Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
There were speakers from various divisions sharing insight into their respective role and daily work. There were also interactive networking sessions that allowed students to talk to UBS employees in small groups.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It definitely provided me with a more holistic view of UBS and guided me to find the division that I wish to pursue a career in. In this way, I now understand the core 'business model' and operation style of each division, which would undoubtedly facilitate future conversations related to finance.
