Corporate banking to rating agency structure finance interview

I am a corporate banking analyst in a global bank. My work entails underwriting commercials like revolvers, term loans, leveraged loans to the corporate transactions like refi, LBO, acquisitions. So a lot of credit analysis write-up, modeling involved.

I am having an interview with a big three rating agency's structure finance finance team. Curious to get some thoughts on how to answer the question "why do you want to work on structure finance rating"? thanks in advance
