Interning in Corporate Finance at a Fortune 50 - Should I ask about Corporate Developement?

I will be interning this summer at a fortune 50, think GE/J&J. This is a corporate finance role that will transition into a full time as an FLDP. I am interested in corporate development. Is it possible to network my way into Corporate Development at the same fortune 50 that i will be interning / should I tell my manager that I am interested in that.

thank you so much.

Corporate Finance Career Roadmap (optional)

“Benjamin helped me greatly with my career planning. He was able to lessen my worries about which industry path to pursue and provided incredibly practical, actionable advice. Together, he helped built a clear, realistic plan for my next steps moving forward. Beyond the strategic guidance, he made the conversation very engaging, enjoyable, and fun while offering valuable long-term mentorship insights. I feel much more confident about my professional direction and am extremely grateful for his thoughtful support!”

Corporate Finance Mock Interview

“Gave me very actionable pieces of feedback for the interview (ex. he told me to find the volume of money moving in/out of Canadian treasury systems). Also gave me examples of good responses, which helps me in my preparation. The accent was slightly difficult to pick up at times, but he spoke very slowly and calmly which helped me understand what he was saying. ”
