<p>I have accepted an internship offer from Citigroup to work in their finance division. I have not yet been placed in any subdivision within finance. However, most finance interns end up being controllers. I would like to know if working at Citigroup finance division as opposed to Ibanking would be a strong stepping stone that could lead to an Ibanking offer for full-time during the fall recruiting.</p>
<p>I've heard that this is uncommon.</p>
<p>if thats your only option, i would do it. make contacts and hopefully you will be able to get something in front office. it's only an internship for a few months, not a career.</p>
<p>it is hard to get into ibd, but you will have a better chance than most candidate if you get to know people in the division.</p>
