I applied through university. I interviewed at UBS
Interview
Applied through my campus portal. Heard back 2+ months and received an interview at my college campus. Mostly behavioral based questions. Interviewers were really friendly and laid back. Consisted of 3 half hour interviews back to back. Focused on team work and personality over technical questions. Show an interest in the firm and know about the programs offered.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Where could you see yourself in the next 5-10 years?
One online zoom call with PWM advisor and associate. Mostly behavioral and market questions - be prepared for some some scenario analysis (ex: if a client won the lottery for $50,000,000 - how you invest it and what is the breakdown across asset classes).
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at UBS (New York, NY) in Apr 2025
Interview
Mostly behavioral questions and one question about current events. There were about seven questions in total. The whole hirevue took me about 30 minutes to complete. It is not very difficult to prepare for.
