How much do internships help later on

So obviously internships help you get your first job, but how much do they help pad you’re resume afterwards? For example, say you worked as SA in ib then worked as a HF analyst after undergrad, and then were trying to lateral to a new job, would that SA experience help you as you have ib experience, or would a internship/SA not count as experience like a full time analyst?
