Currently a summer analyst at a BB, we just finished training and are starting to get put on live deal experience. My deal also has two summer associates, where should the summer analyst fit in? What are the default dynamics between them since we are all interns? If anyone who has already started their live deal experience this summer has input, I would be grateful.

You answer to the summer associates. You both answer to the full time analyst.
if the analyst has more free time, they’ll divide work amongst the three of you. If they’re very busy and /or trust the summer associate, they’ll assign work to them who will in turn assign work to you.
i have virtually no interaction with my associate, only my summer associate. Is this normal?
Do you have interaction with the analyst? If you work with the analyst but not the associate, that's normal. If you don't work with either, that's definitely not. Would speak to your staffer
Hopefully consensual, but given the 2 v 1 Eiffel tower scenario, have no fear none you have a clue what's going on. So sit back and enjoy the most awkward 3some!
summer associates shit on the chest of the summer analyst's. One by one. No exceptions
My summer associate is a chiller
In a big group with lots of summer analysts/associates, and I've had zero interaction w my summer assc, only full time
do you and your summer assc have different tasks? Also in a big group, but the full-time assc always assigns work for the summer analysts and assc to do together
Current summer associate and I'm basically reporting to the FT analyst alongside the SA. The way I look at it, we are both interns and therefore equals for the summer.
On some other teams it has felt more like the summer associate was paired up with the FT associate and the SA was paired up with the FT analyst. But most of my teams have been like the first example I used.
How do you divide work with the SA? Are you typically the one to send over the finalized product to the FT analyst?
Ehh yeah pretty much. We review eachothers work. I usually hit send on the email but not all the time.
When I was a summer associate, we were told to split the work with summer analysts.
Answer to Summer Asso, but they are usually chiller cuz they’re also new and looking to get a FT too.
What is the Summer Asso isn't chill? Am at a bank known for lower return rates and the Summer Assos also seem pretty competitive with one another, most of the times the Summer Asso asks me to do the work then he sends the email over saying "I" put this together, I'm worried that if the FTs aren't aware that I'm putting in the work with the Summer Asso it'll affect my own return...
