Municipal IB to Corporate IB?

Hi, I would appreciate it if anyone who has successfully made the transition from munis to corporate ib share any insights or advice on how to make the switch. Looking to make a switch to traditional IB after graduation so any advice is welcome.

I made the switch and I think there are a few main issues you have to network past.  

1. Why do you want to leave Pubfin?

2. What experience do you have that makes switching to a coverage group worthwhile? 

The answer for 1 is easy , as you can say that pubfin although interesting you want to advise clients along  the entire capital spectrum and advise on Strategy behind M&A - from either the buy or sell side.  

for number 2 you need to find some way to spin your experience to show why you are qualified to make the jump.
