CV - Bullet points formatting

Hi fellow monkeys,

I will be applying to 2019 summer internships (IBD) in London soon. For my most recent internship I do have a 'sub bullet' line. What do you think about it? I am only using it once in my entire CV, is that a deal breaker or should I change it to a normal bullet point?

Thanks
