+12 When ball is being a normal human being gkk1234
+12 You just used 36 words to say absolutely nothing.   “Good times are good. Bad times are bad. Reach for the stars.” Save it for LinkedIn.  IsItREPE
+12 length: 6.5" girth: 3" curve: Right Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+12 I wasted 2 years working on ongoing deals that lasted 19 months that any legit MD would have scrapped as a waste of time. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+12 It’s worse than anyone can possibly imagine  Intern in IB - Gen
+12 Lol at this post. I promise you, you were just as bad as an intern and probably your first few months on the job. jacobcrawford
+12 No one would be left in M&A, FIG, M&T if it weren’t for internationals on visas because those groups are so bad. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+12 Every H1B is apparently a finance / econ genius until you mention how increasing labor supply puts downward pressure on wages and all they can respond with is some sort of insult Associate 3 in IB-M&A
+12 I think M&A is just a different level of bad. Every single day the bathrooms near M&A have multiple people crying. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+12 I’m impressed UBS HR knows how to use Excel functions  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+12 Immigrants create downward pressure on wages and upward demand on housing.  Americans are being betrayed and gaslit.  Associate 1 in IB - Gen

+12 UBS mandates that LSEG start publishing league tables upside down or they will cut their subscription   Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+12 They stay and have a horrible time. I've seen like 10 people cry in the past 6 months at ubs(not joking). Bathroom by m&a group may as well be a crying room. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+12 Alright, reading the comments, and setting aside the protectionism, the blatant racism, and moronic statements, there are some valid points.  FinnesseGod
+12 Thank you captain obvious! Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+11 Entirely depends on who you work for, who your client is, and who your engaged buyers are on a mandate. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+11 The reality is you do all these interviews and it seems like the interviewers know so much more about these stocks than you, but once you’re in the seat, you realize everyone is just making it up as they go.  Investment Analyst in HF - EquityHedge
+11 SS ER internships vary between quite easy and extremely hard. I actually found my internship to be essentially 8 weeks where the latter half was a month long version of my most stressful weeks on the job. nutmegger189
+11 5 year outlook is pretty bleak, likely will look something like this: 2027 - Fire current IB leadership, Barclays group heads etc Associate Director in IB-M&A
+11 OP here.  Prospect in Risk Mnmgt
+11 Oh look another one of these guys. Do you hear yourself? Son, you are a junior. Do you know what that word means? It means you were hired as your PM’s bitch. Now, should it be that way? Benson Says
+11 Protected Saturdays is what the MDs say to protect themselves and make themselves feel better. They really don’t care about you like at all, and often blame juniors for their own lack of success Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+11 Also it’s understated how poor at time management and organization some of the MDs EDs Ds are. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov

+11 Congrats on UBS! Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+11 Did you just now have a grand epiphany that the spreadsheets never loved you back? Goldman ballsack
+11 Every quarter it’s “just wait until integration is finished.” Every quarter the league tables get worse. Prospect in IB - Gen
+11 I’m a guy and I cried at least 2 times a month when I was there. People at UBS aren’t treated like human beings and my life has improved so much after leaving. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+10 Do you guys have any clue how PE fundraising and LP bureaucrats work? Principal in PE - LBOs
+10 based on the fact that these people are faking comments, this shit is probably ass Intern in Consulting
+10 Smh is this rage bait or is you retarded 😭 Intern in IB - Gen
+10 If you’re an associate (especially associate 3) you shouldn’t have to ask a question like this in a forum. Seems like you lack basic leadership/mentoring ability. I am sorry for the analysts on your team. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+10 Because despite the bullshit repeated tirelessly by high school students on this forum, the so called "elite" boutiques are in 90% of the case not even remotely comparable to BB. Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+10 Intern in PE - LBOs
+10 Lmao not even $200mm in advisory revenue globally, so probably less than $100mm in the US. Why even bother doing M&A Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+10 Bump - turns out he’s just a degenerate rtard who never hedged. Has legit insider info alpha pool yet still couldn’t take advantage. Who would have thought.  youthBlaze
+10 Edited by AI for language reasons. Figure I'd provide a more fullsome answer as the main focus. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+10 Source: dumb TikTok video instilling fear on sophomores Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+10 Congrats on UBS! Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+10 Definitely picking UBS TMT over Q after this.  JustADude
+10 Average UBS M&A experience. Group is hell on earth. So many people quit without anything lined-up because there are not even any exits. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+10 Wow, something I feel qualified in answering. I was a nuclear officer in the Navy before I started my MBA (M7) and recruited for IB. SSN-Veteran
+10 Not sure if still the case, but my group at UBS targeted having 50% of the analyst class as internationals on H1B/OPT visas.  Intern in IB - Gen
+10 Grass is always greener... sounds great until you work 80 hours a week in residency making 60k a year Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+10 Culture at UBS was extremely toxic - wouldn’t wish it on my enemies  Intern in IB - Gen
+10 Banks probably shouldn’t be hiring H1Bs. It’s not special work and you can absolutely find Americans to do it. I’d prefer to see kids from shit hole states getting more opportunities… Analyst 2 in HF - EquityHedge
+10 This is probably the most concerning part of the CS integration. Cost cuts and synergies are one thing, but league table share is much harder to rebuild once clients move elsewhere. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+10 Even MDs cry, this place is awful Prospect in IB - Gen
+10 What about UBS bruhboneguoh
+10 sources tell me UBS’s pipeline is stable. Please God.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A

+9 I think a couple things can be true - you are absolutely right that this is a long-term industry and we really lost sight of that over the past decade. CRESF
+9 Old school UBS bankers always resisted the urge to merge with CS because it would be bad for UBS, even if there were synergies on paper VP in IB - Cov
+9 100% agree.  Also, this is a long term industry - the whole point of real estate is not to make a fucking fortune on fees in the space of five years. Ozymandia
+9 Pierce & Pierce for M&A. Dog walk
+9 Yeah I’ve wasted 2 years of my career and leaving post bonus. They are just so dumb in their decision making and hiring Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+9 “2032 - Finally Top 10-15 again in US Banking” would bet a gorillion dollars this does not happen  Intern in IB - Gen
+9 Banks understand that people lose their jobs, fail licensing exams, and interview while being unemployed. That’s nothing new. sleepygoat
+9 Prestige is not having to work a W2 80 hours a week. The most prestigious people I know surf in the mornings and send two-word response emails from their iPhone.  CRE
+9 Deciding to start my career at UBS was objectively the worst decision of my life and I regret it daily  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+9 I think it's pretty funny that you've received such hilariously bad advice so far. Most people will say they're willing to help others but aren't necessarily interested in telling people the truth. nutmegger189
+9 The Committee on Self-Congratulation — 2026Oil on canvas. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+9 When do they run out of excuses? Associate 1 in IB - ECM
+9 they’ve been saying “next year” for 4 years and it keeps getting worse every year  Intern in IB - Gen
+9 Pls name a bank that’s comping internationals differently lol Intern in IB-M&A
+9 Looking back, I am so lucky to have been laid off at CS a month prior to the merger. What felt like a real kick in the dick at the time turned out to be the best thing that ever happened. VP in RE - Other
+9 high functioning alcholic meticulously describes 48 hour game plan to minimize hangover seems descriptive of wso at large  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+9 Most accurate tier list I have seen on this site. Good work Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+9 Celsius mango peach green tea should be S tier at least  wuandale33
+9 I'm talking about GS/JP/MS there. And even for BofA/Citi my point still stands. Hope this helps. Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+9 Work at a developer so cannot comments re hours in PE but have dealt with investors since we are selling assets to them. high_issue
+9 The people are the real issue. The hours would be fine if we were doing deals and the people were better. The people are all miserable and want to pass that misery onto others. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+9 are you pregnant by any chance? Intern in IB - Cov
+9 So sounds like the entire bonus pool just gets taken up by MDs.. Intern in IB - Gen
+9 If the year starts with a 2, shitty analyst bonuses confirmed  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+9 I get a tightness in my chest even just thinking about stepping into the floor of that group. Associate 2 in IB - Cov

+9 Another year of shitty analyst bonuses confirmed Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+9 So many people left the past 2 months.  It really does feel like a mass exodus is happening. Every American citizen is actively trying to leave (unless they are part of the barclays team). Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+9 UBS could evaporate and I wouldn't think twice but I've never been more convinced this entire thread is just one guy talking to himself. CharlesCheese
+9 Would not wish UBS M&A on my worst enemy  Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+9 For 2022 intern class (July 2023 start date), UBS  made the decision to defer half of the incoming class and not honor the return offers. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+9 Congrats on UBS! Associate Director in IB-M&A
+8 nah your good; you just have to get some practice in doing mocks.  johnsmith41_1
+8 Yes what a great strategy!  Rely on a workforce motivated by fear of having to move back to India and live around other Indians. Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+8 Dude is all you do shit post about UBS? Are you upset you got RIF'd? brunerrrburnerrr
+8 Finance is an industry where people fail upwards. If your intern is a smart guy most likely in 5-10yrs his career will end up fine. Give him a chance. Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+8 In defence of UBS, it's not like they had a choice in acquiring Credit Suisse - government and Central Bank pressure meant they HAD to.  unders
+8 Trust me. They want to leave as well PitchKing
+8 This is modern day slavery, why are you doing this? rpdwldn
+8 That is genuinely one of the worst hardo questions I've heard, and it would annoy the shit out of anyone, especially in levfin. Goodwill is locked in at close. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+8 Hah Half of all bankers are autistic IMO Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+8 Advisory was down, FRC got smoked, the biggest deals still go to real banks, and UBS keeps hiding behind “capital discipline” because “clients do not trust us with major mandates” sounds too honest. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
