Ibanking vs Corporate Credit - Application reasons

Hi all,

With recruiting coming up and postings for both ibanking and corporate credit/banking flooding the school sites, what are the major reasons one could use to justify applying for both position? They are different, and ibankers probably want you to only focus on then, but I don't wanna put all my eggs in one basket.

Any ideas for what I can say if I get asked in the interviews would be helpful!

Thanks
