UBS Hatewatch

Deal flow continues to get worse, culture continues to get worse, volume of layoffs looking worse in 2025.

Even if you were an intern, it’s gotten worse since then

Shop it, even if a tier 2 city MM

im at UBS, i would shop the offer.

yes there are some specific areas at UBS that are really good, but good chance you find yourself in a pitching hell doom loop in tech or working trash sub 100mm deals for psycho mds in GIG/HC/CPR who act like its a 20bn deal and expect you to work 100 hours.  

Unless fully confident you can get a lev fin spot or be good enough in whatever sector group to be the top 20% that get to work on actual worthwhile stuff, Id steer clear

Pop, lock and shop it

It depends on the group. I will only discuss the key coverage groups and the other relevant groups. 

No need to shop, you'll very likely get transactional experience: LevFin, Sponsors, Industrials

Would not shop, but caveats - HC, FIG, and M&A - HC works on a lot of things on the smaller end as well, so could end up getting unlucky and staffed on a lot of those, but expect to get deal experience across products. FIG falls here because it's FIG and inherently more niche than other coverage groups, stick with it if you like and don't if you don't like FIG. M&A also falls here, as although it's the bank's weakest product you will most likely get a deal or two closed if an average analyst even if it's mostly pitching, and depending on how good of an analyst you are, your experience will vary wildly. 

I would take any comparable bank unless I can be sure you will be in the top bucket - Consumer 

Would shop no matter what: Tech and M&T - are both shitshows of groups.

Edit: Just want to caveat all of this post by saying if you get a better offer then obviously take it, but this is the answer for whether or not you should try to stick with your offer based on group assuming you don't have a better offer at the very moment.
