Top Desks at UBS?

I am doing a three-desk rotational internship program at UBS this summer. What are UBS's best desks? If I'm interested in trying to become an investment analyst on the buy-side (ik this is usually an IB exit) any desks I should look consider to have a chance potentially? Any desks I should stay away from because I hear a lot of desks will die 10-15 years from now?

Hmm.. have no clue about US office but for FICC I think below explains quite well. For Equities I think CRB is good. UBS CRB is like a feeding school for top HF/props but only if you have good coding/math background. (but also might be different for US because the regulations are different and it would affect trading behavior of the desk)

 

Try to get any role that interacts with IBD and try to move there. Moving from there to any investment analyst role will be significantly easier. UBS isn't the best firm ever, but if you can switch into their IBD division, you should still have most firms except the top MF's and UMM's open as possibilities for you. 

 

Don't know about UBS specially but really you want to stay away from the flow desks. The standard advice is the more complicated the product the better it is seen for the buy side
