Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend UBS to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to UBS
Prepare by researching the company, but if you don’t study finance don’t be worried to be open about that in the interview. The interviewers will be understanding and won’t expect you to know everything going on in that case.
