Moving from back-office to front-office

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.

Finance is a support group. My interviewer told me that it is neither front, middle, nor back office.

With some effort you could probably leverage that into an IB offer I think. It's not as strong as an internship in FO, but it's reasonably common for people with your type of internship (MO equivalent, in my opinion) to secure BB FO offers the following year.
