Internal Laterally into M&A group as a an intern
So i'm a soph intern rn as a financial analyst at a fortune 5 rn for healthcare, and they have a M&A program for next summer of 2025. I emailed seniors in that group for coffee chats and other previous M&A interns that are working FT now. (they should respond and most likely will have coffee chats with them next week)
Im interested in M&A but im not too familiar with the technicals yet, im worried if i get to the later interview stages im going to get destroyed if they ask me technicals.
I also have to reach out my manager but idk how to tell her i wanna try for another position in the firm without making it seem like i dont like what im doing rn ( I do, but i think M&a would be cooler/more interesting ),
Anyone got good advice to safely lateral into this group and secure an seat in their intern M&A group for next summer?
EDIT: set up coffee chats for next week

Informed opinion: they want to know that you are competent, process-oriented, and can work hard/late. They see a lot of deals which get heavily scrutinized by regulators, so you should demonstrate tact in communication. From a technicals perspective, I would avoid LBO modeling because the deals are generally funded in cash. They underwrite various business models, so your ability to think from first principals and in terms of unit economics will be key.
