It shouldn't be wildly different in terms of work flow or dress, although you may or may not do more modeling, depending on what type of buyside firm you were at before, and there will probably be a lot more writing. Management might treat you differently and be less open to questioning than you are used to. A lot will depend on which specific industry you cover and the personality of the analyst you work for. Good luck, that sounds like an exciting relocation.
