Equity Research Summer Intern at Merrill, but want to do S&T

Hey everyone, I got a summer offer for Merrill Lynch Equity Research, how hard do you think it will be to intern in Research, but then interview and get a full time offer in S&T for the full time analyst program within Merrill Lynch??

A friend of mine did his summer in ER at ML last year and after the summer wanted to switch to IB. ML wanted him back for ER and did not interview him for IB. HR can be dicks about this kind of stuff. He ended up getting an IB offer from another bank. Bottom line when FT recruiting comes along you will be given interviews for S&T. Does your offer explode soon? Summer recruiting is just getting started is there anyway you could leverage this offer during other S&T interviews?
