OP, if I can do it, you can do it. There really isn’t much to it. Principles of good slide design are:
Title should capture the main argument presented by the slide
Avoid using a ton of text— use bullets and graphics
Steal extensively from other existing slides (adapting them to you own use). If you have a good deck that someone else created, just try to make your slides look similar to that.
Keep sentences short and punchy, avoid long adjective strings and complex sentence structures
No more than 3 arguments per slide
Go on YouTube and learn how to PP. Consulting is easy if you are able to adapt and learn quickly.
OP…that’s like the job though fam
Eventually you'll have such a large collection of decks you can just steal elements from your collection and just make minor tweeks
Also look around your internal websites / sharepoints for elements
Sounds like you’re ready to make partner.

Templates (or “accelerators” as they say in this industry) should do most of the heavy lifting for you.
Where are templates for our firm?
Youtube!
Learn quick OP and reach out to people for help
Just make the analysts do the slides.
Then make the interns do it. It’s a step up opportunity.

Fake it till you make it. I still haven’t figured it out but I’m mow delegating to others.
3, 2, 1….
Use templates
Are there other areas of consulting that are less slide-heavy? I'm allowed to do a few rotations, so maybe there's a niche area that won't expose my lacking PPT skills as badly..?
Nope. All areas will be this slide heavy. Difference is as you get more tenure/seniority you can offload it on others
