What does a VC analyst actually do?

Hey guys, I am interning at a top BB (GS, MS, JP) but am interested into the VC, start up space. However I was wondering what do VCs actually? I mean besides listening to pitches, sourcing and looking at market potential etc. What are the day to day tasks at a VC? How does it differ to partners? Is it a good idea to switch from BB IBD to VC? Would love to hear your thoughts.
