... you're asking whether working for an investment bank helps your move into investment banking...?

EDIT: I guess you could be talking about credit services or something.

Currently: future neurologist, current psychotherapist Previously: investor relations (top consulting firm), M&A consulting (Big 4), M&A banking (MM)
 

OP is talking about a retail brokerage office where they handle clients retirement accounts.

And the answer is no, not really. If this is somewhere you're interning as a sophomore in college or the summer after that's fine, but if this is your summer internship after junior year or a full time job after college you will be at a disadvantage.

Gotcha. Thought he was asking whether working at a satellite office of MS would help him break into IB, lol.
