This summer I'll be interning at a M&A group at a BB. I'm of course excited but a bit nervous since I don't know how much I'm expected to write and what quality it needs to be at. I'm used to more quantative roles so I'm wondering how much writing/typing you're expected to do in a M&A advisory role? Any efficient way to use spellcheck in Excel?

there’s a good amount of typing especially on ppt slides (mostly just processing comments though) but if you can, print your work and read out loud to double check before sending
And hit F7 to spellcheck in excel
I've been an excel monkey for years. At no point did I realise Excel had spellcheck I've been bamboozled. All those spelling mistakes made at 3am in the morning for a 9am presentation were for nothing!
So as someone that struggle with grammar. Grammarly has been really useful in checking all my work.
