    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • It was a fun and interesting experience and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to se what is it like to work within an investment bank. Do some research before you interview so that you have a preference for what division you want to shadow.

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Maybe not that much skills for my studies but the AC at the end of the week was a good practise for your interview skills. Otherwise it was more of a informative week.

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • The structure was really good and everyday was planned with different activities and there was never a moment when we had nothing to do. The work shadowing was probably the best part of the week where you really got to see what it is like to work at an UBS. The AC at the end of the week was also a great opportunity to be fast tracked to a summer internship just practise the numerical test before.
