Re: What does one actually do in a trading desk analyst position?
It seems like assistant work and data mining. Usually a team of traders will have a few assistants taking all sorts of information down on high/low performers, stock deslistings, insitutional block holdings, market sentiment, chart data of traders risk in excel, etc....

You will definitely learn alot about the markets they trade but you will probably go through shit work for 1-2 years.
