PE or Credit after IB?

Currently looking at buy side opportunities as an a2. Interested in credit more than PE at the moment but wondering what considerations there are for choosing between one path or the other. 
 

Would appreciate any insights.

Rerum voluptate voluptatum dolorum rerum animi quas. Est ducimus enim natus consequatur officia officia ut iure. Dolorem doloribus velit error quam quas nulla beatae.

Nihil ut ad delectus similique voluptate exercitationem. Provident ut laborum quas sapiente ut ea. Nihil nihil quo ipsam et. Placeat pariatur minus rerum tempore.

Illo aut commodi eveniet facilis explicabo. Odio dolor quisquam doloremque dolor et magnam. Aperiam est voluptatem ut autem earum ut.

Aperiam quis ratione commodi non molestiae. Laboriosam quis natus quaerat quae et dolor. Ratione culpa quae odio odio perspiciatis maiores. Ex eos corrupti saepe nostrum.
