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?

In my group —
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
Lmao #4 is my life right now. Totally agree with the above statement tool
Mess things up
honestly you do analytics on the stuff the real team doesn’t have much time for. It’s still quality and quantitative work, but less liable work.
then again I was a SA in 2005
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..
