Maybe UBS should just acquire an IT body shop like Infosys, TCS, or Cognizant.
Think about it: those three are the undisputed kings of H1B visas. Instant cost synergies on an epic scale - you can fire the remaining expensive American bankers and replace them with Indians. Namaste, motherfuckers.

UBS should just build out the team they want.
Assemble the dream team of ex-Barclays crony’s, junior MDs with 0-2 YOE (because real MDs are too expensive), lazy older MDs coasting on a couple of refinancings once in a blue moon. Guaranteed bonuses out the ass for all these MDs eating the rest of the bonus pool. Tech being subsidized by everyone else’s blood, sweat and tears.
Oh wait this already happened
