As a SA, you're expected to make some mistakes. But what are your expectations when you're an Analyst just starting? I know you're expected to perform well at both levels regardless, but do firms follow the same "easing in" process or are FT Analysts thrown into the mix immediately.

easing in is normal at any job. No one expects you to know anything during your 1st year (not actual value anyway), just to work hard and have a good attitude.
SA - make me coffee, don't fuck it up. Try not to piss people off. Be mindful of people's time. Talk to everyone, your tasks are irrelevant, unless it involves booking a week end gate-away for me and my girl friend...
FT - work, don't fuck up. Still make my coffee, that will be a lunch order with that. No need to talk to everyone, as now you need to kick ass at the job you have been given.
(Note: DO GET THE BLOODY COFFEE AND OFFER TO GET IT! I never ask an intern for coffee, as it would be rude of me to expect someone to do this for me. However, you are taking some of my time and other people's time, so have the decency of offering, I mean it. There is some people with a small man complex who will make you their bit.ch, good luck with those ass holes, sadly you will have to put up with them)
