What were your other qualifications coming out of undergrad? (prior internships before your junior year summer, ECs, etc.)

How many/which banks did you interview with, and how many/which did you get offers from?

 

I interned at a F500 company in their business development dept after my sophomore year.

Wasn't in any business clubs or the likes in undergrad and wasn't a varsity athlete.

As I mentioned before, I interned at UBS and I accepted their full time offer so I didn't interview with any banks for a full time position. Interviewed at MS/JPM/UBS/LB for summer internship and got offers at all except JPM.

 
advdvnvp:
would you say your interview was more or less important than your resume when getting an internship/full time position?
your resume gets you the interview, the interview gets you the job. With a crappy resume you won't get the interview, but resume alone won't get you a job
 

What was your major?

How many hours do you work on average?

What are the interviews like at UBS?

How do you like UBS?

Resume gets you the interview. The interview gets you the job. A strong resume won't guarantee you a job, but a strong interview more or less does.

Econ major, work on average 90-95 hours a week.

I had a "liberal" arts background, so I wasn't asked a lot of technical questions. I was asked a few basic questions about the financial statements, but nothing more complicated than that. A lot of my questions were more fit-related and getting a feel for who I was as a person to see if they could work 90 hours a weekw with me (this was true with all the banks I interviewed with).

Like UBS enough to stick around for a third year.
