This is uncannily similar to my experience. Only difference is that I don't volunteer for more work, and I am actively looking to move to another role. Glad to know I'm not the only one.
I would love to move. However, I have only been here less than half a year and haven't learn anything/skills that will help me formy exit opps yet. The HF/ Buy side will ask what have I learned.
I really like the post though, thanks so much. Have you experienced a similar situation?
As a desk manager with multiple rotational analysts, I can attest it is difficult to keep everyone busy. You have to find projects that are long and interesting enough while still fitting the skill set of the noobs. The best advice I can give is to talk with the traders and see what they need. Don't wait for you manager to come up with another one week project.
The way I see the rotations is, I have some menial stuff that needs to get done and hopefully some interesting stuff. In exchange you sit on the desk for a year and have complete unadulterated access to the entire bench. These folks aren't asshats; they will take a genuine interest in teaching you (as they did me a long time ago). Make the menial stuff more efficient, give yourself more time with the traders, soak up everything you can, make relationships that will pay at the end of all the rotations.

@arrhythmiatic: What product is your desk trading and where are you looking to move?
don't mean to dampen your (or anyone else's) fervor for trading...if that is what you really want, power to you.
but do yourself a favor and read this first (esp. the first and last posts by brotherbear): wallstreetoasis .com/blog/routes-to-buyside-pm

Hey go get me some coffee. Thanks.
anyone else? I just joined so it is hard for me to find another role as I have no tangible and transferrable skills yet.
