I worked in FIG and recommend against it. Even though it was great experience for my role afterwards, I was chosen over or not even interviewed for some other jobs because some companies just don't work with banks/insurance companies that often (despite the fact that part of my role with the FIG group was to review credit exposure to ALL industries on a deal by deal basis, it didn't matter).
