USB Equity Interview

you probably dont want to call them USB

my bad, typo *UBS

I need insights about UBS Equities too, I had a first round phone interview last week, the interviewer was an ED who is an alumni from my school. I just got a call today that there is going to be a super day sometimes next week, and that I will be having a 2nd round phone interview on Friday. I actually attend a non-target , so there is no OCR by BB's on my campus. Does anybody on WSO have Equities interview experience?

thanks squawk

So I had interview today.

Pretty much talked bout the experiences on my resume. Since I worked for a mutual fund that focused primarily on large-cap pharmaceutical, I got quite a few questions on that.

He asked me what sector I follow and the obvious answer should have been healthcare but I figured I would impress him with something else.

So I pitched him a stock from energy industrials. I went pretty indepth into it and he seemed impressed.

He was a trader, so I asked him about his career path and his specific desk.

No technicals. Basic behaviorals I got were: Why UBS and Why S&T? Not much talk about the markets.

Hoping I get called back for the superday. Keeping my fingers crossed!

got superday

any more tips/help on what to expect will be highly appreciated

For the UBS Equities Superday:

You get about 5-6 interviews with ED and MD's. The MDs have more say in the decision making process. It will mostly be 2-1 interviews, at least that was the way it was for me.

The interview questions varies from person to person - but I definitely got lots of brainteasers. 2/5 of my interviews were just brainteasers - though you can't really prepare for these. The other interviews focused a lot on what is happening in the markets, know what's happening in the news, and have a couple stock picks. Hope this helps!

They are still moving around my superday. Not sure exactly which one I will be going to.

I had one interview before being invited for the superday. It was an on-campus interview.

Good luck.

but my superday will definitely be in the next two weeks

anyone have good resources on how to prepare for brainteasers or the numerical reasoning exam?

i did a basic google search and came across a few things but if others on here have resources that they found extremely helpful, please share.

bump.

anyone on here get an offer from UBS?

I have first rounds with equities sales and trading tomorrow. They told me the last superday is this upcoming Tuesday

Good book for brainteasers=Heard on the street. PM me for a PDF
