+22 It’s funny watching people scream “DEI = insolvency” while ignoring that UBS’s issues have nothing to do with hiring women or minorities. It has everything to do with being irrelevant in U.S. banking. Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+22 It's personal preference. US is hands down better to generate wealth as an individual. However I prefer living in EU. I take like 3 holidays a year, alongside numerous long weekend city trips. petight

+21 Never realized everyone on here hailed from working class backgrounds! Managing Director in IB - Gen
