Private Credit vs. IB/PE Junior Summer Internship

Hey all,

I have a first round with a megafund for private credit while also balancing interviews for IB and PE for junior summer. If I'm not super passionate about credit given that I haven't had much exposure to it in the past, is it worth it to prep for Credit and move forward with the interview at the risk of spreading myself too thin?

Thanks
