What does the day look like?
About 80% of your time is spent on demanding technical tasks rather than high-stakes trading. You build financial forecasting models (DCF, LBO, and three-statement models) in Microsoft Excel, extract and clean data from filings like SEC 10-Ks or terminals like Bloomberg and FactSet, and draft investment memos. Only about 20% of the job involves listening to corporate earnings calls, conducting channel checks, and pitching investment theses to portfolio managers.
Work hours are long and demanding. In investment banking and sell-side research desks, analysts routinely work 65 to 85 hours per week during peak reporting seasons. Buy-side asset managers typically require 50 to 60 hours per week. Night work is common, driven by deal closing deadlines and earnings releases across different international time zones.
