S&T vs Risk Mgmt?

Hey!

With the ultimate goal of landing an IBD SA internship next summer, which will position me better for this summer? Trading at an options/derivatives prop shop, or risk management at a boutique? Some have suggested that risk management involves some modeling which could be used to spin toward IB in the future. Although trading is front office, I've been told it's hard to go into IBD with this kind of experience - that when it comes to oncampus recruiting next year, my resume will always get sent to the S&T pile.

Thanks for your help!
