Switching from HF + PE to IB

All my summer internships were with hedge funds and private equity. I have an interview tomorrow for ibanking and I will probably be asked why I want to go ibanking when I already did hedge funds/pe where the profit potential is greater. truth is i prefer hedgefunds/pe, because of more money, but I can't find one to give me a full time job. so what do you think would be a good answer as to why ibanking over hf/pe? thank you
