I think that's more reasonable than you might think considering you're starting so early. I work as a bank teller part-time during university and I have repeatedly been offered to be referred to the internal internship programs. Granted, we don't have IB, but I have had the option to intern in a pretty hands-on environment where I could work with risk, credit, etc. I work at a very small commercial bank, and this is likely quite different for a larger bank. With that said, developing any sort of presence and genuine referral internally very well could give you a leg up in IBD apps.

 

You should try to find other internships once you graduate and move to the US. No point staying as a bank teller and trying to internally transfer if you can just intern at another role.

 

I don’t know if it would be transferrable experience but something I would definitely do if you were a teller. Go into the org chart and download the contact information for all the investment bankers, and their hiring managers/ group heads. (Do spot checking against LinkedIn profiles)

Now you have contact information for networking emails and org charts to understand how coverage and product teams are structured
