Current State of UBS in North America
Hello,
Currently an intern at an MM bank (think Stephens/Lincoln/DA Davidson) and interested in jumping to a different bank for FT. I was wondering what the real state of UBS in North America is. Can anyone provide objective perspective on the bank? The bank I'm currently at does bring in some LMM/MM deals and am wondering if its better to work for ~ 1 year and try to lateral at that time instead of going to UBS. Obviously I'll need to get the return but have had pretty solid conversation with UBS bankers. They all seemed nice and does work on some deals as well from what I've heard so far. Also, is there a chance that the bank might pull FT offers later because they are struggling?

Which group?
Personally depending on the bank you’re at now and what you want out of it (ie exits etc) wouldn’t necessarily risk it. I did two years at UBS in a terrible group and have little to show for it in terms of deals, comp, and my exit - regret working there quite frankly.
But if to top group like Industrials or LF, and you really want a good PE exit might be worth it. Maybe.
Per the post, I'm at a non-top MM bank (Stephens would be the best comparison). Groupwise, I've had some good convo with LF, M&A, M&C and HC. I'm not dead set on PE but do want to have a solid brand name on my resume because I come from non-target. I'm pretty industry agnostic but FIG and Tech are some of the groups that in general I'm not very interested in. I'm thinking of career banking but definitely not inclined to go the PE route. Thanks for commenting.
Is M&C the same as M&T? Would stay far away from M&A and M&T, terrible groups with sweaty hours and poor deal flow.
