I'm currently interning at JPM in the CADP program, and although it has been a very insightful experience, I've come to realise that it may not be for me at all and I'm more interested in FO roles. How do I go about making this somewhat clear to my manager without killingmy chances of an offer? Because it's my understanding that getting the offer would at least give me some leverage in finding positions in FO (for summers next year).

Theres not much (or anything) to gain from telling your manager now. I would look for lateral opportunities and if you find one then tell your manager once you have already secured something else. The last thing you want to do is tell your manager and then not get a return offer because they don't think you're interested.
That makes sense! Thanks for the advice. Basically means I have to start looking for other opportunities aggressively with the phonebook, with 2 weeks left.
Even if you don't find an opportunity during your internship, JPM should give you a month or so before you need to accept
