M&A Intern at boutique

I am looking at a 30 day internship with a boutique IB firm that focuses primarily on M&A. What other areas of the industry (if any) could this experience directly or indirectly transfer to as far as job placement. What doors will this open, and how can it limit me?

I have a B.A. in finance from a no name school with a 3.88 GPA, my Series 7 and 66, no industry experience--I'm trying to find what area I want to land in, and get a job in that field.

Thanks

More accurately, I took the job, did the training course, got sponsored for the test, then quit.

No repercussions :D
