UBS TMT or Apple Care Support

Hi guys, thanks for taking the time to read this post. Lately, I've been hearing more and more horror stories about UBS TMT—think bad bonuses, dismal deal flow, and a culture that's, frankly, a nightmare.

So, here’s a question for you: given the choice, would you rather spend 2 years slogging through at UBS TMT or clock in at the Apple store in the mall helping customers test products that they are "interested in purchasing?" Trust me, I’m still trying to decide which one sounds less soul-crushing!

I’d love to hear your thoughts and any personal war stories. What’s been your worst encounter in the trenches of finance, and do you think there's any upside to a stint at UBS TMT.

Apple care support, might as well start early since it's where you'll end up after your UBS TMT stint anyways after you get fired with the rest of your team for having bought in no deals despite multiple MD hires. 

 

Woah really?!  Time to throw a parade and take the rest of the year off. They did possibly their first middle market sell side in a very very long time. Cheers!

 

Get worked to the bone to have the MD (who obviously didn’t invite a junior to a meeting) recap the meeting by saying the meeting went really well, but they weren’t really interested in what we showed
