What are IB analysts doing? Programming or writting memo?

Could anyone tell me what is the main skill that a analyst should equipe with? What kind of jobs are they doing everyday? If I just want to do something about IPO or corporate merger, should I apply for the analyst position? Thx!!

judging from his username I would venture to say that he is not a native English speaker

in terms of technical skills, the only thing you should be familiar with are Excel/powerpoint

 

Yes! Excellen ratiocination! I am from China. Thank you very much! The website is awesome!

By the way, it seems like that something does not conform to your habits and it drives you to pay attention to the username. Right? What is it? Is it the way I am speaking with? Or some words I used are not appropriate?
