Is an internship in AM or WM relevant for a career in IB?
I just finished my first year at a semi-target university in the Netherlands (Erasmus), and I have the opportunity to intern this summer at an AM or WM branch at the biggest bank in my home country. Would this help me at all?
I've seen a number of people go from JPM Risk to GS IBD, so maybe that's something to consider.
An internship in Asset Management (AM) or Wealth Management (WM) can be relevant for a career in Investment Banking (IB), but its impact depends on how you position the experience. Based on the most helpful WSO content:

In summary, while an AM or WM internship may not be the most direct path to IB, it can still add value to your profile if you strategically highlight the transferable skills and experiences gained.
