Work experience for front office SA positions

I am looking to get into S&T & IB with a BB for a summer internship position.

What do these recruiters look for in terms of work experience? I have had jobs in PWM (at a BB), Equity Research (small sell side firm), and most recently an accounting position (public Company). You think this would suffice?

You've got solid experience. Assuming it's enough to get you in the door (your GPA/ECs are gonna matter for that as well) you can definitely spin it to sound very relevant

thanks. anyone else?

 

Good experience, wouldn't worry about it at all. Pending grades and extra curriculars, that's ample experience to get in.
