Difference between Fixed income research and Structured products.

I'm about to start working in Structured products (specialised on interest). Since it's the graduate program, I will have the opportunity to pivot to a different division at the end of the first 6 months / year. A friend spoke very well about Fixed income research, so I wanted to know if there is a significant difference. 

And what would be the major differences from a career in SPG and a career in Quantitative investment strategies

Wishing to hear from you all!
