Yeah
nah man you'll be fine. Despite what people say on this forum, UBS/CS etc. are still amazing banks and places to work at. You'll learn a lot at these places and with that skillset (if you work hard enough) you can end up at a good PE fund and get into a great MBA program.
Also, these ranking systems of BB's are really stupid and should be taken with a grain of salt. Most of the people making rankings on this forum are freshman/sophomores who have 0 experience in financial services. Tbh, i'll probably get monkey sh*t for saying this stuff, but it's the truth. It's time that we stop regurgitating toxic rankings.
Credit Suisse shouldn't be too hard. UBS is a notch lower, bit either way you should be fine if you perform well.
Jemimahhclout. Get a life. CS is not a bottom tier BB
Dude I don't disagree with you but you sound like a huge asshole
His post wasn’t great but honestly sounds like ur just salty a prospect thinks CS is lower tier..
