LEARNING AN INDUSTRY BEFORE FT ROLE

Hi guys, 

To give some context I have quite a number of weeks free, and was considering learning about a specific coverage group before I join an BB in London. I haven't been assigned a group yet. 

My reasoning was that, if I chose to learn about TMT for instance, that I could reach out to people on the TMT teams and network for a job there.

I have a question though, and any help is greatly appreciated:

Should knowledge of a sector/industry help in my attempt to get a seat on a specific team, especially when networking with an MD on the team lets OR am I pigeonholing. 

Thanks,
