Should we continue having UBS-related posts everyday?
Every day on this forum, UBS is somewhere on the front page. I feel like everyone, whatever their views on UBS, has already said their piece multiple times. It's just getting repetitive at this point. I am on this forum primarily to get updates on PE recruiting and to get a general lay of the land as to how other analysts are doing, not to hear the same few talking points about how UBS sucks from seemingly the same few people.
I know this poll is also UBS-related, but feel like I cannot be the only one annoyed at how every time I view the frontpage of WSO, UBS is always there when there are so many other firms out there.
Congrats on UBS!
I am at one of the top three BBs, just annoying to continuously see UBS on top of the forum every time I browse this forum especially since there hasn't been a unique or new take on the firm in ages from the commentators here.
Congrats on UBS! x2
Hopefully you can lateral to a top 3 firm soon
Give the people what they want: Clear warnings not to go to UBS!
Its a trainwreck and I can't look away
Little bro energy from OP
“lay of the land” is such a boomer thing to say, nice try undercover MD
The phrase "lay of the land" dates back to the 1800s, originating in the United States. It has roots in surveying and navigation, where understanding the "lay" (or "lie") of the land was crucial for explorers, farmers, and military strategists. Here's a bit more detail:
Origin:
Evolution:
Why It Was Created:
Example of Early Usage:
The phrase became a concise way to convey a thorough understanding of one's surroundings—whether physical or metaphorical. Even today, it carries that sense of preparedness and situational awareness. Let me know if you want more examples of how it's been used over time!
Anything to drown out v500 of the daily recruiting, ranking and DEI posts.
So hell yes to daily UBS post.
Yeah great to have a live look in and think it could always be worse
From that perspective...not wrong lol
The people have spoken you whinny little ***** OP
Should we continue having UBS-related posts everyday?
Yes, the answer is yes.
I work at UBS. From me and my team, everyone PLEASE continue to shit on this bank
This is a textbook example of the Streisand Effect. Life is like a beach ball. The harder you try to hold it underwater, the more furiously it comes back to the surface.
We get our own UBS shitshow theme song now too?!? Yes it is also "so rough" thanks Duck Sause.

Fine boss man I’ll stop if you sacrifice one incompetent MD and fire them, preferably on Tech or M&T
For sure important to bring light to what is going on there
Hey man, going through FT group placement at UBS. Only major groups available are Tech, Sponsors, LevFin, Industrials, and Healthcare. Do you have any insight as to how you would think about these 5 groups relative to each other for analyst experience + exits.
1 levfin
2 industials
3 sponsors
4 healthcare
5 tech
Can't go wrong with the first three and argue that tech and healthcare is a tossup.
Healthcare have heard not so great things about culture and that's saying something.
Unironically though tech has had some stellar edits to PE - last year 2 to AKKR, 1 clear lake, and 1 to a fintech fund I'm blanking on that's pretty well regarded.
Levfin-> strong for PC exits
Industrials & sponsors -> also good for PE exits but also not so uncommon people take the promote
Healthcare -> genuinely no idea so could be bad or good and I wouldn't know.
Congrats on UBS! x3
“Is it as bad as people say? - no, not really.”
-Only if you are a Beckie on the team and get to leave earlier
Why are you admitting you are on the team and writing on this forum? We have been told over and over again not to post about the firm on social media or wso
What a narc:
1) everyone does already
2) firm will never know, and we are annoyomous
3) you and quite a few others have spent the past few weeks explicitly hating on UBS, so I think if anyone should be worried (assuming you still have a job there) it should be you and your friends or your burners. I don't think it's exactly controversial or a bad look to say the average candidate should pick a top-tier BB over UBS, that's just common sense as is most of what dude said.
Circle jerk is what you and the other MDs on the team are about to do by hogging the bonus pool to yourselves and starving everyone else on the team with little to no bonus
Are the complaints stale? Does the team have strong deal flow now?
Would like to continue seeing posts, yes
Can I ask (as someone who's out of banking for a few years) which is worse BofA or UBS? Also yes to continuing post on UBS, I know one person there and he's pretty insufferable. Schandefeude away....
UBS way worse, BofA top 5 in banking
