What do Summer Analyst actually do?

Sounds like a dumb question but what can a SA expect to be doing during their internship?

I know firms are different in how they structure their programs and every staffing may look different on a day to day. But if anyone can speak on the overall view of responsibilities that the firm trusts interns to do.

I’m curious to know what I should be doing to do good during my internship.

To do good on your internship you should Google questions which likely already have answers

 

Technically I'm answering your question mate

You really think you're the first person to ask this on this forum? You very obviously haven't googled it
