Am I going to be considered too experienced for IB internship (London)?

I am a doctor with 2 years and 1 month of experience. I am a trainee surgeon in a large London hospital. I am also a academic lecturer at a medical school (I got this as a honor) and also subsequently getting a PGCert (in Medical Education) degree paid off by my hospital due to my academic role. I was appointed to national board for guiding medical training, again it was a honorary role and also elected to a board at a large hospital, which is more of a volunteer/honorary role again.

Due to my student status (PGCert - not sure if banks will even consider this as masters lol) at a university again. I was thinking of applying for IB internships.

I worked part time, only a few months for a few medical start-ups which raised a few million dollars but left due to my hospital work commitments.

Now, despite my junior level, I have a lot to talk about in my CV but given my profile do you think there is any point in me applying for IB or do you think I should try to do something else.

Tbh I just want to make money at this point and I’m tired of medicine.

Looking for some advice!
