Question 1

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at UBS (London, England) in Nov 2025
Interview
Standard level of difficulty, nothing too technical.
They cared mainly about motivations for global markets, situational judgement and past experiences /how you could implement that into the role. Overall, it is what you would expect
Was required to talk mainly about activities outside of econ and ability to collaborate in teams. Not too tight for time but important to just try stay calm even if you find a question difficult.
