Switch from M&A to S&T

Hi All,

I've recently joined as a grad at a top EB in London in M&A having interned last year. My predicated is that I'm not sure if M&A is what I really want to do - I seem to much rather prefer S&T. I graduated earlier this year from a top target UK after undergrad

I'm not sure what to do. Having visibility over what senior analysts, associates, VPs, Ds do in my team, their role doesn't really excite me but S&T really does.

What are your thoughts? What would you do in my position? How could I make a move if I wanted to?

Cheers
