UBS Cadetship (4 Viewers)

[seremify007]

Congrats to all who got an interview but to those who didn't, seriously, it's just a cadetship. Not the end of the world. Most people join companies/organisations through graduate programs or internships. Cadetships are still a relatively niche thing and by no means is it an indicator or guarantee of any form of future career success or happiness. If you really wanted to prove your relevance to risk management you would have diversified your applications anyway

I would assume to haven't. Don't worry.

Also, yes it may be 60 people. I know it isn't many. I know I would be less than 200, and considering 2000+ people would of applied that's very small

Do you just make up these number or something?? As said earlier, an ID number may not be an accurate reflection of the amount of people that applied.

There Are from what I have heard and from what other cadets tell me.

I Ex student from my school who is a cadet for KPMG gave a talk today and said every year 5000 would apply at PWC etc and roughly 2000 at UBS

I highly doubt the reliability of those numbers for various reasons but let's just say even if there are that many applications, how many of them are genuine vs. junk applications?

True. But that's what he said.

But doesn't really matter howany applied. We just know it's alot


Also. It says your need to wear business clothes. Would my formal suit be okay?

That's what I wore but obviously make sure it's a suit and not a tux. Wear appropriate shirt and tie, as well as shoes.

This is going to sound bad But what's a tux? I am such a derp

I wore like a business jacket thing to my formal, the kind of one you see new reporters wear

Tuxedo.

To be honest I'm sure your formal suit will look fine as long as it's not some outrageous colour (white, bright colours, fluros, etc). Stick to blacks, browns, greys and navy.

Seems to be a trend. Can't tell if it's a spambot or just someone who... doesn't know what to say.

Numbers are definitely way off. Those figures seem more like those for graduate positions, rather than cadetships. Numbers arent generally a public thing anyway because they can offer as little or as many positions as they like so these figures may always change.

I still don't know why everyone has such an obsession with how many people applied. If you're good enough and they think you're suitable enough you will get an offer or go far in these application processes.

But basically at this stage there will be no more than circa 60-80 interviews. After this there is a very large cut made (particularly considering Merrill Lynch or any of the others aren't offering this year)

I think I've said a fair bit about this on another post within this thread. At UBS you work full time and study part time for at least the first year or two. However UBS' structure is much different to most say accounting cadetships is that the contract gives UBS total discretion over what to do. It depends on the circumstances around how UBS will use you as an employee so it's varied.

As I said I'm not going to disclose too much on this actual forum itself but I'm just giving you an idea.

But what if you do a double degree at uni?
