BULK API Vs SOAP API

I'm trying to determine If I need 2 API logins VS one. Scenario: 1 process Calls periodically throughout the day (SOAP), 2nd Process does a BULK API at 8AM, 12PM, 3 PM. What happens if the 1st process is in a session, and the 2nd process starts up? does it stop the 1st session or vice versa, if the 1st API interupts the session of the bulk api?

Does the Bulk API work like the SOAP API and begins a session (I assume so)

With the same API login (sessionId) you can run both SOAP calls and Bulk API calls. There will be no side effects between both of them, as long as you don't invalidate the session (both would be interrupted)
