I don't DO the research.
The company pays analysts millions of dollars a year to write the research. I am the go-between of the analyst who doesn't have time to speak to every mutual fund that wants to hear what he/she has to say and the portfolio managers in mutual fund or hedge funds that don't have time to read every piece of research that 50 different wall st firms put out to them on a daily basis.
So I have to read the research, and understand the research, explain it quickly.
So it's just a typical sales job. I just happen to be selling research.
