Intern Analyst Advice M&A

Hey guys/girls

I was a summer analyst at BoAML in IBD in London last year and didn't get an offer.

I have managed to secure another internship at CS also in IBD after I graduate.

My main problem was being slow at excel and powerpoint, could someone recommend a good guide for me to buy and practice?

Also, specifically to powerpoint, my team used something called 'Powerpitch' is there any way i could get my hands on that version of Powerpoint to practice on as it is quite different from the normal powerpoint application.

Finally, can anyone shed some light on CS IBD and which groups I should look at joining?

Many thanks

Unplug your mouse - you will have no choice but to use hotkeys and ingrain them into muscle memory. It will be slow at first but keep at it.
