URGENT! Internship Question: Retail Banking Sales VS Retail Banking Generalist

Hey guys, I have an interview coming up with HSBC this week for Retail Banking and Wealth Management in New York for Generalist and San Francisco for Sales.

Which is better? I hear anything sales in Retail Banking is a no-no. What's the pay like, for both interns and full-time hires?

What about exit opps? (seriously, lol)
