+18 Most important: "know the markets" hrpowers9
+18 It’s crazy because if you just treated analysts and associates well and paid them fairly, you would get better business results.  Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+18 Put another way: life’s too short to work at UBS Analyst 2 in IB - Gen

+18 Senior in M&T who threw the papers should be fired for failure to originate in the first place  Intern in IB-M&A

+18 I hear you, the highs are high but tbh the grass truly is greener here. Also, it’s very group, and even individual, specific. VP in PE - LBOs
+18 Maybe UBS should just acquire an IT body shop like Infosys, TCS, or Cognizant. Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+18 Probably not. Senior associate and VP seats at MF's are limited. Your odds of getting cut after 2 years are much higher than if you were to just stay in banking. All of your coworkers are going to be doing great work. BuySideIntern

+18 DO NOT REDEEM THE DCF! Associate 1 in IB - Gen

+18 y'all this was the team that placed last at the pitch comp lmfao Intern in IB-M&A
+18 This is exhibit A on why you should hire hungry non-targets instead of Marxists from Ivy League schools  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+18 It’s funny because this is 100% within the realm of possibility of something that analysts could do. Unlike their planned “walk-out” or bitching over the $30 meal stipend, they could actually drive real change. Intern in IB - Gen
+18 “Yes, I’d love to be a summer intern in GS FIG team because I would likely be able to source you a $20bn deal” Associate 3 in IB - Cov

+18 Only saying BB or EB is a worthless data point for this exercise lmao Ion26
+18 This is dirty by senior executives and they are becoming habitual offenders for which markets need to penalize them. Restructuring costs every quarter are not ok.   Executive Director in IB - Cov
+18 Yes revenue not 0, so there are deals. Just nowhere near the rate where you expect a BB to be at relative to crazy amount of manpower there Managing Director in IB - Gen
+18 Everyone complaining about this is gay. It's not like he has a golden ticket, this kid has to work at UBS now. johnnypython
+18 Totally hear you. Come to Citi.  We'll give you half the bonus and but in exchange will give you the pleasure of working 1.5x the hours Works at Citigroup
+18 On Monday, just come in early and sit in the MD's chair. Say to him, "I am the MD now." You will go down as a legend. HarvardMD
+18 Fix your country instead of voting for clowns destroying your economy and then moving down here and then trying to make the US another liberal shithole.  Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+18 Congrats on Piff! JP Minion
+18 I recently left the industry but can speak to one good and three alarming trends I've seen which I believe will continue in the coming 3-5 years. Let's start with the good. The Pharma Guy
+18 My thoughts are, girls can sue a company for being run like a frat house, but guys can't sue a company for being run like a Montessori kindergarten Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+18 Has anything gone well for GB over the past 3 years? Any victories or successes?  Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+18 [comment space reserved for eventual collated 2026 analyst bonus table] The_Paymaster
+18 I call BS here. What do you bring to a VC fund after 2 years as a PE analyst or associate? Ability to take punishment? Top notch modeling capabilities? kuf135
+18 Sorry to rain on your parade, KolorTurtle, but there seem to be some notable names missing on this list, and there also doesn’t seem to be any clear methodology behind these rankings. The_Biotech_Banking_Expert
+18 this doesn't fit my narrative so i'm going to assume your lying Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+18 lol, only "a lot of Jews are anti-muslim", but "most Muslims are anti-semitic". some great unbiased & rigorous analysis right there - you are brainwashed. Prospect in IB-M&A
+18 The fact that JEC even exists means juniors felt the need to collectively bargain, or really collectively beg for things. Let’s formalize it with UBS! United for Banking Standards! Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+18 Hi Hamza PM in HF - Event
+18 Not to mention the horrendous treatment by H1B directors and executive directors who think they can treat analysts and associates like actual slaves  Analyst 1 in IB - Cov
+18 Agree with the prior post. I dont know how MV can be allowed to stay on for much longer. Certainly will be gone by next summer. And when he leaves, all the barclays people will be at grave risk. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+18 This is what no sex does to a man Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+18 Yes you are. Unfortunately if you were as good as you think you are, you wouldn't have had to sabotage this other intern to beat him out for the spot.  Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+18 that is the nail in the coffin lol K5JbYq3Zg2MvXw4L8HpR7TsE6FnU1DcO0AaSbWxPdQzCfGjViNhTmLoIrY
+18 I’m genuinely so confused. DEI got repealed like what? 2 years ago now? You even have dudes like mark zuck coming out and dunking on minorities openly. You guys are truly still bitching about DEI? Must be a skill issue. H-1Beast
+18 Don’t do this. No one should ever do this. Self love is not about making changes to yourself to achieve some ideal that you think will make you happy. It’s about accepting yourself for who you are. Associate 1 in PE - LBOs
+18 They are trying to get a job, what do you want them to do? You didn't network when you were interviewing? Associate 1 in IB - Cov

+18 Yes, when I think of humane labor practices, I think of the south! VP in PE - LBOs
+18 Unfortunately I went through this about 5 years ago as a Senior A: Principal in PE - LBOs
+18 Most disgusting congressional election in my lifetime hands down. PrivateTechquity 🚀🚀🚀
+18 There are four arenas here imo: technical competence, resourcefulness, attitude, and perfectionism. Below is what I think the standard for “middle bucket” is, for someone who is in their first year of IB. Bankasaurus
+17 I performed well in my coverage, my most senior guy did great, second guy was meh, and newest junior obviously is still just doing blocking and tackling mostly. erwannabe
+17 This is clearly a troll but I'll bite only because I know others will read this.  Associate 1 in IB - Cov
+17 I would say their treatment of analysts is pretty similar to what to expect across the BBs. But overall treatment of analysts at BB is not great Associate 2 in IB - Cov
+17 She is your girlfriend, not your wife. If you want some say over joint finances, spend some money of your own and get married, ESPECIALLY since part of this is her needing to extend her VISA. CRE

+17 10:45 am or pm? Analyst 2 in IB - Gen
+17 This started off as a reasonable rant but ended up with a lot of inaccuracies. I work in PC and love making fun of this industry (even run a meme account that does so) but lets get some stuff straight  VP in Private Credit
+17 OP summoned the UBS hate train  Analyst 2 in IB-M&A
+17 A relatively small group of imported senior bankers came in and effectively built a new hierarchy over the top of an already fragile UBS / CS integration and looted bonus pool to enrich themselves. Analyst 2 in IB - Cov
+17 This entire story reads like a fan fiction and there’s no way this actually happened. In what universe can your director “gain access to your bank accounts” lmfao. Analyst 1 in IB-M&A
+17 Cardone Capital and Tides Equities for sure Prospect in RE - Comm
+17 Real friends dont trick friends into working at UBS. Truly inhumane place. Take any somewhat reputable bank over us. Analyst 1 in IB - Gen
+17 I went through the (painful) work of actually determining if these analysts are in IB vs. other functions, which makes the data more accurate. It's also broken out by group which takes a bit of work to map.  terabyte
+17 I always think these things don’t matter once you’re on the desk but then people like you exist on wso, lol Intern in IB - Gen
+17 What in the world am I reading? Can college students please stop trying to roleplay on this site Analyst 3+ in HF - EquityHedge
+17 First of all, congrats on two strong offers. Based on the your comment below (I cant quote it for whatever reason), it sounds like you are leaning toward the Corporate role. Deal Team Six
