Merrill Lynch Seasonal Client Associate

I applied for a seasonal client associate position with ML and have an interview late this week. I'm more interested in investment banking than wealth management, but I'm curious:

what skills are transferable? Is it worth taking the job? What was your experience like?

I thought it'd be good to get the big name on my resume and use it as a platform for future analyst positions.

Thanks in advance for any input
