Based on the most helpful WSO content, UBS interviews often focus on a mix of behavioral and technical questions, depending on the division and role. For a Global Banking Insight Day, you can expect the following:

  1. Behavioral Questions: These are designed to assess your fit for the firm and your ability to handle various situations. Examples include:

    • "Why UBS?"
    • "What differentiates UBS from other firms?"
    • "Tell me about a time when you worked towards an important deadline."
    • "Tell me about a time when you had to explain complicated things to someone with little knowledge."
  2. Technical Questions: These may be light and tailored to your experience. Examples include:

    • "Walk me through a DCF."
    • "What’s the role of IT in a global bank?" (if relevant to your division).
  3. Preparation Tips:

    • Research UBS thoroughly, including their values, principles, and recent news.
    • Use the SOAR framework (Situation, Obstacle, Action, Result) to structure your answers for behavioral questions.
    • Practice concise and clear responses, as time limits are often strict.

Hearing back a week later aligns with typical timelines for such events. Good luck!
