I imagine SA aren’t trusted to have too much real responsibility, but I can’t imagine that all they do “arrange powerpoints.” So what do they actually do on a day to day basis?

Lmao at #4 agreed
Lol #4 is basically all I've been doing... and I can solidly say I have way too much knowledge about an incredibly niche sector and the project most likely won't get done. Feelsbad

Mess things up

interns at my BB (and most others I think) aren't allowed to be staffed on any deals for this summer yea its unfortunate but what can you do
I am very disappointed with the answers above, I was hoping it was a lot more like American Psycho. Need to go away now and rethink my life.
u need to go to asia for that..
