The UBS hate has gone too far
JPM and not particularly close
Congrats on UBS waitlist
Any reason why?
UBS not even close lol, people do private banking so they can do an MBA and pretend like they wanted PB all along so they can than get into IB post MBA. Are you insane? Don’t fall for the idiots on here. UBS is a shitshow but is still a BB investment bank at the end of the day and you can have a much easier time lateraling to a top firm from there.
Next thread: GS Operations or UBS IB?
Honestly on the same playing field
It’s no longer a BB
bb or no BB the point stands, Jeff IB would be better than JPM Pb as would WF. Not even on the same playing field. And Marco Valla has destroyed UBS, but it still has a legacy name that will allow you to exit as if it’s a mid to bottom BB for probs 3-4 more years. So this is not even close, and unless you wanna stay in banking, for all practical purposes, it’s a BB. At the end of the day the firm is still trying to grow in the Americas and if MV is canned it’s possible they may be able to do so, although far from certain. Either way, mid office at JPM vs ubs or any low bb or top non bb is not even a close comparison
Who mentioned private banking?
Friends don’t let friends work at UBS
Even if UBS is a mess, would take IB over CB unless you value WLB
Tough choice
All jokes aside this may be a harder decision than you might think, because is UBS really doing any deals? Probably not so doing corporate banking wouldn’t be that different, and it would be at a better name. However IB is IB so definitely a decision to be made.
You’ll be as much of a deal maker at UBS IB than corporate banking
Was at UBS NY in a “top” coverage group and barely did any deals. I didn’t even know we had a Chicago group, I don’t think they do anything.
JPM CB chi is still working 80> hours as an analyst
Can second this
Assuming you want to get into investment banking, I would take the IB offer.
JPM CB will have more prestige. I'm not sure how far the UBS name is taking people these days. CB laterals into IB more than you think.
Northwestern Mutual or UBS IB ?
