Sophomore S&T SA to Junior IBD SA?

How would a BB sophomore S&T internship fare if I wanted to try and recruit for IBD for junior summer? Would it be preferable to a boutique/MM IB gig by name recognition or are the skills/experiences not as relevant when interviewing for IB roles and “pigeonhole” you? Thanks for any advice.
