Views on industrial placement years?

How are industrial placements in London viewed for ft recruiting? Especially if it is in a field other than banking?

I have an internship in s&t at a MM but I want to get into the investment banking division. Is it worth it to do a placement year, is extra work experience viewed at positively? 

additionally, ill be a year behind at uni after my first one was already fucked because of covid
