Cool. This would be interesting if this weren't the 5th thread on this
First time I see it
This level of obsession regarding your former employer is not good. I think you should consider either looking for a new job or getting a new hobby! Think both would really help your mental health and also help you get your first ever date with a girl!
Says a failed I likely spent 1-2 years as a banker before getting fired and still can’t find a job and mooching off my parents wannabe who still can’t find a job after being s#it canned a year ago. You’ve got the intelligence of a battered 60 year old boxer, career trajectory of…oh wait you still can’t find a job after a year and instead of moving on you non-stop post on these forums, which indicated you are a relationship-less, sexless incel. Your parents don’t even pretend to care about you anymore as they know their loser son can’t move on…what a shame.
Like everyone keeps saying get help. And guess what it’s not just random bankers it’s anyone who comes across this forum and sees the sorry excuse of what you have become given your inability to move on…
What’s even more pathetic is this non-stop campaign of yours is either some mental release or trying to sway where college kids go. Trust me college kids with real career prospects, not losers like you who society will eventually relegate to cleaning toilets, can see through your year of angry, desperate, insipid and pathetic posts. What is pathetic is your trying to reach out that way and thinking you have influence not seeing everyone sees you for the fired loser you are and that the only ones you could potentially sway will be cleaning toilets like you.
Congrats on discovering ChatGPT! Tbh, I don't think you are convincing anyone of anything. UBS Tech in NYC had 3/8 of their most recent (exiting 2025) analysts leave to UMM PE/GE; it's not as bad as you claim, and even if it most people on this forum just care about exits. I mean, people on this forum are willing to sign up for Jefferies for MM exits, and if you genuinely think UBS Tech is anywhere near Jefferies' level of culturally bad, you truly do need the help.

Data from every one of your managers shows that you were bottom bucket in every single one of your reviews. What’s gone wrong?
Banks cycle up and down on league tables over the years. With that said not clear to me you can ever be anything but bottom tier at any job or in life…especially if after a year of unemployment you are still taking potshots at your old employer who clearly must have fired you and polluting this forum who has clearly delivered a very strong message that we all tired of it…
Two things can be true at once:
1) OP is a disgruntled ex employee
2) UBS is a horrible place to work and is bleeding market share
You forgot —#3 tools like you who continue to propagate something that has been beaten relentlessly for the last year were either also fired / can’t hold a job in finance or can quit anytime they want if they are there and don’t need to keep crying to a forum that has clearly lost sympathy
Like the OP your EQ and apparently IQ are low…
Aren't you also one of the anti-UBS posters? Y'all really love spreading anti-UBS propaganda after you got laid off, huh. Talking negatively about your old employer isn't going to get you a job, and It's already been a year. It sucks you got laid off for merger reasons, but it's just the unfortunate reality of life that things aren't always fair. I would highly recommend trying to get a job instead of continuing to spread propaganda.
You wouldn’t call it propaganda if the fee revenue league tables showed UBS was top 10
Do you have like an auto prompt to chat gpt to rephrase the same thing once a week?
Aww little banker had feeling hurt by his little bank’s place on the league tables
Aww deranged unemployed loser finally got his computer back from mommy. Get a job son…
Aww, the office bitch is barking again .. better get back to rubbing your MD’s belly, stirring his coffee and shinning his shoes
Jerry! Jerry Jerry
Ex-UBS, now buyside, and did not get fired from UBS (like most of the posters that continously hate on UBS clearly did). It's pretty clear UBS is performing badly and just terrible compared given headcount and expectations. However, ultimately, as a junior banker, you're trying to get 1) deals to put on your resume (UBS is doing fine here; it's top 10 for M&A volume despite being way lower in fees; for a junior, a deal is a deal to put on resume) and 2) find a good exit. Most analysts end up exiting after all, and UBS has exited just fine, including various UMM exits for the class exiting. I know for a fact multiple groups (know it's the case for Tech, Industrials, and LevFin; potentially also other groups) have had multiple UMM exits (6Bn+ fund size) for the class that just left.
So sick of these anti-UBS posts… need more variety on the IB shit talk carousel
Can anyone explain why the comments are so hateful on this post? Yes this topic is getting old but holy shit what is wrong with you ppl
If you look at the threads some of this stuff has been going on for a year and been nasty for a year (one sided) only recently has there been a real two way back and forth. I agree nasty and think that gets solved when the people who were fired finally move on. It’s clear people are fed up and sending a message.
It's just because the people hating on UBS just repeat the same points and refuse to change their minds. There are still people commenting that UBS has no exits when it pretty clearly does, including the people who left this year, for instance, makes it hard to beleive that you guys have any basis in reality. That and all the complaining about getting replaced by Barclays people just sounds salty.
maybe swallowing the corpse of credit suisse had just a little to do with this? distracted management for a proper minute figuring out how to navigate the new merger. so if in 2021 UBS was 5th in the US in revenue for investment banking, then march of 2023 snafu and unprecedented AT1 gone concern situation -- who knows what the books looked like, current litigation underway -- Swiss regulator brokers a merger and now in 2025, UBS in the 20s range. increased toxic liabilities and faced with new decision pitchfork regarding future of the brand. they have opted for wealth management services as the future of the bank
This thread is so toxic, holy crap

UBS doesnt have any process in place to stop this, we just hired all the head of bankings friends. Lehman bros are gonna crash a 2nd bank, impressive
Only thing this video doesnt capture is that at best UBS can hire B players. A players go to top BB groups or EBs, obviously. Most of the MD hires have been C quality or worse, which makes sense since we are getting all of Barclays lower mid bucket MDs
Do we honestly think the friend circle had the same hiring process?
UBS will be closer to 60th than 6th place (the stated goal in the americas). Marco must be interviewing
Wow, how’d they fall to 23rd?
Honestly Marco gets a lot of flak and rightfully so but can't ignore Sergio in this. UBS is very stingy with its balance sheet and that made it hard for us to win sometimes. Or clearing conflicts/rep risk would take an undue amount of time when at my new bank we usually get the green light overnight. Things like that add up. People didn't just leave because the Barclays tech guys couldn't get it done. People left because structurally the platform has become hard to win on, and that requires some blame pointed to the actual bosses in Switzerland not just New York.
Fair argument here, and Sergio should also be blamed for hiring Marco when there are much more qualified people to be Head of all of GB. Good chance Sergio only hired Marco cause he’s northern italian.
They might both be out come this time next year
This is getting boring and repetitive - can we sh!t on another bank for a change? How about Citi going on a MD shopping spree and being the weakest of the 5 US banks? DB not a BB - let’s bring that back? Jefferies having bad culture - revive that?
