Investment Banking or Trading

I have a STEM degree from a good university and have two internships in Fintech and Asset Management Technology.

I have a good understanding of maths and also some coding skills.

Will I have better odds if I apply to Investment Banking or Sales & Trading devision?

Application for application, all things being equal I would have said S&T and you sound like you would be more pre-disposed to trading. 

If you are going for off-cycle recruitment however you will have much more choice in IB as S&T don't tend to do off-cycles to the same extent. 

Just my opinion. Good luck, sir.
