Project Finance + CRA profile internships for Investment Banking

Hello!

To give you some context, I'm from Brazil, and here, interns are "student workers", so we intern during the evening and study at night.

Currently, I intern at an BBB in Project Finance. I really do have financial modeling/debt sizing/sculping skills because here you're expected to work as an analyst since day 1 in your internship, literally.

For a lot of reasons I was unabe to have a "back offer" to hire me as a full time analyst, so knowing that, I started to look to other interships, and got an offer from S&P at Corporate and Infrastructure coverage.

I'm really excited because I kind liked the job, people were nice, and seems interesting to look more for liquidity and capital structure than Project Finance, but my goal is to break into a BBB in Investment Banking (M&A, ECM etc) until finish university.

So, how do you think that big banks would see me with this combo — "Project Finance + CRA"? Do you think that I can make this move?

I'd appreciate the help!
