Any rumored idea of breakdown
Any rumored idea of breakdown (1st, 2nd, 3rd year analysts)?
Analysts in their two-year programs should not even be considered for layoffs, and usually aren't (aside from the usual bottom 5% which shouldn't be there in the first place and either quits early or gets fired at year-end).
UBS selected these kids as capable enough to do the job well -- there's no way that 30 of them all underperformed. The kids commit for two years; the bank commits for two years (except if the 5% rule applies). Talking about ruining someone's career start; I hope this kind of news makes its way to college campuses during recruiting season.
Bulge bracket banking has been losing a lot of its appeal through such reckless hiring and firing, and now at the analyst level. I've seen more and more college seniors taking Fortune 500 jobs instead of top bulge bracket bank's offers. Perhaps it's for the best after all.

you assume there are VP's left to fire.
