Moving from audit in PwC to IB

Hello! I am student graduating in Finance at a top european business school. I have to opportunity to do a six-month internship in audit at PwC, but my background is in finance (major in corporate advisory and investment banking), but I have no professional experience at all. Do you think that audit in a Big 4 could be a good start? Do you think it is a valuable experience if I want to move to IB?

PwC Milan. I already did a couple of assessment centers with BB (Morgan Stanley London) this year, but failed. So I hope that working for a big four could be a plus in term of experience of working under pressure, in an international environment.
