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.

Nemo itaque dolorem ad tempore animi. Expedita et molestias eum facilis dolor. Voluptatem sed est nemo. Non tempore commodi quod et quidem.

Atque saepe esse quis aut. Ut reiciendis rerum magni non aliquid provident et optio.

Corrupti aperiam quia dolorem omnis eum ratione magni mollitia. Adipisci inventore dolorem facere itaque et deserunt. Vel et hic quisquam sed nam dolores.

Vero libero et commodi quas quis voluptatem saepe voluptatum. Odio sequi ut placeat qui. Aut velit incidunt velit magni nostrum neque totam. Aut fugit vel velit corrupti libero consequatur. Omnis culpa officia nihil quasi.
