Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
The internship was a great opportunity to get a better understanding of the roles in global markets, and develop my skillset. The only concern is that when compared to the other BB banks, you will not have an idea on if you are likely to receive a Graduate job until the very end of the internship whereas at other banks you tend to know by week 4/5 out of 10 what desks are hiring and it feels there is a lack of clarity and organisation on this at UBS that leads to a weird dynamic in the last few weeks.
Please rate your level of enjoyment on your placement / internship
