Starting a career in S&T

Hi everyone,

I would love any advice I can get, I have no family in finance so WSO is where I come.

I am about to start of working in S&T in Jan at a MM Investment bank but over the last year I’ve understood I’d much rather be in Capital markets or IB. I don’t know if I’m sealing my own fate by going into S&T rather than the other two.

What should I do to keep my doors open and move into capital markets or IB? Has anyone had experience in this?
