Morgan Stanley Institutional Equity Division vs Fixed Income

Hi WSO, I just applied to MS for summer 2022 for both of these programs. MS is known for their strong equity division, but I’m not sure if that’s the best route long term due to automation and the skill set. I wouldn’t mind either at all but I would like to know everyone’s thoughts on the programs they have. As of now I’m leaning towards IED due to the culture and people I’ve spoken to but feel like FI but be better long term. Thoughts?
