Bulge bracket non IB experience to enter middle market IB

So I have an internship with MS but it’s PVM instead of IB but I really want to break into banking. What do you think the possibility of me using the Morgan Stanley name on my resume but is wealth management instead of IB to try and get a position at a lesser known firm to break into their IB division???? Just wondering if anyone has gone through this similar experience and if it’s a good probability
