Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

We got an overview of all the main divisions of the UBS business, and a Q and A with employees at the end of each overview. There were also networking sessions with employees from all divisions, where we were able to ask questions in smaller groups. The insight was extremely interactive, we were asked to contribute and suggest ideas at nearly every session. We did an AI debate and had a group project to work on throughout the week, there was also a collaboration with AmplifyME where we were able to try out some trading simulations.

How would you rate the structure of the insight

5/5

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

It was really eye-opening. There were far more jobs available within each division than I was expecting. It gave me an incredible overview of the business as a whole, as well as how all the divisions work together.

Please rate how insightful you found the insight
