Industrials or Infra PE?

I covered infrastructure during my summer stint and will begin covering Industrials full-time. I liked infra but I wanted more generally applicable experience for the whole two years. Trying to decide whether I should target industrial or infra for PE. 

Would appreciate insight from professionals in both camps. Thanks
