Structured Finance vs. Public, Project, & Infrastructure Finance Associate Analyst - Moody's

What do both of these sectors do? Which one has better exit ops to IB, ER, HF, anything on the buyside? What interview questions can I expect?

This is an odd questions in two parts: (1) public finance, deals in fixed income securities, where the issuers are public entities. Depending on the bank is classed under Public Sector and Infrastructure (PSI) like at Goldman Sachs but still encompasses primarily municipal bonds and long-range project finance.

(2) credit-rating agency vs. investment bank -- you listed Moody's as the the place for the position. They do not underwrite and manage bond deals. They are a credit rating agency, thus if you're working for MSI@Moody's, you would be involved in the credit ratings of those municipal securities.
