4 yrs of corp finance and 2 yrs of IB = making a total of 6. They are not offering any sign on, instead offering to pay a full years bonus for 2010 next year. Does this seem fishy? this is UBS.

I know someone who get offered a similar package. Came in as 2nd year analyst with 2 years of IB experience, so should have been a 3rd year. They convinced him of taking the offer by promising a higher y/e bonus ... which he didn't get (barely mid-bucket) even though he got very great reviews. This happened at an elite boutique. Point is, dont rely on any "promises" they make you.

It seems though that money isnt the only factor in your decision, so you should take it anyways.
