Take UBS hands down
UBS is miles better than BS in SF.
Unlike the Lehman vs. UBS comparision, this one's a no-brainer.
UBS SF. You're comparing a well-respected BB to a MM player. Weren't you the guy gunning for GS Taipei though?
oh im not going for UBS SF, was purely curious.
I'll say this every time. Why do you care what others think? If UBS is more well-respected, then go to Bear and make it more prestigeous. If ur a pussy and want to go somewhere that is already on top, go to UBS. It's your call
haha i'd be a fool if i think i can make a firm more prestigious by working there as a summer or even full time analyst. why wouldn't people want to start at the best place possible?
Why you ask? Well perhaps it is because you want to to be at the place that might pay out the highest bonus when you are making real money 4-5 years down the road. UBS has moved up the ladder very quickly in the US and is a great place.
It's like attending a college ranked #8 in the nation, but when you graduate it is ranked #30. The market value of an education has gone down, and you would have been better off attending the school that was initially ranked #25, but #16 upon graduation. Yes, the fluctuation in rankings is unrealistic and they are often meaningless, but the example only serves to illustrate a point.
Please don't argue that Bear will not grow, or that UBS will grow. I am generalizing my response to his question.
-- Would you want to work for Solomon Brothers today? ..oh right.
As a side note, goldman and ms are arguably entrenched as the #1 and #2 public ibanks, and public opinion does not seem to think this will change anytime soon. Based on this knowledge, people choose to work there, but likely wouldn't if people thought they were slipping (search for comments about CS on this board).
Bear is not even close to UBS.
how about just some comments on UBS SF's Lev Fin and FSG itself? not comparing it to BS TMT. what kinda dealflow are they looking at? prestige? culture?
Hey see your other post.
yea i realized it after i posted this. thanks bbmanda.
lol
Goated for unearthing this
Hmm those offers look good but you could do better. Try out Wall Street Mastermind. They’ll get you into the bank of your choice for only $7000!!
Is that program like a college admissions counselor with bribe stuff?
Either one would be preferable to scamming college-aged kids
Why is UBS no longer this well respected?
Got it real hard by the GCF and they just haven't really focused on their IBD
Fair point. Also I think most of the big ibankers left post GFC which may have played a role? Centerview, Moelis, Liontree and maybe TAP all were founded by ex-UBS people around that time if I’m not mistaken
