having to email multiple people who sometimes don't reply or reply too late lol
Are we interning at the same place haha.
could be - Is it a big firm with many locations all across the globe?
Working at a MM and have been pretty busy. Worked 65 hours this week despite the holiday.

MM and also fairly busy, staffed on a couple deals already. Team is accelerating the pace due to the internship being shortened + there being a fuck ton of work in my group (healthcare).
na
eb shortened from 10-6 weeks; people are getting staffed on live deals but also have a consulting proj on the side
what does the consulting project look like?
Firm usually partners with a client to assign the summer analysts/associates a broad strategic advisory project. Top teams get to then present to c-suite
In a capital markets team at a BB, working pretty solid hours, not overly worked with stuff but i'm not sure if the team is so busy now. Still putting in 6:30-7:30 every day. Just instead of wandering around the office looking for another coffee i walk around my house looking for food

how do u work on live deals? my BB doesn’t put interns on any live deal related projects due to confidentiality consideration
Removed
Why would someone give this MS?
probably some moelis hardo got upset that he said "solid hours"
how are the social zooms? at a BB and feel like i havent been able to get to know my team well

At an EB and things are going well. Each day is different, some where I'm working from 9am-2am with almost no breaks, and others like today where I have nothing to do. Also have projects to do which helps bridge the time between comments. Pretty enjoyable so far.
How the fuck is this fun lol, sincerely asking bececause I'm also at an EB with a similar experience so far and thinking about utilizing my cs major for ft
At a BB, doing some BS project which includes a 20+ page pitch deck and a simple model. HR said we’ll get to present to senior bankers, but I’m pretty sure they won’t give a shit lol
Did you get a template model or you need to build it from scratch?
bofa - from scratch
Staffed on 3 lives deals + intern project (forecast out client, create DCF, create pitchdeck). Hours 9-6, sometimes starting at 8 if there's a meeting and ending around 8 if there's a lot of work.
