Best First Internship

Looking for opinions on what kind of first internships are best/more favourable to land an IB one for the following internship? I spoke to a few people who suggested any restructuring groups while others suggested PWM. Thoughts?

Not sure how PWM is good for IB

get any finance related internship for freshmen year summer and try to leverage it into a MM IB internship for sophomore year then BB internship for Junior year

 

Yeah, something like this seems optimal.
