applied beginning of march. non-diverse + semi-target and got a weird automated email today that said "We found your profile interesting, and have shared it with the hiring manager who’s currently reviewing your application." not sure if this means anything. networked + had referral from MD

 

never took an assessment, but i applied for a soph program last year and (i think?) i took one so maybe it's the same

 

I got this too. Target and diversity, but didn't do the any programs. I'm also working there for 2023 summer but in a dif location and division

 

What happens if we absolutely bombed the Sonru but have a referral? Will the referral override it and maybe will we get a first round or phone screen? Since Sonru doesn't let u rerecord I know I absolutely bombed like 3/5 questions because I had issues

Not sure I can speak to your exact question, but would you mind sharing whether or not there were any technicals on the Sonru? Or if you might share your questions as well?

Think I bombed the Sonru as well. Does anyone have any insight on if you can make it to superday with maybe not as good Sonru if you have good referrals and also were in first round of Sonrus?

 

Now UBS is buying CS will this year’s recruiting process get delayed or even cut down the headcount? So anxious rtn UBS is literally the bank I put so much time and effort into networking.

I got the Sonru and I just want to die. I failed it. Literally I got cut off by the timer and didn't even answer the last question properly. I'm so upset at myself because 1) I had two referrals and haven't had this much traction at any other bank 2) my mentor that I look up to so much worked at UBS, and I want to get into UBS so so so badly because of that. The worst thing is that I KNOW I can do better because I've already gotten an offer at a boutique which is known for having a really technical interview process!! But I would take a UBS offer over that boutique in a heartbeat. Idk what to do anymore

 

An upperclassman who got non-NYC UBS office said that they applied later in May to that office, so maybe they open up apps for satellite offices later in the season

 

I applied to both NY and SF office but only got Sonru for SF so far. Was just wondering if anyone non-diversity has gotten Sonru for NY office yet? Thanks.

 

Have emails been going through for you guys, I'm using the correct format but don't think they are working

Anyone know how long until your UBS offer expires?

HR said for me a week but you could potentially ask for an extension 

 

You're wrong. Bunch of well-qualified people from my target applied and didn't get anything. So it could be argued that it is similar to getting 1R.

 

Read in a discord someone who said they were non-diversity and received a superday invite for this week on Monday. Hopefully they do multiple rounds(?).

 

There have been people with non-diversity non-target offers already. No idea if they are doing another round.

 

I fit this profile so obviously I hope they do more rounds, but I’d be super surprised if they did only one round of non-diversity when based on other pages there were 3-4 superdays for diversity alone. 

 

UBS is completely done with NYC. They might recruit again in the Fall, depending on if CS integration plans change. Source : HR and alums.

 

I just got a Sonru invite for an internship in the APAC region. I already bombed one HireVue with a different bank so I was wondering if anyone could give me tips on how not to mess the Sonru up.
