This is patently bad advice. Group placement mostly determines your analyst experience and the opportunities you will have after your analyst experience. "What you're interested in" is not the most important factor. With the exception of Goldman and elite boutiques, product groups (M&A, LevFin & sponsors) are usually the best at the big banks. They give the most rigorous experiences and best opportunity set.

There are good industry groups as well - but these vary by bank.
