I've seen how this works at somewhat close quarters. They are expected to shadow a manager (or their mentor or somebody senior), go to meetings, take notes, prepare presentations, revise presentations, rework presentations because their boss' boss' boss didn't like it, prepare reports for that meeting at 9am tomorrow morning.
It's essentially grind work (which also includes bringing coffee/lunch or if you really are up to it, walking the boss' dog). It makes me wonder if they ever get to learn anything at all, but I guess making presentations and creating good first impressions matter a lot in the long run. But what do I know.

Depending on the role, the financial modeling skills learned as a junior banker are pretty much unparalleled vs any other opportunity straight out of undergrad.
