What entry level positions give the most optionality?

What is the best skill set you can hope to build from an entry level position that is highly transferrable throughout the broad banking industry? For reference I am coming out of my undergrad with degrees in Finance and Economics from a non target school with a 3.7 GPA within my major, also 3 years of full time experience working with mortgages during undergrad. I know I want to work within wealth management/investing in some capacity, but not entirely positive where I will have the chance or where exactly I want to work.
