UBS is number 2 in the world for FX (behind DB, but way ahead of anyone else). They recently shut down there metals commodities business so I would not say commodities. Since the SA is rotational, the best thing you can do is apply to desks that you think you would enjoy and find the right fit once you are there. There is a lot of mobility between desks once you have the job. I'm sure they have other really good desks, but FX is what they are really famous for.

Do you have offers for SA for both FI and EQ?

Equities - Quant Trading. Have a large proprietary book

Could you please give us more info about why it is good, and the size(# of people, etc) of the division?

One of the consistently profitable prop books on the EQ side. I would say there are about 15 people including some programmers. They were formerly the Program Trading desk. They make pretty substantial bets on the index rebalances, and will make markets on blind program trades. Also responsible for ETF market making.
