How does being an analyst compare to being an intern?

I'm an incoming analyst who recently got a return offer from my internship. During the internship, I spoke out a lot, asked as many questions as I could, and tried to answer a lot of questions as well, even if I wasn't sure of the answer. I wanted to show my engagement and interest, and I feel its a big reason I got a return offer. All the interns who did not get a return offer were quiet and didn't speak up.

Does that dynamic change once you become an analyst? Do they still want you to speak up, ask questions, and offer your thoughts even if you're wrong? Or do they only like that in interns?

I would appreciate any advice, especially from former interns who converted to FT.
