Based on previous WSO threads, UBS HireVue interviews for Summer Analyst (SA) positions often include behavioral and situational questions. While specific questions for 2027 aren't available yet, past examples from UBS and similar firms include:

  1. Behavioral Questions:

    • "Tell me about a time you worked in a team and faced a challenge. How did you handle it?"
    • "Describe a situation where you had to solve a problem under pressure."
    • "What motivates you to pursue a career in investment banking?"
  2. Situational/Scenario-Based Questions:

    • "How would you handle a situation where you have multiple deadlines and limited time?"
    • "If you noticed an error in a financial model created by a senior team member, how would you approach it?"
  3. Technical/Industry-Related Questions:

    • "What is a recent market trend or transaction that interests you, and why?"
    • "How would you explain a DCF (Discounted Cash Flow) to someone unfamiliar with finance?"

For preparation, focus on: - STAR Method: Structure your answers (Situation, Task, Action, Result) for behavioral questions. - Market Awareness: Stay updated on recent deals, market trends, and UBS's activities. - Practice: Use mock interviews or record yourself answering similar questions to refine your delivery.
