Negative and UBS? Everything I have heard is the exact opposite.
UBS is a dying shop - Even before their shift to cut their IB decision, most analysts exited to LMM PE. Go McKinsey and don't look back. If you want to do banking would opt for another shop (I'd even take Nomura over UBS....)
how is it dying with them placing a great emphasis on their investment bank with their recent strategy shift. I think it's a good place to be since it's expanding, particularly in the US. With the acquisition of CS, they can only improve their footprint.
no one in their right mind is taking nomura over UBS
and no I don't work at UBS
damn Nomura catching strays out here
If you want to do investment banking then go to UBS, if you want to be the one who tells UBS to fire all its investment bankers, go to McKinsey.
second this, but this is pretty obvious tbh I don't get why op asked in the first place
^This is a bit of an idiotic post but true that it’s either you want to do consulting or tier 2 IB. No one in their right mind would go to bonuses over UBS is right but McK gets much more “interesting” advisory business than you’ll likely to see at UBS..
I think even the most anti-consuting and hardo-banking people would easily take McK over UBS...
Please take Mckinsey.
Going to UBS over McKinsey is career suicide. If you want to be a banker go to literally any other "low-tier" BB
McKinsey sounds like McDonalds - are you some kind of clown? UBS all the way bro.
McKinsey every day of the week. Do you want to be at a top firm or a bottom BB that's been reaching deeper depths every year? Better exit opps, better business school, more respect, more options
