I%26#039;ve regretted not studying economics/finance and going for a banking career. Rather, I%26#039;ve worked as a market researcher, and at a business think-tank.
Now out of the blue, I%26#039;ve been hired by a top American bank to cover for someone for a period of 6-weeks, starting next week. As I understand, I%26#039;ll essentially be doing ad hoc stuff for a top-rated analyst and head of their emerging markets equities business (ie, updating reports/presentations, drafting client responses). I%26#039;ve never met this person and was hired after a 15 minute interview by the person I%26#039;m covering for.
I%26#039;m wondering why on earth they hired me for this position (probably, I was available on short notice). I have a business degree, but am a generalist without a finance
background. I%26#039;m worried I%26#039;ll be a spectacular failure and lambasted for my ignorance.
Can anyone offer advice on how to survive and make the most of the experience? Are there careers within investment banks that someone like me can still aim for?
