Can someone help me understand what I've applied for?
I applied for a summer job at BlackRock Product Strategy in Fixed Income and got an interview. Could someone say in simpler terms than this what it is? What are products exactly?
How badly will I fail this interview if I know nothing about markets (I'm a non-finance related major)? Although I guess it's fair to say that no one actually knows what's going to happen, so I can make up anything as long as it's justified?
