Will a Wealth Management Internship help me land a job/internship in S&T or IB?

I am a sophomore at Villanova University hoping to eventually land a job in S&T or possibly IB. I am curious as to whether or not an internship in WM will help me get an internship in a field I am more interested in?

 

You will most likely be cold calling most of the time. I actually believe cold calling is something everyone should experience early in their career. It is a great way to get comfortable on the phone, sell yourself and build up your confidence.

One thing to take advantage of is the corporate directory, use this to your advantage. You can also ask the FA's you work for if they could introduce you to anyone

 

Literally in the exact same position as you (except in Canada). Would love to here the communities input. I'd suggest looking at creative ways to improve the business and just be helpful. Management likes it when you're thinking. Can anyone in your branch connect you to someone in IB? I was lucky enough to talk to a campus recruiter for my firm's IBD.

 

Personally, I think "they didn't know if this was the right career for me" just means "you are a good performer, but there's just something about you (e.g. your personality) that we don't like". Essentially, you did the job well but some people in the group didn't like you as a person.
