In general, people who have been in the Research Analyst role for a while will be the managers and primary mentors of new Research Analysts. There will be regular (~weekly) scheduled checkins as well as informal interaction as needed (e.g., over Slack).
There’s no hard line between training and “just doing the work”—every assignment should have some direct value and some training value. We expect to lean pretty hard toward the training end of the spectrum for people’s first few months, then gradually move along the spectrum to where assignments are more optimized for direct value.
