Headhunter Discussions

When approaching a headhunter, can you ask to be show both credit and PE roles or do you need to only choose one? I know they want people to know what they want specifically, but what happens if you have both interests? In other words, very context specific.

Also, in a year or so, can you reach out again with a switch from credit to PE?
