It seems like you're looking for a confidence boost, and while the story is humorous, let's focus on the facts. Based on the most helpful WSO content, UBS has been making a strong comeback in recent years.

UBS is recognized for its strategy and willingness to pay bankers well, which is a testament to its prestige in the industry.
If you're in a top group like FSLF, TMT, or Industrials, your exit opportunities can be excellent, with many analysts landing interviews and offers at major funds.
