Anyone here make the move from Public Finance IB to General IB?

Hey guys,

Curious to see if anyone here got into General IB from Pub Fin? If so, how hard was it? I landed on offer but I am not really interested in public finance. I am considering to take it as a stepping stone into finance and in the hopes of latering to general IB. 

Thanks!
