+12 A former academy intern told me they watched an analyst literally get taken out on a stretcher by the paramedics (young, 20s) who had a stroke. Still not sure how they managed to cover that up. Works at Point72

+12 They do quarterly cuts, can’t you just raise your hand? Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov

+12 Predictions on what will happen a decade in the future is for academics and economists - not real estate people who have to make and do things in the here and now. asmith_1
+12 Congrats on UBS PhantomGhost
+12 Using AI to produce client deliverables is completely unacceptable. The client is paying for your judgment and expertise, not a polished LLM output. Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+12 I feel sorry for u that u feel $4m liquid net worth at 35 is unsatisfying. You’ll never be truly happy if all youre concerned about is having more money in the bank. Analyst 1 in PE - Growth
+12 So fucking ridiculous. The audacity to send a revised offer letter a year later to just change compensation…if you worked 70 hrs a week, that changes total comp by 16K Intern in IB - Cov
+12 You're going to have a difficult time finding exactly what you're looking for. CRE
+12 The 64th floor window Abusement Park

+12 Bro Mifid was 10 years ago. Whatever effects are from it have already embedded, the industry is still here (and this convo has been done to death, do some... Research...). Research Analyst in ER
+12 You obviously don't need to work in IB to be intellectually challenged, based on your current track record. Research less competitive roles and try lateraling later. Analyst 1 in IB - CB
+12 insane sentence monkeyvjit
+12 Dress up to the level of the team. Take notes, ask questions jmr206
+12 Don't be weird. Carry a small notebook and a pen with you at all times. You will be told to do a list of things. Write them down. CRE
+12 Good use of Ai slop. No one has time to read through UBS AI generated garbage, so might as well summarize it here Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+12 If you don’t want a large coffee to yourself you can always ask the alum if they’d like to share one Intern in IB-M&A
+12 Not sure why UBS would disappear as a BB. Bigger/better than RBC and DB qazwsx246
+12 You sound like you have your head in the right place and are very reasonable. Raised the right way. Most people on here either have no empathy or simply try to be edgelords. Research Associate in AM - FI
+12 There has been a large uptick in interest for this space especially amongst the junior level. I always caution people away from it for a few primary reasons... Principal in HF - Other

+12 Have worked at an EB for a decade (and went to an ivy), it basically used to be like this. Quaneaser
+12 *UPDATE Still employed. For now. MD closed the door, read the prompt out loud. Slowly. Then said: “the output was actually pretty good.” He let that sit for a second. “That’s the problem.” Associate 2 in AM - Other
+11 Make riders great again Analyst 2 in PE - Other
+11 Threads like this always crack me up. Half the definitions of “cultured” in here just sound like code for “grew up rich.” TLBandChill
+11 If you give up and start moping about how sorry you feel for yourself, then you’re totally fucked and no one can help you. Partner in RE - Comm
+11 has anyone actually confirmed that meal stipends are going away? seems like misinformation Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+11 Reject UBS, you won’t regret it Associate 2 in IB - Gen

+11 We’re in the endgame now, where people have become secondhand thinkers. I think I’m going to learn how to farm. VP in PE - LBOs
+11 Literally nothing will change lol. Everyone’s freaking about how Zohran wants to raise taxes, when NYC income tax is set by Albany.   Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+11 Maple Sirup SlurperImagine people who actually work at UBS reading these threads. Associate 1 in IB-M&A
+11 How did UBS manage to move up in the rankings  Prospect in IB - Cov
+11 Based on this trajectory, WF looks to replace UBS as the next bulge bracket bank. No WF is not currently a core bulge bracket. frontierflyer
+11 UBS over WF is laughable. Cements the idea that “prestige” is a lagging indicator and shouldn’t be used for anything. randommonkey3843
+11 Hi, I would like to show my interest in the role with the below pitch which is the DEAL OF A LIFETIME for Chattanooga-based M&A  🚨🚨🚨KEY INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS🚨🚨🚨 Analyst 1 in IB - Cov

+11 It'll be uncs like me deciding on your application, son. MMPM
+11 Lot of noise is created from fintwit and bloomberg headlines that distort reality. PC does have problems and I think PC firms that have more exposure to LMM or software would experience some losses on their portfolio. Prospect in IB - Gen
+11 Completely disagree. As a vista LP… Managing Director in HF - Other
+11 I'm in exactly the same boat as you, and wanted to offer some perspective based on my own evaluation of the MBA.  Associate 3 in CorpStrat
+11 Think of recruiting in this industry as "these employers set aside X seats from Y target schools." Target schools won't be 100% of a hiring class, but it will be majority and the path of least resistance.Dartmouth is consi PE-biz-dev
+11 So many things are wrong with this. Dyal in S+? Deutsche in A tier? Also why is UBS getting compared to a human turd, they are don't deserve that much praise unknown4234

+11 It’s illegal to retaliate   Associate 1 in IB - Gen
+11 I hope true Americas #6, buys UBS IB Americas and fires all their lazy asses Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+11 The risk of slacking and doing minimal work is much lower than publicly unionize. Only risk is 0 bonus, but so what. Why care abt 30K post tax bonus when you are making 350K in 2 years? eatbanana1234
+11 Feels a lot of ppl on this forum are a bit too idealistic and somehow a bit irresponsible when trying to persuade 1st year to unionize. eatbanana1234
+11 heard rutgers has been killing it, solid M&A eb placements this cycle  Associate 2 in IB-M&A
+11 I’ve been in several corporate environments and UBS is by far the worst managed of them all Director in IB - ECM
+11 yes 100% the MI6 and CIA is investigating you as we speak and you will pay a dear price for this heinous crime ultra_user

+11 I mean honestly the UBS Americas is failing but PWM and bank as a whole is doing fine  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+11 You have nothing to worry about age wise. There are people in this industry who would kill to have a wife and kids / they chose banking first, made MD, and have nothing outside of the office. KageSelly
+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 names that aren’t too weird interesting way to say "no Indian on my floor" lmao Partner in PE - LBOs
+11 This is honestly a bit disturbing. This is 100% because Trump didn't like their interest rate policy. We need an independent Fed and this is a political move to make it not independent.  kiltedlowlander
