+1 In what world is this an actual question? It's pretty clearly UBS just based on historical reputation and status. WSO is basically UBS hating forum though, but just check Linkeldn for exits. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 UBS by miles  overlord481216
+1 It could make sense but you need consider retail pricing on individual homes and saturating the micro market with for sale product simultaneously. cpgame
+1 Please do a basic linkeldn search instead of beleiving anything and everything you read on this forum. It truly is not very difficult.  Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 A lot of these schools are very good schools, like upper semi targets. Intern in IB - Cov
+1 Facts - are they not just M&A for sponsor backed deals? Seems like deal flow should be strong here. Obviously slight discount to regular M&A but you would still list M&A on your resume Analyst 3+ in IB - Cov
+1 It's your guys fault. Accelerated timelines and so little offers to go around. In this job market, it's of course going to be everyone out for himself, the applicant included. Prospect in IB - Gen
+1 Not a big watch guy, my gf got me a fossil watch for our anniversary. Only $150 and I really like it and I love my gf a lot. Will I get clowned on for wearing it during my SA? Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+1 Had the same thing happen; was a meeting with the founder that was purely personality based. Got the offer on the spot at the end of the call. However, could also be a case of it's a tie-breaker of you vs. another person. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen

+1 Catalyst placements this year have been great with several going to EBs. AsianBecky69

+1 Yes you can wear it. Nobody's gonna respect anyone for wearing a +$1,000 watch if he never worked to pay it. And respect your gf gifts. Incoming Analyst in IB-M&A
+1 Another thing I’d add is - as you get older / more mature, your peers don’t buy a $5k watch because they made $5k and can spend it. Aine

+1 you plucked the bottom, friend. congrats on getting a non-consensus take right happinessfutures
+1 UBS is still a top 5 levfin shop, driven by the same sponsor-backed forte they / CS have always had (this is pretty easily checked on dealogic). Hank Marducus

+1 Anyone hear back from nyc SD yesterday? SnailPOT
+1 Very situational. What's the shop like? Are they concentrated in one region? Do they expect the analysts to have a sense of their portfolio and how each pursuit slots into their existing product?  Associate 2 in RE - Comm
+1 Gg. Software analysts were gleefully looking down on most other sectors, the tables have turned. Now they are begging the people they looked down on to give them a job. therealgekko

+1 congrats on getting 2x bonus! Would you say your firm is one of the more generous or more performance oriented LO? Investment Analyst in AM - Equities
+1 It's fair point to say that if you are a sr. you have not really been affected by this. I guess my post is mainly geared towards juniors (sub-5yrs exp) or those who will enter as juniors. therealgekko
+1 ideally you're having comp expectation discussions in the early stages to know whether or not either party wants to proceed with the process... Investment Analyst in HF - Event

+1 UBS shills are relying on old data from multiple years ago, refresh your sources Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+1 At MF rn (latest fund >20b) - vibes have been fine (not great, not bad). Our portfolio has held up better than others (maybe 1/2 names where we truly believe capital will be impaired) so that helps. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+1 Hilarious that so many clowns are giving you downvotes. Excellent point on not following what she says on how many guys vs. therealgekko
+1 They pay absurdly high so assume it’s EB hours, maybe slightly below since they focus on 1 niche tho and will likely do less random fire drills. Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+1 Yes, the credit use for Code and Cowork are far too high for the pro plan. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs
+1 Strongly strongly depends on the specific CB team. Would need to be top decile for the two to be comparable to stack up IMO. Analyst 2 in RE - Comm
+1 Didn’t bankers at UBS get paid lower than big 4 consultants. Managing Director in IB-M&A
+1 Del awdjcmok
+1 For those who are feeling disillusioned, where are you exiting to? Smaller funds? HF? Leaving investing altogether? Personally feel like I’ve seen more folks exiting to family offices. Associate 2 in PE - LBOs

+1 Wouldn't services companies be able to automate more of their work and generate higher margins with AI? Or are you seeing their customers take things in house and / or put pricing pressure on their vendors? kuf135
+1 definitely not cooked — I did but stay patient and you never know! Xoxoax
+1 Exactly why MBA AS make far better careered bankers than A2A direct promos. The execution skills are by and large useless at a large bank given you would have large product teams to support you.  Associate Director in IB - ECM

+1 If you have prior experience, then Warwick would allow you to stand out. Keep in mind that at this point, you would still have to network like crazy. Look at your CV and think, what makes me stand out? Internat.Kid

+1 Working on an Outsourcing / AI consulting project with our off-shore team and on-shore Product Managers. The output of the work overseas (and some on-shore H1B types) is absolutely laughable. NewIndustryHorizon
