My Attention to detail is shut in PowerPoint. I mess up so much but never in excel (better with numbers and enjoy modeling more). Should I try to leave my cov group and switch to m&a at my bb?

M&A also requires a lot of PowerPoint, esp. for sell-sides. You’ll be putting together teasers, CIMs, management presentations etc. Unless you’re doing mostly buysides, ppt is very much present.
if you’re struggling with ppt, try to get a checklist of common errors and then use that when reviewing your work.
I only did a summer assoc. internship in m&a this summer so keep that in mind for context
your attention to detail does not go away in M&A. I would read the checklist manifesto if you need help with attention to detail.
Would Sponsors bankers (from firms who run the model) have an easy transition to M&A?
