What team should I apply for?

I am a Sophomore with no prior finance experience but I have managed to obtain an Interview at a boutique bank next week. I have to state which team I am interested in joining, but I have no idea which one to say. The options are Client Accounting, Marketing(client relations) Data Management and Client Transitions. My aim this summer is to obtain relevant experience in order to secure a internship at a BB next year. Which team do you think would help me the most with applying to a BB Investment Banking internship next year?

I appreciate any feedback, thanks in advance!

A sentence blurb about each would be helpful for us to evaluate which of the roles would be the most attractive to banking recruiters. My two cents based on what I assume each job title does: 1) Client Relations- Sounds like you are monitoring a client base of the firm for opportunities to do capital raises, M&A, etc. Could be a valuable experience in terms of giving you wiggle room to learn some investment banking skillsets when you are assessing fit of a service you are about to pitch a client. Of course this could also be a cold calling job, in which case less desirable. 2) Client Accounting- If this is internal accounting for the bank or something like that it could be a good way to show off a technical accounting background for later recruiting. 3) Data Management- Sounds like hammering random market data into spreadsheets so some analyst has historical information on an industry later on. Probably would avoid for sanity purposes. ?) Client Transitions- I have no clue what this could be.
