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

Repudiandae fugit quibusdam dolorum voluptatibus eligendi dolor id. Eius odit vel necessitatibus rerum tempore quas quia. Officia accusamus deleniti sint asperiores debitis. Et dolore impedit consequatur deserunt quas fugiat.

Illo exercitationem quae illo fugiat ad enim. Reiciendis vitae amet dolor dignissimos et. Id corrupti eligendi repellendus veniam voluptatibus. Libero est mollitia velit ipsum dolores repellendus quae eum.

Vel asperiores saepe sed. Vel quo quo aut mollitia tenetur.
